Curriculum Compass

Curriculum Compass plots each visible student’s current position across the six ACE PACE subject tracks on a single pan and zoom canvas. Administrators, supervisors, and parents use it to see where a cohort or a child stands in the curriculum without opening individual PACE records. The feature only displays data. It has no inputs, no selectors, and no save actions anywhere in it.

​

What the canvas shows

Compass renders the 144 global PACE sets (set numbers 1001 to 1144, spanning 12 grade bands) as six horizontal tracks, one per subject:

• Math
• English
• Word Building
• Social Studies
• Science
• Literature & Creative Writing

Each track carries a row of set-number ticks. A subject-label column stays pinned to the left edge while the rest of the canvas pans and zooms, so you always know which track you are looking at. Zoom in, zoom out, and reset controls sit above the canvas for jumping between an overview of all 144 sets and a close look at a single grade band. Every visible student’s current in-progress PACE per subject appears as a marker on the matching track, positioned at that student’s current set. Course names that don’t match a set number directly (for example, “Algebra I” or “Biology”) are matched to the correct track through a fixed alias list. A course Compass cannot recognize is left off the map rather than plotted in the wrong place.

​

Who sees which students

Compass scopes the student list to your role. You never see students outside your own reach. Roles outside this list see no students on Compass. When a role’s cohort is empty, the page shows a plain message instead of a blank canvas, for example “No children found in your account” for a parent with no linked students, or “No students assigned to your centres” for a supervisor with no centre assignment yet.

​

Clicking a set

Clicking a set-number tick on any track opens a summary for that set. It shows the set number and grade level, then one row per subject track with:

• A short concept summary for that set
• A count of how many currently visible students sit at that set

The count reflects only the students already loaded in your scoped cohort, so an administrator and a supervisor looking at the same set number will usually see different counts.

​

Clicking a student

Clicking a student marker opens that student’s detail view, showing:

• The student’s name and the subject track you clicked
• Their current set number
• Pages done against total pages for that PACE, shown as a progress bar
• The student’s current set across all six subjects, for a full cross-subject snapshot
• A projected completion date for their current PACE, or a note that there isn’t enough data yet

​

Reading the projected completion date

The projection is based on how many pages a student has actually completed recently, not a fixed pace or a target date.
