School Passport Engagement breaks down all engaged time by website, app, program, subject area, and reading level organized by school, class, and student.

Educators can use Engagement to click the School Passport extension any time to find out the reading level of any article or web page. This can aid in curriculum development and assignment planning, regardless of subject. Teachers get helpful information on where and how student learning is happening, down to the student.
