Last Update 2 个月前

Overview

Class Groups in Classroom Hero help you organize your students into smaller teams for collaborative work, seating arrangements, or activity groups. This feature is perfect for managing table groups, project teams, or any other group-based activities in your classroom.

Accessing Groups

  1. Navigate to your class dashboard
  1. Click on the "Groups" tab in the class navigation menu
  1. You'll see a list of all existing groups and their members

Creating Groups

To Add a New Group:
  1. Click the "Add Group" button at the top of the Groups page
  1. Enter a group name (e.g., "Table Group 1", "Project Team A")
  1. Select students to add to the group
  1. Save your group

Group Features

Each group shows:
  • Group name
  • List of student members
  • Number of students in the group
  • Group performance metrics
For example, from the current view I can see:
  • Table Group 3 has 4 members (Cristina, Dom, Russ, Steve)
  • Table Group 4 has 6 members (Carley, Connor, Helen, Isaac, Mary, Tom)
  • Each group has an associated score or metric (shown as "3", "2", etc.)

Manage Existing Groups

  • View all groups in a list format
  • See member names at a glance
  • Track group performance
  • Modify group membership
  • Delete or archive groups when needed
  • Reward groups with quick rewards or use your actions you set up

Best Practices

Group Organization
  • Keep group sizes balanced (typically 4-6 students)

Tips For Teachers
