No export button. There is no PDF progress report, no CSV export of a class, and no report-card template. Progress lives in the app, in a parent's view and in two emails. If you need paper for a conference, you build it from what you see on screen.
What you can see as the teacher
The dashboard
Your landing view answers "who needs me today": students who need help, skill packs waiting for your review, parent messages, and who mastered skills this week. You also receive a short daily summary email, and it stays quiet. It is sent when something has changed, not every day regardless.
The Students grid
One row per student, one column per skill. Each cell holds a state: Struggling, Developing, Approaching or Mastered, plus Not started. Open a student and you get their skill-by-skill detail, including the mastery score for each skill. From there you can also set a Learning Support, or Override a state.
Heatmap, gaps and suggestions
The grade book area has a mastery heatmap, a gap analysis showing which skills the class collectively has not secured, and a recommendations view that suggests what to reteach. These are views over the same data, not separate reports.
What a parent sees
You issue an invite code for a student, and the parent signs up with it. A parent sees only their own child. They get the child's progress by skill, can message you from inside the portal, and receive a weekly email summary. That email is skipped for any week the child did no practice, so a quiet week produces no message at all. For the full picture, read about the parent portal and how to invite parents.
Reading the numbers without fooling yourself
- Overall mastery is not a grade. The headline figure averages every published skill in the course, and a skill the student has not attempted counts as zero. Early in a unit it will look low for everyone. Look at the states, not the average.
- The data is from app practice only. Multiple-choice answers in ClassSense. Paper work, discussion, labs and writing are invisible to it.
- A few answers are thin evidence. A skill with two attempts can show Struggling or Developing from almost nothing.
- Your override wins. If you know better, change the state and give a reason. It is recorded.
Making something you can hand over
Decide what the reader needs
A parent wants three things: what is going well, what is next, what they can do. A skill-by-skill table is too much.
Pull from the student's page
Open the student, note the skills at Mastered and the two or three still at Developing or Struggling.
Write it in your words
A short paragraph from you reads better than a data dump and takes under five minutes per student.
Or just show the screen
For a conference, the parent portal or your own screen is often enough, and nothing needs printing.
What is missing, plainly
- Printable or PDF progress reports, and report-card templates.
- Exporting scores for a whole class.
- A sync to your school's gradebook. Official grades are entered by hand, wherever your school keeps them.
- Progress grouped by standard. See standards and learning targets.
If your school asks for records, you can request a data export for your account, which is a copy of stored data, not a formatted report. Use mastery to inform what you write, and let the grade itself come from you; the page on mastery-based grading goes through that. For reading the grid day to day, see how to read mastery data.
Common questions
Can I print a progress report from ClassSense?
There is no printable or exportable progress report. You can read progress on the dashboard and the Students grid, and write up what a parent or administrator needs yourself.
What do parents see?
A parent linked to their own child sees that child's progress, can message the teacher inside the portal, and gets a weekly email. They cannot see other students.
Does the weekly parent email send even when nothing happened?
No. If a child did no practice that week, the email is skipped.
Does ClassSense put grades in my school gradebook?
No. There is no gradebook sync, so grades are entered by hand.
