Monitoring Student Progress
Viewing a Student's Full History
To see a comprehensive view of a student's performance, click on their name in the Class Detail page. This opens the student detail page, which shows every assignment they have completed along with their scores. This is your go-to view for understanding how a specific student is doing over time.
Understanding Score Trends
As you look at a student's assignment history, pay attention to the direction their scores are moving. There are three general patterns to watch for:
- Improving — Scores are trending upward over time. The student is learning and growing. Keep doing what you are doing.
- Stable — Scores are consistent across assignments. The student is maintaining their level. Consider introducing more challenging material if they are consistently scoring high, or more practice if they are plateaued at a lower level.
- Declining — Scores are dropping over time. This may indicate that the material is getting too difficult, the student is losing motivation, or external factors are affecting their work. This pattern warrants a conversation with the student.
Reviewing Individual Submissions
Click on any assignment in the student's history to see exactly which problems they got right and which they got wrong. This problem-level detail is invaluable for understanding where a student is struggling — not just that they scored low, but which specific types of problems are causing difficulty. For example, a student might score well on basic multiplication but consistently miss problems involving fractions.
Using Color Codes to Spot Patterns
Scores throughout the student detail page use the same color-coding as the rest of the platform: green for strong performance, yellow for adequate performance, and red for poor performance. A quick visual scan of the color pattern gives you an instant sense of whether the student is generally doing well or struggling.
Tip: Set aside time each week to review student progress, even if it is just a quick scan of the color patterns. Catching a declining trend early — after two or three assignments rather than ten — gives you the best chance to intervene before the student falls too far behind.
