How Compass works
Compass helps students get unstuck without doing the work for them.
1
Type what’s stuck.
In plain words, or find your topic from a list.
2
Get one step.
One concrete action to try on your own work. Not a plan, not the answer. When Compass knows your topic, the action is usually a move an educator reviewed; when it does not, it is a general first step.
3
Tell Compass how it went.
Tell Compass what happened. It helped brings the next small step, or you keep going on your own. Still stuck brings a different way in, when one has been written for that skill. Too hard asks for a smaller step, when one has been written. When the reviewed moves run out, Compass says so and suggests showing the exact spot to a teacher or helper.
