Adaptive Tutor Teacher Guide

For Teachers And Administrators

See what students need and turn it into a useful next step.

Connect with learners, assign reading and curriculum work, review submissions, and use progress patterns to plan timely support—all without mixing teacher work with private family records.

1. Student Connections

You only see learners who have connected with you.

The learner starts the connection

A student requests a teacher from their account. You must accept before their teacher-shared work becomes visible.

Review requests carefully

Open the Teacher workspace, confirm the learner, and accept only relationships you are authorized to hold.

Remove a connection when needed

Revoke the relationship when you no longer teach the learner or no longer need access.

2. Teacher Dashboard

Start with the work that needs attention.

A

Choose a learner

Review current progress, reading, assignments, and recent activity for a connected student.

B

Open the review inbox

Filter work that is awaiting review, overdue, in progress, completed, or needs revision.

C

Handle related work together

Select several assignments when the same review or archive action applies.

Privacy boundary: Private guardian summaries and family-owned homeschool records are not shown in the teacher workspace. Teachers see only information permitted by the learner relationship and their role.

3. Assignments

Assign the right work to one learner or a group.

Choose who receives it

Select one student, several students, all connected learners, a class, a roster, a subgroup, or a grade band.

Choose the work

Assign a book, a reading section, a curriculum activity, or a tutoring topic.

Set clear expectations

Add release and due dates, teacher notes, and the evidence you expect students to submit.

Reuse what works

Copy a previous assignment, adjust it, and send it to a new learner or group.

4. Review And Revision

Give feedback a student can act on.

Be specific

Record what the learner should keep doing, what needs revision, and the next step.

Use a consistent rubric

Score comprehension, evidence quality, accuracy, and clarity when those criteria fit the assignment.

Keep the conversation

Add follow-up comments without replacing earlier feedback.

Review the complete history

Compare the latest submission with prior work and see how the learner responded to feedback.

5. Progress Insights

Use patterns to decide what to do next.

  • Find overdue work and assignments waiting for review.
  • Notice students who are revising repeatedly or reporting low confidence.
  • See where reading, tutoring, and assignment evidence point to the same need.
  • Look for class-wide patterns that may call for a new explanation or small-group practice.

6. Targeted Support

Turn a concern into a focused learning activity.

Reading support

Connect a weak reading response to an explanation, practice activity, or related resource.

Adaptive skill check

Use a short skill check when the learner may need a prerequisite reviewed before continuing.

Overdue re-entry

Create a shorter, clearer follow-up that helps a student restart instead of simply repeating the missed work.

Revision conference

Focus the next assignment on better evidence and a direct response to earlier feedback.

7. Curriculum And Standards

Every learner may choose the learning map that fits.

State standards

Use the learner's state as a suggested starting point, or choose any other available state standards library.

Common Core

Choose Common Core Math and English language arts when that curriculum best fits the learner's goals.

Adaptive Tutor general curriculum

Choose broad K–12 through introductory-college coverage, including Science, Social Studies, and Computer Science.

State references are possible matches for educator review; they do not automatically decide placement, grades, mastery, or curriculum approval. Read more about curriculum choices and sources.

8. Administrator Tasks

Keep access, curriculum, and tutoring choices organized.

Invitations and access

Create invitations only after confirming the school, guardian, or platform authority. Revoke access that is no longer needed.

AI tutoring choices

Select only from the approved tutoring options shown in the administrator workspace.

Curriculum review

Review proposed curriculum changes before applying them and keep the decision with the exact draft you reviewed.

Service and privacy tools

Review service status and use authorized privacy, export, and account-management workflows when needed.

9. Common Questions

Quick answers for classroom use.

Do students always need long written answers?

No. Some activities use multiple choice or voice input, depending on the learner and task.

Can a learner choose standards from another state?

Yes. Location only suggests a starting point. Any user may select any available state library, Common Core, or the general curriculum.

Can a teacher change a learner's learning map?

Not silently. The learner controls the saved learning-map choice. Authorized teachers can review work, guide the next activity, and use the separate reasoned mastery-review tools without replacing that choice.

Do teacher tools appear for every student?

No. Teacher assignments and feedback appear only after the relevant relationship and work exist.

Can access be removed later?

Yes. Authorized administrators can revoke active codes or grants, and teachers can remove student connections.
