Welcome to our second MiCoachCompass newsletter of the school year! As we settle into the fall semester, we are excited to share key product updates, enhanced training resources, and upcoming opportunities to connect.

🌟 New Feature Release: Moving from Essentials to Topics 🌟 New Feature Release: Moving from Essentials to Topics

We’ve officially transitioned from Essentials to Topics!
  • Broader Activity Tracking: Topics allows coaches to capture a much wider spectrum of coaching activities and touchpoints beyond the original core framework.

  • Expanded Utility: This change opens up MiCoachCompass to a broader array of instructional coaches, specialists, and roles across your district.

You'll find these changes reflected when logging activities and cycles and when viewing reports.

🎓 Updated Training Course: More Video, Less Text 🎓 Updated Training Course: More Video, Less Text

To support the transition to topics, we have completely revamped our MiCoachCompass Training Course.

  • Adapted Content: All modules now reflect the new topics framework.

  • Video-First Format: We cut down on lengthy reading and added short, dynamic videos so you can get the information you need quickly.

Data quality starts with team alignment. We strongly encourage leadership teams and coaching staff to schedule internal calibration conversations this month.
  • Why it matters: Discussing how your team categorizes activities ensures everyone uses MiCoachCompass consistently, leading to cleaner, more actionable district data.

  • Where to find guidance: Step-by-step details and discussion prompts for running a calibration session are available directly inside the updated training course.
