Exact Path
Exact Path is an EXCELLENT resource for students to practice their Reading, Writing, and Language skills. Exact Path lessons are based on students’ NWEA scores. In addition to classwork, Exact Path will give students the opportunity to practice the skills they need to reach their goals on NWEA in January.
Students can now access Exact Path through Clever from the district website by following a few simple steps.
- Go to https://dearbornschools.org/resources/students
- Click on CLEVER under “Useful Resources”
- Click on EDMENTUM COURSEWARE under “School Specific Links”
I also want students using Zearn for math. Zearn is great because it goes right along with our math.
