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 Classroom, 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.

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.
