Compass for BC

BC curriculum updates? Know exactly what you’ve covered.

BC’s redesigned curriculum is in place, and the question that follows is always the same: am I actually covering it? Compass turns BC’s Big Ideas, Curricular Competencies, and Content into a live coverage map, taught, planned, and still to come, for every class you carry.

The coverage question

“Have I covered the new curriculum?” shouldn’t be a guess.

When the curriculum gets redesigned, the hard part isn’t learning the new content, it’s proving your year actually reaches it. A colleague’s spreadsheet, a printout of Big Ideas with half of them highlighted, a long-range plan that quietly stopped matching the room.

Compass turns that around. Because your plans and lessons feed the tracker, your BC coverage map is a byproduct of the planning you already do, and “are we on track against the redesign?” becomes a one-glance question.

Free to start. No student names, no personal data.

What Compass shows you

Your BC curriculum, in three colours.

It works in BC’s real curriculum language, the Know-Do-Understand model, so you’re tracking against Big Ideas, Curricular Competencies, and Content exactly as they’re written.

Taught

The Big Ideas, Competencies, and Content you’ve covered, with the lessons that back them up.

Planned

What’s scheduled and where it lands, so your long-range plan stays a living document.

Still to come

The honest gap list, visible early enough to act on, not discovered once the term is already behind you.

Built for BC teaching loads

One class or seven preps. Same glance.

Elementary generalists

One class, every subject, a single dashboard. See at a glance that science is thriving and socials needs a week.

Secondary teachers

Each course tracked on its own across semesters, so the section that slipped behind its twin is obvious early.

Combined and multi-grade classes

Coverage held separately for each grade, without a second spreadsheet to babysit.

Report card season

Draw a coverage summary the moment reporting opens, and start from evidence instead of memory.

CARL + Compass

See a gap. Build the lesson. In one loop.

A tracker that only points at the gap leaves the real work on your desk. In Compass, an uncovered BC outcome becomes a Plan Idea, and that Plan Idea opens in CARL as an aligned lesson draft with its materials. Gap to plan to lesson to taught, one connected loop rather than four separate tools.

Canadian-made

Built in Canada, hosted in Canada, and no personal student data.

Compass measures your coverage of the BC curriculum, never your students. It holds class-level information only, made by a Canadian team and kept on Canadian servers.

FAQ

Questions teachers ask first.

Yes. Compass tracks taught, planned, and outstanding outcomes against BC’s redesigned curriculum, Big Ideas, Curricular Competencies, and Content.
Three ways in: mark outcomes directly, point Smart Scan at plans you already have, or let anything you build in CARL update coverage on its own. Jumping in mid-year is fine.
It is how BC organizes its curriculum: Understand (Big Ideas), Do (Curricular Competencies), and Know (Content). Compass tracks across all three.
Yes. Each class or course gets its own tracking, and you see them all in one place.
When Compass shows a gap, CARL builds the aligned BC lesson to fill it. Compass is the tracking half of the loop; CARL is the planning half.
Yes. Create BC coverage summaries when you need them, for reporting, planning meetings, or your own peace of mind.
No. Coverage is about the curriculum, not the kids, so there are no names and no personal data in it.
Yes, made and hosted in Canada, and built alongside CARL.
