Tools for Teachers

Compass prioritizes the well-being of staff, promotes open communication and work-life balance, and provides resources for managing stress. Aside from direct benefits, Compass educators benefit from in-house professional development opportunities and coaching, 2.5 hours of planning time daily for K-8 teachers, small class sizes to foster a family environment, and professional learning communities (PLCs) and listening sessions to share ideas and strategies. Compass provides a world-class education within a supportive, joyful, and hopeful school culture. The schools are intentionally small to foster a family environment where teachers can focus on the individual child, ensuring they develop trusting, positive relationships with students.

Thoughtful planning and strategic implementation of supports to identify and address the needs of all learners earned a Reward School status for 50% of Compass Schools and Level 5 TVAAS status for 83% of Compass Schools. Significant growth, as characterized by a Level 5 TVAAS and the Reward School designation, means Compass students are rebounding from the negative impacts of the pandemic, the teachers are effectively helping students reach academic goals, and the curriculum plan is getting results. These honors prove Compass is successfully moving students toward proficiency and beyond.
