Teacher's Guide to Filtering Students

For a number of reasons teachers may find it helpful to monitor or change settings for a subgroup of their entire student population. Filters may be used to select such a subgroup. Teachers can filter their students by class, grade level or tags. More than one filter may be applied at the same time. For example, a teacher may be using a tagging system and would like to isolate all their 4th grade students with a specific tag.

All students are required to have an assigned class but grades and tags are optional. Filtering by grade or tag won't yield any results if students have not been assigned those data points.

Steps for filtering students:

1. Start on the Students tab.
2. You may use either the Informative or the Performance view.
3. Make selections from the Classes, Grades and/or Tags dropdown menus. The results are displayed automatically.

The number of students selected by filtering is shown in the top left corner. In the example below four students met the filtering criteria of 4th grade and the tag 'Bright Minds'.

To remove the filters and display all students change the three filtering options to display 'All Classes', 'All Grades' and 'All Tags'. Again, as the filters are changed the students displayed changes automatically.
