Why Teachers Use the Progress Tab
The Progress Tab helps teachers:
quickly identify students who need support
monitor standards mastery across the class
adjust pacing and instruction
celebrate student growth and achievement
make more informed instructional decisions
Because the data updates based on recent student work, teachers can respond to learning needs in real time.
Select a Class and View
Open the Progress tab and select a class.
Teachers can switch between:
This Year → current school-year progress
Historic → previous school-year performance
Historic is great for spotting gaps in prior knowledge or reviewing students who might need a refresher before moving forward.
Review the Standard Completion Graph
At the top of the page, the Standard Completion Graph provides a quick overview of progress across standards.
The graph includes:
a solid line showing overall class mastery
a dotted line showing individual student progress
Teachers can use this graph to:
monitor pacing
identify standards needing additional instruction
compare individual progress to class trends
Explore the Progress Matrix
Below the graph, the Progress Matrix provides a more detailed breakdown of performance by standard and skill.
Teachers can:
filter by domain or topic area
focus on individual students
review skill-level performance
identify patterns and learning gaps
Hovering over cells provides additional details about student progress and mastery.
Explore Common Misconceptions
The Progress Tab can help teachers move beyond identifying which standards students are struggling with to understanding why they may be struggling.
When enough incorrect responses include student work on the canvas, teachers can click a standard in the Progress Matrix to open a side panel with more information.
The panel includes:
the most common misconception identified for that standard
example student solutions that demonstrate the misconception
the problems those solutions came from
A misconception may reflect patterns across student work from multiple problems, helping teachers identify common errors without reviewing every response individually.
How to Use It
Open the Progress tab and select a class.
Find a standard in the Progress Matrix that you want to explore.
Click the standard to open the side panel.
Review the most common misconception.
Look through the example student solutions and the problems they came from.
Use these patterns to inform reteaching, small-group instruction, or targeted practice.
Tip: If a standard shows lower mastery, reviewing the misconception can help you determine what students may be misunderstanding before deciding on the next instructional step.
Why Some Areas May Still Appear Red
Sometimes assignment results may look strong while the Progress Tab still shows lower mastery for a standard.
This can happen because:
assignments often assess only a few skills
standards may include multiple underlying skills
students may not yet show consistent success across recent attempts
The Progress Tab is designed to reflect broader mastery over time, not just isolated assignment success.
Red areas are intended to highlight opportunities for support and growth, not simply indicate failure.
Using Progress Data to Guide Instruction
Teachers commonly use the Progress Tab to:
identify standards needing reteaching
adjust pacing
create intervention groups
assign targeted practice
monitor student growth over time
plan enrichment for advanced students
By combining the Standard Completion Graph with the Progress Matrix, teachers can view both class-wide trends and individual student needs in one place.
The Progress Tab helps turn student data into actionable instructional decisions.
