Where Are My Students?

I had a great question yesterday from a teacher in Connecticut. She noticed that several of her students appeared on her Class Count Report but not on her Class Progress Grid. (The Class Progress Grid is the little box next to each course name on the left side of your teacher home page. This grid shows you the progress/grades for each student in that course.) So where had her students gone?

The Class Progress Grid only lists students who have made some progress in a course. If a student has been enrolled in a course, but has not yet started to work, his/her name will not appear on the Class Progress Grid. Once he/she starts to work on a course, his/her name will automatically appear on the Class Progress Grid. In fact, even if he/she has answered only one question in a unit, his/her name will appear on the Class Progress Grid.

So don't panic if your students do not appear on your Class Progress Grid. If you want to double-check, you can click the student's name from the "Your Students" list. If all of the units within a course are still color-coded white, then the student hasn't yet touched the course.

Thanks again to the VLA teachers who have submitted questions, tips, and tricks to be shared!
