Students and the faculty received training on the use of Compass Odyssey. The students will be using the web based software for remediation and improving their academic skills. Thanks to the grant we received from Atlantic Beach City Council we will be able to fund a teacher for morning tutoring.
The students will have the opportunity to come to school in the morning and use Compass Odyssey for Grade Recovery, Standards-based promotion, FCAT remediation. The lab will also be available in the afternoon for our Team-up students. Compass Odyssey is designed to give the students an initial assessment and determine what standards the student needs to work on. Then it will set up a personalized program of study.
The teachers will identify students who are in need of the program. They will also be able to download the student's report and monitor their progress. Since the Compass Odyssey is web-based some teachers will be using the program for enrichment activities to accompany their district curriculum.
