Happy Native American Heritage Month! We owe many of our education milestones to Native Americans—from mathematical principles to governmental models. While we're grateful all year round, we put a special emphasis on celebrating these contributions and the culture and heritage of Native Americans during the month of November.

A new Risk measure is now available on your Teacher Dashboard

Keep track of student performance with the Risk of Reading Difficulty pane. Calculated based on your students' month-over-month growth trajectory and performance data on the Curioso Skill Scan activity, this new feature will keep you informed.

Coming soon: Skill Scan Resets

Starting this month, you will have the ability to automatically reset your students’ monthly Skill Scan individually or in bulk. Detecting rushing or other anomalies, this important update will keep you notified of students who have been flagged for their performance and allow you to reset and reassign their Skill Scan.

New! Midyear (MOY) re-placement

Did you know that beginning in January 2022, students will have the opportunity to receive updated placement in Amplify Reading in the middle of the year? Re-placement will allow students to experience skill game content that is in line with their strengths and needs based on their most recent assessment results. Adjustments to placement will only be made for students whose scores demonstrate that they would benefit from an updated placement point. Learn more about what you can expect.

We're thankful for all that you do, today and everyday. Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Amplify!
