Manage Classes

From the Dashboard, click 'Manage Classes' or select Classes from the dropdown menu in the upper right.

  1. Each class is listed with its type, class ID, teacher, class name, grade level, follow code / last session, and school year. The list can be sorted by any of these factors except the follow code.
  2. The list of classes can also be filtered by class type (i.e., the product or products the class is using).
  3. If a class status is set to Inactive or Archived, the terms "Inactive" or "Archived" will appear in parentheses beside the class name.
  4. You can search for a class by using the search bar.
  5. To view a class's assigned students and session history, click 'Details' in the Action column to open the Class Detail page.

All session history is preserved and viewable from the Class Detail page. Select a specific session by clicking the level number or binocular icon to view details including the level, date, start/end time, class attendance, and number of slides viewed for each session. You can view an individual student's profile by clicking their name.

From the Class Detail page, you can also edit the teacher or students for a class. Click 'Edit' in the Teachers box to remove a current teacher from a class or add a new teacher. Note that while removed teachers will no longer be able to see the class information, that information will still exist and be available to administrators or any new teachers added to the class. Click 'Edit' in the Students box to add new students or remove existing students. You may add any students created by any teacher in your group to any class. If a student is moved into a new teacher's class, the new teacher will gain access to historical data for that student.

As an administrator, also you have the ability to create classes and assign them to teacher, in addition to managing the classes created by the teachers. To do so, navigate to the Manage Classes main page and click 'Create Class.'

There are several fields you can edit while creating a class, but only those with red asterisks (*) are required.

1. *Class Name
Create a unique class name to differentiate from other classes.
2. Class ID
Optional field. Use if needed to keep track of the class ID as assigned by your school.
3. Teacher
Assign the class to an existing teacher. Once created, the teacher will be able to see and manage this class and the students in it.
4. *Class Type
Select which product(s) you will be using for this class.

 

Select Multi-Product Class if you plan to teach a class using multiple products (e.g., both Sonday System Essentials Digital and Sonday System 1 Digital).

 Note

Once you have selected Multi-Product Class as the Class Type, you cannot change the class back to a single-product class.

If you plan to teach a class using a single product, select that product (SS1, SS2, EK, E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, or VOC (WinVocab)).

5. *Roster Type
Select a type of roster for this class. The default Roster Type is Students, which is recommended to enable tracking of student information.

 

Select Students to enable tracking of session history, student attendance, and assessments.

Select List Only to enter students’ names only without enabling any student data tracking. Useful if you need to remember which students are in a class.

Select None to disable the ability to list any students in the class.

6. *Grade Level
Required field for Multi-Product and WinVocab classes, optional field for single-product classes. If you have WinVocab as an available product, a Multi-Product Class with the grade level selected will default to the vocabulary list for that grade.
7. *School Year
Required, but can be set to N/A if you prefer not to specify an academic year for a class.
8. *Class Color
This will help differentiate classes. Some teachers do this step first and then name the class according to the color they chose.
9. Schedule
Optional field. This information helps you easily keep track of your classes and appears in the Class Detail page for each class.

When you are finished, click 'Create Class Now.' An existing class can be edited by administrators and by any teachers the class is assigned to. For instructions on adding students to a class, see the Manage Students article.
