Teacher Dashboard

Navigate your roster, status indicators, and class views.

⏱️ 6 min read · 📚 For Teachers · 📅 Updated April 2026

Overview

The teacher dashboard is built around your roster. Most actions you take during a teaching day — recording sessions, reviewing analysis, updating lessons — start from here.

Dashboard layout

  • Roster panel — every student you teach, with quick status indicators.
  • Activity feed — recent records, pending reviews, and notes.
  • Quick actions — record a session, add a student, open analysis.

Status indicators on the roster

IndicatorMeaning
Green dotLogged a record in the last 24 hours.
Yellow dot1–3 days without a record.
Red dot4+ days without a record.
"⚠️ Mistakes"Recent records show a noticeable spike in mistakes.

Filtering and grouping

The roster supports:

  • Filtering by class, program, or status.
  • Sorting by name, last activity, or mistake density.
  • Searching by name, parent name, or ID.

Adding or recording on a student

  • Click a student to open their profile, where you can record sessions and view analysis.
  • Right-click (or use the menu) for shortcuts: record a session, leave a note, mark attendance.

Working with classes

If your organization uses classes, you can switch the roster to a class view where each row is a student in that class. From here you can:

  • Record progress for the whole class in one place.
  • Mark attendance.
  • Compare students against each other on key metrics.

Customizing your dashboard

From Settings → Dashboard, you can:

  • Hide columns you don't use (e.g., parent contact, last note).
  • Switch between compact and comfortable density.
  • Pick which classes appear in the default view.
