Navigating the Teacher Homepage

The Teacher Homepage serves as your starting point for each day. It's meant to give you high level information at a glance about your students and the skills they are assigned, as well as skill assignment suggestions and more. Information on this page begins to populate once students complete their Initial Diagnostic.


How do I look at a specific class on the Teacher Homepage?

By default, when you log in you will be directed to the Teacher Homepage and it will display a snapshot of information for all of your classes. If you have multiple classes, you can drill down and focus on a specific class by selecting it from the drop-down on the left. You can also search for a specific class using the Search button to the right of the Classes dropdown. Within this search tool, you have the option to filter by the class name, teacher, grade, section, location, tags, or status. You may also clear filters to restart the search. The left navigation panel is also collapsible, using the arrow icon at the top.

Once you have selected a class, you’ll see the header change and new information added, such as Class Details and Class Invitation. The widgets in the center and right of the page will also update to include students in the selected class only. Class Details and Class Invitation will populate on the left side of the screen, right under the Navigation menu.

Class Details displays information about the class chosen. You can edit the class information from this widget by clicking the pencil icon.

Class Invitation displays the class code that should be shared with your students or co-teachers when they are joining the class for the first time. For more information on how to use the class code, check out Inviting Students and How Do I Add Teachers to a Class?
