Frequently asked

Where do the scores come from?
Every screener, quiz, assessment and reading check feeds the same profile, so the tracker reflects real attempts rather than time spent.
What is the next step?
The lowest secure strand sets the next teaching step, and the tracker links straight to the concept page that reteaches it.
Can a teacher see a whole class?
Yes — the teacher dashboard rolls every learner up into groups by gap.
