Accessing Assigned Lessons
If your school is using the preset curriculum, content will automatically be assigned to your students. You can preview lessons by clicking on Start Lesson on the Current Lessons card shown on the home screen.

There are three options for delivering assigned lessons–whole-group, asynchronous, and blended. Check with your building administrator for guidance on which method of delivery your school will be using.
Whole-group: To deliver lessons to your whole class, project the digital lesson using a smart board or projector. Using this method allows you to control the pace and flow of the lesson content. Asynchronous: To deliver lessons asynchronously, students will log in to their Compass account and complete assigned lessons digitally on a device.
This is what a student sees when they log in to their account.

Blended: To deliver lessons using a blended model, students will log in to Compass and complete their assigned lessons on their devices and then come together for a class discussion.
