New + Available in the App Now
Highlight Key Resources with Featured Content
Make sure the most important materials are front and center. With the new Featured Content option, Administrators can assign a specific workbook or Collection to appear at the top of educators’ dashboards. This helps teachers quickly find and launch their next lesson without the need to search within the app.
Administrators can customize which content appears by grade level and view completion data—making it easier to implement Wayfinder and support students.
Easily Export Dashboard Data
Need quick insights on how content is being used? Administrators can now export detailed reports right from their dashboard.
These reports include information like lesson completions, content views, and more—making it simple to analyze trends and inform planning.
Flexible User Data + Enrollments
Managing user information is now more adaptable to the way your schools operate. Administrators can customize User Data—like content views and completions—as well as set enrollments based on the school, role, and term for each user.
Users can have multiple enrollments with different data configurations, making it easier to track engagement across changing roles or school years. Plus, Administrators have full control over whose data appears on their dashboard, giving them a clearer picture of how learning is happening across the Wayfinder app.
Updated Waypoints Interface
Waypoints has a fresh new look designed to make navigating assessments more intuitive. Educators will now see their names clearly labeled under completed assessments, making it easier to distinguish between classes.
In addition, a new “Students” toggle gives all users quick access to a complete list of students and their Waypoints results—helping teams review their progress more efficiently and stay organized across all classes and grade levels.
