FAQ
Does Waypoints provide lesson-plans?
No. Waypoints is not a lesson-plan warehouse. It is a curated library of primary sources paired with tutorials that deepen content knowledge and strengthen instruction. There are no student-facing lesson-plans; there are tutorials for teachers. For teachers, Waypoints is more like graduate school than a set of prepared lesson plans.
Who is the Home Plan for?
The Home Plan is ideal for individual learners and homeschooling families.
Who can access the Teacher Tutorials?
Organizer and Educator accounts can access the tutorials. Student accounts cannot.
What is Waypoints?
Waypoints is a digital platform for learning and teaching built around beautifully published Primary Source Documents and Teacher Tutorials that reinforce selected Key Ideas of Liberty.
What is included in the Home Plan?
The Home Plan is $199 per year and includes an Organizer account, up to two Educator accounts, and up to four Student accounts.
Can I purchase a Home Plan just for myself?
Yes. Many people use the Home Plan simply for their own access to the Library and Tutorials. If you are a lifelong learner, the Home Plan is for you.
Do I need to register or create an account after purchasing a Home Plan in order to access Waypoints content?
No. The purchase process automatically creates your Organizer account, which includes full access to all Waypoints content.
What is a Custom Plan?
A Custom Plan is for schools, organizations, or other users whose needs are not fully met by a Home Plan or an Academy Plan. It can include a tailored combination of Educator and Student accounts. Please contact us for a Custom Plan proposal.
What can students access?
Student accounts can access the Library of primary source documents.
If I am a teacher, may I use content from the Waypoints Teacher Tutorials in my classroom presentations?
Yes, please do! We encourage teachers to use Tutorial content, written or video, any way they find helpful.
What is the Academy Plan?
The Academy Plan is designed for schools, school districts, and other educational organizations.
How is Academy Plan pricing determined?
For schools and districts, pricing is based on student enrollment. For non-school organizations and businesses, pricing is based on membership or staff size.
How do we get started with an Academy Plan?
Please use the Contact Us page to discuss pricing, onboarding, and implementation.
What do Educators receive besides access to the Library?
Educators receive tutorials that illuminate the documents, deepen subject-matter knowledge, and support stronger classroom instruction.
What documents have been included in the Library?
You can go to the Waypoints Library and see the list of titles we have curated stretching across subjects such as American history, political thought, philosophy, economics, and citizenship.
Are all Library titles already available as fully published flipbooks?
Not yet. Additional titles are being prepared and published on a rolling basis. We will let members know when as more documents are published and uploaded to the Library.
Can Waypoints supplement an existing curriculum?
Yes. Waypoints is designed to enrich and elevate existing instruction, especially in history, civics, government, and related courses. A teacher does not need to abandon the textbooks, lesson plans, or other curricula materials that have been used for past instruction. Waypoints is designed as an add-on to the materials teachers have been using and assigning to students.
