Wayfinder

Happy to share a major expansion of our tools for school counseling!

The new tools give school and district support staff a single place to manage caseloads, access assessments, and find curriculum for timely student support and intervention.

“Wayfinder has made it easy to collect pre- and post-data, which helps in intervention planning and goal setting for my students,” reports school counselor Najaé Williams, MEd, PPSC, from KIPP Ignite in Los Angeles. “I can track their progress over time and see week-to-week stats to see if another area needs to be addressed or spent more time on.”

Wayfinder Expands School Counseling Tools Wayfinder's expanded MTSS offerings help school counselors plan interventions, manage caseloads, and support student well-being—all in one place.

You're with students every day. You're already seeing how AI is changing the way they learn, work, and think about their futures.

Wayfinder sat down with three industry experts from Google, Uber, and the EdSAFE AI Alliance to explore what it really means to lead well in an AI world—at every level.

In the insight guide for educators from global AI leaders:
➡️ Why some tasks should never be delegated to AI
➡️ The human skills no technology can replace
➡️ How to protect the productive struggle that builds real skills
➡️ How to build a community-wide AI plan without going it alone

Human connection is the missing piece to AI + screentime conversations.

Belonging, purpose, and human connection are the foundation for learning and success. AI can't replicate them. Screens can't replace them.

Wayfinder can help you build that foundation. Download our K-12 Belonging Checklist for games and activities that keep students present, strengthen relationships, and build the human skills that matter most in school and beyond.

What if we viewed student disengagement as a message to us? 💬

That's the reframe Dr. Rebecca Winthrop, senior fellow at The Brookings Institution, brought to a recent conversation with our Chief Customer Officer, Brandy Arnold. Dr. Winthrop's research (and her co-authored book, The Disengaged Teen) identifies four modes students operate in:

→ Resistor: Running the other way. Behavior that looks disruptive is often a way of saying, “I don't feel seen.”
→ Passenger: Present and compliant, but not really driving their own learning.
→ Achiever: High grades—but optimizing for the grade, not for growth or understanding.
→ Explorer: In it for the learning. Resilient, curious, and building skills that will matter in an age of AI.
