Embarc is built for PK-12 education, beginning with a curriculum map designed by each district that provides for curriculum-driven instruction instead of lessons tied loosely to standards. This approach better aligns instruction and minimizes gaps between grade levels as every activity, lesson, assignment and assessment is tied back to the curriculum.

Embarc+ allows teachers to collaborate and share lessons and activities within the district, but also with other Embarc+ districts. This allows for sharing best practices and ideas and connecting teachers.

Standards, assessments, lessons and more are all housed together and accessible anywhere, anytime on Embarc, making course planning and collaboration more efficient. Teachers can share best practices with peers, search for and replicate entire courses, units, topics, or activities, and streamline curriculum sharing within the district to ensure overall alignment.

Embarc offers a variety of reporting features so you can easily analyze instructional patterns and export in the format you need (PDF, CSV, Excel, Word, PowerPoint) for sharing with school boards or parents. These 60+ reports are available at the student, classroom, campus and district levels and disaggregates data on student performance, learning targets, and monitoring of instruction for administrators and teachers. A "Comments Report" aggregates course updates for PLC teams, and numerous standards reports ensure coverage and gap analysis.

Embarc allows you to create curriculum as unique as your district! Flexible design provides guidance to input curriculum without hindering district creativity, needs or beliefs. Customization can be designed at the district and teacher levels, and differentiations within a course or unit provide for accommodations and modifications notation.

Our PK-12 Standards Map Report helps you ensure courses are building upon and feeding into each other, and students are receiving the appropriate instruction for their grade level. Teachers also have access to view all grade levels for standards and expectations.
