Compass Learning is an online curriculum for K-12 students that provides individualized learning paths based on NWEA MAP scores. Students take the MAP test, which assigns a RIT score for overall ability and individual subjects. Compass Learning then creates customized learning paths for each student based on their MAP results. Students access tutorials, activities, games and quizzes at their own pace through Compass Learning to progress toward academic goals. Teachers can monitor students' progress through reports on the system.
