Create a Classroom

What Is a classroom?​

A classroom represents a group of students organized for instructional or assessment purposes. Classrooms help you manage rosters, assign assessments, and track student progress.

note

If you’ve previously created classrooms in a companion curriculum Campfire, they will automatically appear in the assessment platform—no need to recreate them.

Create a Classroom​

Click the +Classroom button to create your first classroom. To add other classrooms, click +Add New Classroom.

Select Classroom Type​

You can create your classroom in one of a few ways ways:

  • Create Classroom Manually: Set up your classroom from scratch. This option is not connected to an LMS, so you’ll need to manually roster students by entering their names or uploading a CSV file.
  • Google Classroom Integration: Connect to your Google Classroom account. This option automatically imports your student roster and enables you to post assignments directly to your Google Classroom.
tip

If you're creating a classroom from another supported LMS, you'll see additional options to select your LMS platform during setup. These options may include automated rostering and syncing features.

Create a Classroom Manually​

Enter Classroom Details​

Enter the details that define your classroom’s structure and identity.

  • Subject: Choose the subject (e.g., Math, Science).
  • Grade: Select the appropriate grade level.
  • Course: Pick the course aligned with your curriculum (e.g., 4th Grade Math).
  • Classroom Name: Enter a name that will help you and your students recognize the class (e.g., “Ms. Johnson’s 4th Grade Math”).
  • Room Number (optional): Add if you want to associate a physical location.
  • Section Number (optional): Use this to distinguish between multiple sections of the same course.

Click Create Classroom to generate your new class.

Select Your Starting Unit​

When you first enter your newly created classroom, you’ll be prompted to select the unit you want to begin with.

  • Browse the list of available units for your course.
  • Click Start on the unit you want to start teaching.

You can change or add units later from the Settings next to Unit Details.

Classroom Details​

Under the Classroom tab, you have access to several tabs that help you manage, assign, and track student learning.

  • Overview: View cumulative data across all assessments assigned in this classroom. This includes performance trends, participation, and mastery insights—regardless of unit.
  • Assignments: See a full list of all activities assigned to this classroom.
  • Roster: Add or manage students in your classroom. You can:
    • Click to add students one by one.
    • Upload a CSV file to roster students in bulk.
  • Standards Mastery: Access a comprehensive view of standards-aligned performance across the lifetime of assessments in this classroom. This section helps track long-term learning progress.

Unit Details​

Under the Unit Details tab, you’ll find a list of all available units for the selected course.

  • Click on any unit to view:
    • A summary of the unit content.
    • Any assessments tied to that unit.
    • Classroom-level data specifically filtered for that unit’s assessments and student performance.

This view helps you focus on targeted instruction and progress within each instructional unit.

Tips for Managing Classrooms​

  • Archiving Classrooms: At the end of a term or school year, you can archive classrooms to keep your dashboard organized.
  • Reactivating Archived Classrooms: Archived classrooms can be reactivated if needed by accessing the Archived section and selecting Reactivate.
