Teachers can use the View as Parent option to understand how a student's course activity, progress, and assessments appear to their parents or guardians. This perspective can help you prepare for parent-teacher meetings and improve communication with caregivers.
The Parents and Guardians View helps you:
- Understand how families see student performance and course activities.
- Prepare for conversations with parents and guardians.
- See only the course activities and progress for the selected student.
|
Note: You can only view information for one student at a time, and only in courses you can access. |
