Compass for Ontario

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

Ontario’s expectations keep evolving, the 2023 Language curriculum, de-streamed Grade 9 math, revised strands, and the question that follows is always the same: am I actually covering it? Compass turns Ontario’s overall and specific expectations into a live coverage map, taught, planned, and still to come, for every class you carry.

The coverage question

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

When a subject’s expectations get revised, 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 expectation list, the long-range plan that stopped matching reality weeks ago.

Compass flips that. Your plans and lessons feed the tracker, so your Ontario coverage picture updates as a byproduct of planning, and you can answer “where are we against the revised expectations?” in one glance.

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

What Compass shows you

Your Ontario curriculum, in three colours.

It works in Ontario’s real curriculum language, so you’re tracking against overall and specific expectations, strand by strand, exactly as they’re written, right through revisions like the 2023 Language curriculum and de-streamed Grade 9 math.

Taught

The overall and specific expectations 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 Ontario teaching loads

One class or seven sections. Same glance.

Elementary teachers

Every subject for one class on one dashboard. See that science is thriving and social studies needs a week.

Secondary teachers

Track each course separately across semesters, including the section that’s a week behind the other one.

Combined and multi-grade classes

Parallel coverage per grade without parallel spreadsheets.

Report card season

Coverage summaries on demand, so reporting starts from evidence instead of memory.

CARL + Compass

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

Most trackers stop at showing you the problem. In Compass, an uncovered Ontario expectation becomes a Plan Idea, and a Plan Idea opens in CARL as a curriculum-informed lesson draft with materials. Gap, plan, lesson, taught, in one connected loop instead of four tools.

Canadian-made
