Navigator in action
How Navigator works
The guided Kid Talk protocol
- Review student insights from both screeners together.
- Identify a student or focus area of shared need.
- Look for patterns and group intervention opportunities.
- Select an intervention that best fits student needs.
- Assign a Champion to lead it and support follow-through.
- Set a goal and success indicator.
- Document the plan with key details and next steps.
Navigator records each step and the team’s decisions, not the conversation itself.
The 4–6 week intervention cycle
Week 1
Launch the intervention or lesson series and confirm the goal.
Weeks 2–4
Weekly tasks, reminders and materials for the Champion, plus a progress review.
Weeks 5–6
Reassess, then close the cycle or extend it as needed.
Stay on top of every cycle. See each cycle’s week, Champion, students and task progress.
Know what’s working. Track interventions and student outcomes over time.
Protects student information
Student information is used only to support school-based decisions. It is available only to authorized users and follows school and district privacy requirements.
Built with schools, not just for them
Navigator is piloting with schools this school year and goes network-wide in 2027–28. Want your 9th Grade Success Team to join the pilot? Let your CHSS Coach know.
