Click on the links below for an overview and downloadable resources for each step in your program.
You will receive your students’ reports within six business days after we receive them. They can be delivered in four different ways:
- Electronic student reports sent through email to the school within 6 days of receipt.
- Electronic student reports expedited and sent to the school within 2 days of receipt.
- Printed paper student reports expedited and shipped directly to the school within 3 days of receipt.

If you used Cambridge’s online answer form, you will receive some of your reports immediately.
Cambridge’s several data packages are outlined below.
After you receive your reports, distribute the student reports to your students and review the teacher reports to identify your students’ strengths and weaknesses. If you would like to send a letter home to parents attached to their student’s reports, contact Cambridge Support staff at 847-299-2930.
For more information on how to read your reports, click PDFHERE.
In addition to reports, you should have also received custom lesson plans and a Cambridge Navigator packet. Your custom lesson plans are based on your course length and your students’ pre-test scores. They provide a breakdown of the content you should cover in each hour of class. Click on the link below to download your Navigator packet.
Navigator Packets
The Navigator includes an answer key and explanations for each item on your pre-test. Review the tests with your students as soon after administration as possible.

Now it’s time to teach! Cambridge resources are implemented in a variety of ways, from bell ringers to semester-long courses. The best courses have a few key ingredients, though: skill building and teaching test mechanics and strategies. So we’ve curated resources to help you do both of these things well. Each resource is explained in more detail below. Some of the resources are specific to your program, such as PowerPoints corresponding to your materials. You will find those by opening the “Program-Specific Resources” folder. Other resources that are helpful for every program are included in the other folders for all teachers to review and download.
Before you begin teaching your course, attend a session with a Cambridge trainer. We will walk you through your curriculum and give you teaching tips from long-time Cambridge teachers. We offer a FREE 30-minute virtual orientation and we also offer professional development sessions both on-site and virtually. Professional development sessions can be customized to meet your needs. If you have not scheduled an orientation, call us at (847) 299-2930. Whatever your situation this school year, we’ve got you covered.
ADMINISTRATOR NOTE: Cambridge course options include:
- Self service (your teachers teach the material)
- Full service (we provide a teacher who comes on site or teaches virtually)
- Self study (your students work at their own pace without a teacher)
No matter which course option you are following, review this section on teaching so you know what resources are available. If you have questions about your course implementation, call Cambridge at (847) 299-2930.
