Alberta curriculum renewal? Know exactly what you’ve covered.
Alberta’s Programs of Study keep renewing, grade by grade, and the question that follows is always the same: am I actually covering it? Compass turns Alberta’s organizing ideas, learning outcomes, and knowledge and understanding into a live coverage map, taught, planned, and still to come, for every class you carry.
“Have I covered the renewed curriculum?” shouldn’t be a guess.
When a subject’s Program of Study gets renewed, the hardest part isn’t the new content, it’s knowing whether your year still lines up with it. The spreadsheet from a colleague, the highlighted outcome list, the yearly plan that stopped matching reality weeks ago.
Compass flips that. Your plans and lessons feed the tracker, so your Alberta coverage picture updates as a byproduct of planning, and you can answer “where are we against the renewed Program of Study?” in one glance.
Free to start. No student names, no personal data.
Your Alberta curriculum, in three colours.
It works in Alberta’s real curriculum language, so you’re tracking against the Programs of Study, the renewed K-6 outcomes and the established junior and senior high courses, exactly as they’re written.
Taught
The organizing ideas and learning outcomes you’ve covered, with the lessons that back them up.
Planned
What’s scheduled and where it lands, so your yearly plan stays a living document.
Still to come
The honest gap list, visible early enough to act on, not discovered once the year is already behind you.
One class or seven preps. Same glance.
Elementary generalists
One class, every subject, one screen. Spot the strand that’s flying and the one that needs a week.
Junior and senior high teachers
Each course tracked on its own across terms, so the section running behind is obvious early.
Combined and multi-grade classes
Coverage kept separately per grade, without a second spreadsheet to maintain.
Report card season
Pull a coverage summary when reporting starts, and work from evidence rather than recall.
See a gap. Build the lesson. In one loop.
A tracker that only flags the gap leaves the real work to you. In Compass, an uncovered Alberta outcome turns into a Plan Idea you can open in CARL, where it becomes an aligned lesson draft with materials ready to teach. One loop from gap to taught, not four disconnected tools.
Canadian-built, Canadian-hosted, and no personal student data.
Compass measures how much of the Alberta curriculum you’ve covered, not anything about your students. Class-level information only, made and hosted by a Canadian team in Canada.
Questions teachers ask first.
See exactly where you stand
against Alberta’s curriculum.
Pick one class and Alberta mode, mark what you’ve taught so far (roughly is fine), and you’re looking at your first real coverage map inside an evening.
