The Teacher Dashboard aggregates and displays data about student performance, progress, and teacher responsiveness. Access the Teacher Dashboard from your Home page.
Tips for using the Teacher Dashboard summaries:
- These summaries list an enrollment as Active for 14 days after the enrollment's end date, giving teachers time to finalize and return grades.
- These summaries are updated on a daily basis, so they do not reflect changes in real time.
- The status threshold defaults used in these summaries are set by Pearson Connexus and can be modified by your system admin: Setting up Teacher Dashboard Data
- If a submission has remained ungraded for over one year, it is no longer included in the Needs grading numbers listed.

The Performance summary card displays:
- Bar graphs comparing the number activities that you have Graded on each day against the number of activities that still Need Grading at the end of the day.
