Improved navigation

This year, we’re rolling out a more user-friendly navigation experience with:

  • 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 dashboard for educators shows a welcome message, program options on the left, and three recommended unit planning resources with illustrations on the main section.

Noteworthy features

PD Library

You’ll find plenty of professional development (PD) resources in the new PD Library to ensure your Boost Reading Texas and Boost Lectura Texas implementation runs smoothly. The PD Library can be accessed by selecting the Programs & Apps menu in the top navigation bar when logged into Boost Reading Texas or Boost Lectura Texas.

Teacher Dashboard updates

During the 2024–25 school year, the following updates for Teacher Dashboard were released:

Closed Captioning is now a teacher-controlled feature that you can access from the Class Settings section of the Teacher Dashboard. This update alleviates any concerns of students accidentally toggling the closed captioning on/off during an assessment.

Limiting Curioso customization is a teacher-controlled feature you can also access from the Class Settings section of the Teacher Dashboard. This feature:

  • Gives you the ability to decide how much time your students can spend in customization (30, 60, 90, or 120 seconds).
  • Prevents students from going back in to customize their Curioso within the same logged-in session.
