Press Release

[Houston, August 8, 2023] – Guided Compass, a leader in innovative education technology, is proud to announce that it has been awarded a 5-year contract with the esteemed Houston Independent School District (HISD). This milestone achievement comes after successfully undergoing HISD's rigorous Request for Proposal (RFP) process for College and Career Readiness Materials and Services, cementing Guided Compass as a resource for super powering administrators’ career readiness programs.


The Guided Compass platform utilizes cutting-edge ChatGPT and generative A.I. technology, coupled with its existing powerful functionality, to revolutionize the way students engage with learning and career development. The platform's highlights are set to transform education in HISD:


  1. Empowering Educators: With Guided Compass, educators have the ability to configure student access to A.I., gaining invaluable insights through reporting on its use. They can also craft scripted conversations that actively engage students in the learning process, fostering a personalized and dynamic educational experience.
  2. Streamlining Lesson Management: The platform enables educators to auto-generate lessons and efficiently auto-grade assignments, significantly reducing administrative burdens while enhancing instructional effectiveness.
  3. Breaking Barriers in Work-Based Learning: Guided Compass's A.I. can assume the role of a hiring manager, bypassing age barriers for Work-Based Learning (WBL), enabling students to explore and build entrepreneurial ventures with real-world experience.
  4. Personalized Career Planning: Students benefit from auto-generated resumes, career plans, business plans, and more, while also enjoying real-time translation and engagement with guardians on their progress.
  5. Comprehensive Course Offerings: Six prepackaged courses offering tens of hours of automated coursework are available, covering topics such as ChatGPT/Generative A.I., Career Awareness & Exploration, Career & Financial Planning, Career Preparation, Career Training & Advancement, and Entrepreneurship.

Guided Compass extends beyond being a learning management system; it seamlessly integrates with stakeholder engagement, case management, and all aspects of Work-Based Learning, making it a holistic and invaluable resource for educators and students alike. This allows programs to source internships, mentorships, projects, and other work-based learning opportunities into their community.


"We are thrilled to partner with the Houston Independent School District to bring the transformative power of Guided Compass to their students and educators," said Creighton Taylor, Founder & CEO at Guided Compass. "With our innovative platform, educators can personalize learning experiences, centralize resources, and increase engagement, ultimately leading to improved outcomes and increased funding opportunities."


Guided Compass aims to empower HISD schools with an enriched learning experience, enabling students to explore and cultivate their passions with the support of state-of-the-art technology. The platform's seamless transfer of student accounts to alumni accounts upon graduation will further encourage students to continue building upon their work and development.


As part of this partnership, Guided Compass will host monthly workshops to explore ChatGPT and generative A.I. use cases for HISD teachers, counselors, coordinators, and administrators. These workshops will also highlight how Guided Compass can enhance HISD schools and programs, emphasizing its benefits for school principals and CTE pathway administrators who can now purchase Guided Compass licenses at a new discounted rate.


Guided Compass is eager to embark on this transformative journey with the Houston Independent School District, and together, we are committed to shaping a brighter future for the students of HISD.
