New Moby offers enhanced features related to skills, which provide various benefits to teachers. Along with the ability to assign any skill from the MobyMax curriculum, teachers can also assign skills from a shared community of teachers or create and assign their own skills.
Prior to assigning skills, teachers can preview the scope and sequence of skills within a grade level. Once skills have been assigned, student progress can be easily tracked.
