Virtual Job Shadow is the former name of Pathful Explore, the career-exploration component of Pathful's career-readiness platform. It helps students connect interests, values, skills, personality, and lifestyle preferences with career possibilities, then learn about those occupations through profiles, labor-market data, interviews, and job-shadow videos featuring working professionals.

Pathful has expanded beyond its original video library into a broader set of planning, employability, work-based learning, and program-management tools. Districts can use the platform to organize career-readiness activities, course and postsecondary plans, local opportunities, student artifacts, and compliance reporting while integrating SIS, rostering, and SSO services.

RethinkEd Vizzle is RethinkEd’s visual learning and special-education curriculum platform. It is intended primarily for students with autism and other significant learning needs who benefit from highly visual, scaffolded instruction, with special educators, related-service providers, paraprofessionals, students, and case managers using it to support academic, functional, social, communication, and individualized skill instruction.

Educators assign standards-aligned visual lessons and activities, adapt materials, collect performance information, and connect instruction to individualized goals. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

Waggle is HMH’s adaptive supplemental practice platform for mathematics and ELA. It is intended primarily for elementary and middle-grade learners practicing mathematics and ELA, with students, classroom teachers, interventionists, and administrators using it to support adaptive practice, skill reinforcement, formative information, and motivation.

Students complete personalized practice and receive feedback while teachers assign content and review skill-level performance. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

Words Their Way is Savvas’s developmental spelling, phonics, and vocabulary program. It is intended primarily for elementary and middle-grade readers and spellers, with students, teachers, reading specialists, and interventionists using it to support phonics, spelling patterns, vocabulary, morphology, and differentiated word study.

Educators use spelling inventories to group learners and assign word sorts, pattern study, vocabulary, and transfer activities. Districts should evaluate how the product fits adopted curriculum, student needs, instructional time, and the work educators must do around it.

Writing by Design / Grading by Design is a K–8 writing curriculum and related assessment/grading approach. It is designed primarily for elementary and middle-grade writers, with classroom teachers, instructional coaches, and students using it to support writing process, genres, conventions, revision, feedback, and common expectations.

Teachers use modeled lessons, shared language, rubrics, student practice, conferencing, and feedback to develop writing across genres. The product should be evaluated for the specific learners, instructional setting, and intensity of support a district intends—not simply as another source of digital activities.

Xello is a K–12 college and career readiness platform that guides students from early self-discovery through career and postsecondary exploration, academic planning, work-based learning, and college applications. Students build a persistent profile of interests, skills, goals, experiences, portfolios, and plans while completing age-appropriate lessons and district-assigned readiness tasks.

Counselors and administrators use Xello to monitor completion, manage four-year plans, coordinate application documents, communicate with students, and report on district readiness requirements. The platform connects with SIS products, SSO and rostering services, Common App, Parchment, National Student Clearinghouse, and other partners so planning work can use current student data and feed real application processes.

YouScience Brightpath combines tools for aptitude and career discovery, industry certifications and work-based learning.

The modules licensed and the way results are used vary by district.

Zoom Workplace is a communication and collaboration platform for video meetings, webinars, team chat, phone, rooms, whiteboards, scheduling, clips, and related workplace services. Districts use it for virtual instruction, staff meetings, professional learning, family events, interviews, and public presentations.

Zoom Workplace for Education offers education-oriented packaging and account administration. Meetings, webinars, phone, rooms, recording, and AI capabilities depend on the contracted plan, add-ons, administrator settings, and applicable eligibility requirements; they are not all included in every education account.
