Exciting updates for Amplify CKLA and Amplify Caminos

Big things are coming next school year! Amplify CKLA and Amplify Caminos are introducing new enhancements to save you time, extend your impact, and support you in delivering the dynamic learning experiences your students deserve.

Updates

Improved navigation

We’re rolling out a more user-friendly navigation experience this school year, featuring:

  • An accessible sidebar menu for quick access to key educator resources within sections like Content, PD Library, and Apps.
  • A new Apps menu organized by subject.
A digital dashboard interface displays a sidebar with user info, program options, a recommendation section, and a stream of upcoming classroom activities with thumbnails and action buttons.

Free content for you to explore

Explore a growing library of free math, science, and literacy content using the Discover button. You can even assign these activities to students through the digital platform, giving them more ways than ever to explore, engage, and learn!

Insights and recommendations for Boost Reading users

If you use Boost Reading with Amplify CKLA, you’ll now have access to insights and recommendations based on your students’ Boost Reading performance. These quick, targeted suggestions help you reinforce learning to fill gaps and seamlessly strengthen core instruction.

Grade 3 Skills

Starting this school year, all Amplify CKLA 2nd Edition teachers will have digital access to our new Grade 3 Skills flexible resource, which reinforces and builds on the K–2 Skills Strand. You can use these extra lessons to support core instruction or serve as an intervention, depending on your students’ needs. Instruction follows a familiar sequence and can be taught flexibly, in two 15-minute sessions or one 30-minute session.

*Grade 3 Skills will also be available in print for additional purchase.

Noteworthy features

PD Library

You’ll find helpful professional development (PD) resources in the PD Library to ensure your Amplify CKLA and Caminos implementation runs smoothly. The PD Library can be accessed through the Programs & Apps menu in the top navigation bar when you’re logged in to Amplify.

Throughout the school year, teachers can share the Amplify CKLA and Amplify Caminos Caregiver Hubs with students’ caregivers. These sites provide curriculum details, an overview of what caregivers can expect throughout the school year, and resources they can use with students at home.
