Overview
Waypoints is an assessment suite that helps you understand areas of strength and growth for
students in grades PreK-12 in relation to future-ready skills. Our formative and summative assessments effectively track student growth in each of our Core Skill areas (Self-Awareness, Adaptability, Empathy, Collaboration, Agency, and Purpose). Our algorithm analyzes data in real-time and recommends relevant activities to support your students’ greatest areas of need.
Summative Waypoints allow educators to measure student growth of Wayfinder’s six Core Skills across the school year. By administering summative Waypoints assessments, educators can understand areas of strength and growth for individual students and the class to make informed, data-driven decisions about instruction.
Formative Waypoints allow educators to monitor student growth of Wayfinder’s six Core Skills between summative assessments. By administering formative Waypoints assessments, educators can use data to adjust instruction and maximize student learning.
