Encompass: Evaluation Guide
Welcome to Encompass
Build geographic literacy, background knowledge, and comprehension with short, active lessons that get students reading maps, graphs, charts, images, and informational text. Encompass is a K–5 mapping program designed for hands-on learning; it’s prep-light for teachers, engaging for students, and flexible enough to fit into social studies or ELA.
With Encompass, learning is experiential, tactile, and visual—supporting different learners while building skills that stick.
