Frequently Asked Questions

What is different about Embarc in comparison to other curriculum and LMS products?
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.
Does Embarc integrate with Google and other external sources?
Yes! Embarc has a feature to link with Google Drive and Google Team Drive. In addition, Embarc has the capability to attach documents, videos, external links and other media at the course, unit, topic, activity, class, and lesson plan level to be shared and stored in the central repository of resources.
How can teachers collaborate with others on planning units and lessons?
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.
What sharing and collaboration tools are built into Embarc?
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.
How can Embarc help with classroom management?
Teachers can use the “Student Portal” to lead discussions, make announcements, assign homework, and provide educational resources to students and parents. With Embarc, you can continually build a pool of shared resources and communication tools that are aligned to the curriculum.
Can students and parents access our curriculum through Embarc?
Yes! Embarc makes sharing your curriculum easy with an online curriculum portal for public consumption, providing total transparency to students, families or the entire community. In addition, with Embarc+, a student portal landing page is provided to capture all learning assignments, assessments, and resources for each class in one location.
What analytics and reporting does Embarc offer?
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.
Can I customize the Embarc curriculum or is this a one-size-fits-all product?
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.
How will Embarc help my district vertically align our curriculum?
Embarc helps you get a “big picture” view of how your curriculum guides instruction. 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.
