TeachSuite Administrators can create student profiles and add student information into the system. Administrators can then select a student for class placement or grading. |

TeachSuite Administrators define classes by choosing from state, district, or custom defined standards. Classes are then populated with students from the student body. Finally, teachers are assigned to their respective classes. Students can be assigned to multiple classes that have different standards and different teachers. Each teacher will grade the student on the curriculum defined for that particular class. TeachSuite will then gather all of the grades for each student in order to generate a report card. |
