Mission Control provides a real-time snapshot of student progress, helping you differentiate instruction by highlighting students on the path to subject mastery and those struggling with proficiency or stuck on a specific task.
Understanding the Dashboard
To make student progress actionable and easy to view, we use a color-coded scale for mastery and a 1-4 numerical range to show completed steps.
Progress (Where they are)
The Progress column shows you exactly where a student is within the defined agenda steps.
Step Indicators: Represented by a series of segments (e.g., Step 3).
Completion: As a student moves through the activity, these segments fill in to show how much of the lesson has been traversed.
Purpose: This helps you identify students who are "stuck" on a specific task or moving significantly faster than their peers.
Outcomes (What they know)
The Outcomes column uses a color-coded system to represent learning and mastery for specific targets — see at a glance whether a student is actually understanding the material as they progress.
The Mastery Scale
For activities that have specific learning outcomes or targets, Mission Control uses five colors and a 1-4 range to indicate a student's current standing:
Color | Level | What it means |
Blue | Above level | Performing above the set expectations or targets. |
Green | Proficient | Currently on track and hitting the target goals. |
Yellow | Developing | Progressing, but with gaps or needing some intervention. |
Red | Below level | Significantly behind or struggling with the material. |
Grey | Just started | Not started or not far enough along to be evaluated. |
Completed Steps
Numbers (1–4) represent steps the student has already finished. These allow you to see a student's growth trajectory at a glance:
Below level: The student finished this step with significant gaps.
Developing: The student finished with some understanding but lacked full mastery.
Proficient: The student successfully met the criteria for this step.
Above level: The student exceeded the criteria for this step.
You can see if a student is at Step 3 but only at a "Developing" (Yellow) mastery level. Quickly spot the "fast-but-lost" student (High Progress / Low Outcome) vs. the "slow-but-steady" student (Low Progress / High Outcome).
Total Learning Insights
On the right-hand side of your Mission Control you'll find Learning Insights. While the Progress and Outcome visuals give you the "what," these insights provide the "why."
These AI-generated notes highlight specific evidence of a student's reasoning—such as Rachel's ability to use "temperature clues for evaporation"—giving you the context needed for a 1-on-1 check-in.
