Stories, adventures, AI activities, and character tracking — ready for every grade level
273+ stories organized by 5 character pillars (Respect, Responsibility, Compassion, Integrity, Courage), 8 cultural traditions, and grade level. Search, filter, and assign to any class.
391 branching narratives where students face moral dilemmas and make choices. Each path leads to different outcomes and character-building lessons. Fully illustrated with AI-generated scenes.
51 traditions spanning multiple world cultures — stories rooted in real heritage, folk wisdom, and community values. Aligned to diversity and inclusion goals.
Compass Activities use AI to generate personalized remediation for each student. Select a class, choose question types (multiple choice, true/false, fill-in-blank, short answer), and deploy to all students or selected individuals.
Every story includes text-to-speech with adjustable volume, brightness controls, and audio playback. ADA/504 compliant. ELL students can listen in multiple languages.
Student choices in adventures build a character profile over time. Teachers see which pillars each student gravitates toward and where intervention might help. Data feeds into the student record.
Designed for 20-30 minute advisory periods. Teachers browse, assign, and track completion without leaving the Cortex workspace. Auto-scheduled via curriculum calendar.
Schools choose which cultural traditions and pillars to emphasize. District administrators can curate content libraries to align with local values and board priorities.
Generate reports showing character education delivery by class, grade, and campus. Useful for TEA compliance, accreditation, and board presentations. Exportable to PDF.
Inside Cortex, the Compass tab shows the full story library with filters for pillar, grade, tradition, and story type. Browse 273+ stories and 391 adventures.
Select a story or adventure and assign it to the advisory class. Students receive the assignment on their StudentDesk with a notification. Can be auto-scheduled for recurring advisory periods.
Students read (or listen to) the story in an immersive full-screen experience with illustrated backgrounds. In adventures, they make choices at each crossroads — each path explores different values.
After the story, Compass Activities generates personalized comprehension and reflection questions based on the student’s reading. Multiple question types, hints toggle, and class-wide or individual targeting.
Every choice and response contributes to the student’s character profile. Teachers and counselors see patterns across pillars, identify students who may benefit from mentoring, and track growth over time.
