Monitor groups are custom student groups based on shared needs, programs, or instructional goals. These dynamic groupings allow educators to filter data and track progress based on specific needs, such as students in RTI, special programs, or enrichment groups. This article discusses the options available on the Monitor Group screen. For more information about creating, editing, or removing groups, see Creating and Managing Monitor Groups.
Accessing Monitor Groups
To access your your monitor groups, select Monitor Groups from the Students section of the main menu.
Note: Any user with access to student data can create monitor groups. Users with the Create/Manage Monitor Groups right can view all monitor groups and delete monitor groups.
