Teacher: from assign to Reports to adjust
Example teacher weekly teaching workflow and success criteria.
Audience: Teachers · Applies to: SaaS / private
Goal: Run a week of teaching with “set defaults → assign → read Reports (including Export / curve tabs) → adjust again,” without filling forms from scratch every time.
Scenario example
At term start, set common scenario and practice-type defaults for the class → each Monday publish this week’s speaking work on main nav Tasks → Friday open Reports → Class for completion and performance; when needed switch to Trends / curve or Export / reports (Home shortcuts or Me → More also land on those tabs) → next week tweak defaults or add drills.
Textbook path example: Monday on Tasks choose Assign from textbook, pick a lesson from the pack and publish (optional lesson-prep adjustments) → students open the lesson page from Course / Speaking to-do, read materials, then speak → Friday check completion under Reports. Steps: Assign from textbook, Students learn textbook lessons.
Exam path example: On Tasks tap Assign speaking exam (or secondary Me → More → Speaking exam) → students take it from Speaking → Speaking exam exam to-dos → teacher drills down under Reports → Class. See Assign speaking exam.
Workflow steps
| Stage | What to do | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Confirm class has people | Sign in as teacher; check classes and status | First login and class overview |
| Less repeated form fill | Set class practice defaults | Class practice defaults |
| Publish practice tasks | Assign and publish on main nav Tasks | Assign speaking task · Assign from textbook |
| Publish exams (as needed) | Tasks → Assign speaking exam (Me → More secondary) | Assign speaking exam |
| Read learning status | Open main nav Reports → Class | View class report |
| Generate stage grades (as needed) | On Reports → Class, publish stage rules and generate the grade sheet | Stage grades: rules and generate |
| Trends / export | Reports tabs Trends / curve / Export / reports | Report curves · Academic reports |
| Sync outward (as needed) | Export grades or rosters | Export grades and rosters |
| Messages | Messages area under Me | Messages and notifications |
Suggested rhythm: assign Monday, spot-check midweek, read Reports Friday; change defaults heavily only at term start or when switching textbooks.
Success criteria
- Student Speaking → To-do (or matching sub-page) shows the task.
- After at least one student finishes, Reports opens with data.
- (As needed) exported report files work for reconciliation or academic ops.
Common blockers (who to ask)
| Symptom | Suggestion |
|---|---|
| Missing practice type when assigning | Org not open or platform pack off—ask Organization admin; boundaries: Roles and business boundaries |
| No students in the class | Ask Organization admin or academic admin to create/copy or import—see Classes and authorize teachers, Import users |
| Students cannot practice | Have them walk Student workflow first, then check the task is published |
