New Teacher Dashboard Overview
Learn where key tools live in the teacher dashboard
Welcome to your new teacher dashboard. We've updated the experience to bring classes, students, grades, and progress tracking into one more connected workspace.
If things look a little different than you remember, that's expected. This article will help you quickly find common tools, understand what changed, and get back to teaching with confidence.
What changed in the new dashboard
The new dashboard organizes classroom management, student information, and reporting into connected workflows.
Some of the biggest changes include:
- Classes, students, and reporting are more closely connected.
- Grades can be accessed from within a class or from the Gradebook.
- Student details are available from student records.
- Common classroom tools are grouped together in the left navigation.
If you used the Classic experience last year, some familiar tools may now be located in different places.
Where to find your classes
Select My Classes from the left navigation to view and manage your classes.
From My Classes, you can:
- View active and archived classes
- Open a class
- Review course information

Where to find grades and progress
Teachers can review grades and progress in two ways.
Option 1: Grades & Progress
Use Grades & Progress when reviewing a specific class and course.
- Go to My Classes.
- Open the class you want to review.
- Locate the course.
- Select View Grades.
This view displays grades, progress, assessment scores, and certification status for students enrolled in that class.
Option 2: Gradebook
Use the Gradebook when reviewing student performance across multiple classes.
- Select Gradebook from the left navigation.
- Select a curriculum.
- Use filters such as:
- Class
- Certification Status
- School Year
- Review student performance or open student grade details.
The Gradebook provides a centralized reporting view across classes and student enrollments.
Where to find student information

From My Students, you can:
- Search for students
- View student details
- Review student progress
- Access course information
- Reset student passwords
Where to find detailed student progress
For more detailed information about an individual student:
- Go to My Students.

Student Details provides additional information beyond class-level reporting and can help you investigate a specific student's performance.

Why does the dashboard look different
The new dashboard is designed to bring classroom management, student information, and reporting together in one connected experience.
While some tools may be located in different places than they were previously, the same core workflows are still available.
Why don’t you show last names in the gradebook
We follow the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), which affects how student information is displayed.
To help distinguish between students, we recommend using usernames when needed.
How do I reset a student password
- Go to My Students
- Find the student who needs a new password
- Select the key icon in the Actions column
- Create and save a temporary password
- Share the temporary password with the student and have them sign in
To learn more, see: Resetting a Student’s Password.
Continued Improvements
We know that adjusting to a new layout can take time, especially when familiar tools move or new features are introduced.
Your feedback helps us understand what teachers need most and where we can continue improving the experience.
