Compass Learning Odyssey is a web-based, interactive tool that differentiates instruction for students based on their individual MAP test results. It imports student MAP data to assign customized activity folders targeting each student's specific areas for growth or enrichment. Teachers can monitor student progress and assign additional activities. The program allows students to work at their own pace to improve skills through individualized, interactive activities.

1. Compass Learning Odyssey Overview and Application in the Middle School

2. What is Compass Learning Odyssey? Tool that directly connects data and technology Web-based and interactive Versatile- remediation, enrichment, and grade level instruction Differentiates learning based on student’s individual needs Allows teachers to easily make informed instructional decisions for each student as an individual Works collaboratively with MAP testing

3. After a student takes MAP… Imports student’s current data for math, reading, and language Uses the individual subgroup RIT range to assign folders of activities for each subgroup For example…When a student takes the MAP test, they could receive these RIT ranges for the following math subgroups: Algebra 218-231 Geometry 226-239 Numbers 222-228 Based on these scores, Compass Learning Odyssey then assigns a folder of individualized activities at their “ready to learn” level for each subgroup

4. Possible Uses Relative to Student Needs Remediation Bring students up to grade level Enrichment classes with students individually working on a targeted area of growth Worksheets directly tied to activities that can be used in small-group instruction Enrichment To push students beyond grade level Folders assigned for students to individually work on outside of school Direct Instruction To support grade level Interactive tools for use in the classroom Whole group activities with interactive white boards (Promethean/Mimio)

5. The Student Perspective Interactive and Individualized

6. Student logs in

7. Enters their subject portal (math, reading, language)

8. Opens folder connected to their targeted area of growth

9. Student selects their activity

10. Student completes activity

11. Upon completion, “backpacks” to check for skill proficiency prior to moving on, creating a sense of ownership in their personal progress

12. After completing all activities in that growth area folder, they can move on to the next targeted folder

13. The Teacher Perspective Monitoring and Management

14. Assess the folders assigned by MAP and interpret which folders need to be added in order to build skill

15. Teachers can quickly and easily assign additional folders at their discretion

16. Ability to digitally communicate within the system via Compass “email”

17. Ability to monitor by running reports to verify activity completion at proficiency level prior to student moving on

18. Utilization Report Overview of activities completed, time spent, average score, per class November 1st, 2010 to January 23, 2011 January 24, 2011 to February 7th, 2011

19. Student Progress Detailed outline of individual student’s progress by activity, date, time, score, and duration

20. Goal-Based Test Results Takes student’s individual scores for MAP subgroups and sorts for easy ability grouping

21. Increasing Student Achievement Student-centered program Directly aligned to district’s assessment already in place Additional hours of interactive learning directly at the student’s individual “ready to learn” level Ability to quickly and easily differentiate in order to meet students’ needs in a realistic and manageable way
