Updated 20 October 2026 Every student in a classroom has a progress profile. It brings their accuracy, engagement, the feedback they’ve received and what they’ve said about their own learning together on one page, across every session in that classroom. **When to use it:** Before parent-teacher interviews (parents’ evening, or a parent-teacher meeting), when you’re writing reports, or when a student has gone quiet and you want to know whether they’re struggling. ## Open a student’s profile 1. Open the classroom from **Classrooms** in the side menu. 2. Go to the **Students** tab. 3. Select the student’s name. ![A classroom's Students tab, listing each student with how many sessions they attended, two added students marked Not joined yet, and the Teachers panel beside the list](https://www.gonurture.com/images/tutorials/following-a-students-progress/students-tab.webp) Their profile opens. Choose **All students** at the top to go back to the list. A student you added to the classroom who hasn’t joined a session yet is marked **Not joined yet**. Their profile fills in once they join. ## What’s on a profile The top of the profile shows the student’s name, their email if Signal knows it, and when they first and last joined. Under that is the **Parents** panel, where the classroom’s owner can let a parent follow the student, read only. Four figures sit across the top: - **Attended:** how many of the classroom’s sessions they joined, for example 4/6. - **Correct:** the share of their graded answers they got fully right. - **Engagement:** where their engagement usually sits. - **Feedback:** how many pieces of feedback they’ve received. ![A student's progress profile, with their name and join dates, the Parents panel, and the Attended, Correct, Engagement and Feedback figures above the Understanding section](https://www.gonurture.com/images/tutorials/following-a-students-progress/student-profile.webp) ### Understanding This section appears once the student has joined at least one live quiz or Assessment. - **Answered correctly** shows their accuracy, with how many graded answers it’s based on. - **Their accuracy by session** charts it over time, once two or more sessions have graded answers. - **Questions to go back over** lists up to five recent questions they didn’t get right first time, marked **Incorrect** or **Somewhat** (partly right). Each one shows the question, the session it came from, and what the student wrote: the reason they gave, or their answer to an open question. That’s where you see the thinking behind the mistake. ![Questions to go back over on a student's profile, listing three questions marked Incorrect with the reason the student gave for two of them, above the Engagement section](https://www.gonurture.com/images/tutorials/following-a-students-progress/questions-to-go-back-over.webp) **What counts towards accuracy:** - Only questions with a correct answer that the student answered. Polls never count. - Getting some, but not all, of a multiple-answer question right counts as partly correct, not correct. - Open answers count once they’ve been marked against your success criteria: all criteria met counts as correct, some as partly correct, none as incorrect. Open answers without criteria, or not yet marked, don’t count. - Correct answers flagged as potential guesses count in full here. Only the recommendation on a single question counts them as half (see [why a correct guessed answer counts as half](https://www.gonurture.com/tutorials/signal/troubleshooting/why-does-a-correct-guessed-answer-count-as-half.md)). ### Engagement This section appears once the student has joined at least one Engage session. It averages the engagement reactions they’ve shared and places them in a band: **Active Engagement**, **Passive Engagement**, **Passive Disengagement** or **Active Disengagement**. With two or more sessions, **Their engagement by session** shows how it’s changing. **How their reactions spread across the spectrum** shows whether they’re consistent or up and down. Reactions in quiz sessions aren’t included. ### Feedback received Every piece of feedback on the student’s answers: AI feedback, and replies from you or a co-teacher. ### In their own words What the student has said about their own learning: their confidence at the end of a quiz, their reflections, and the comments and questions they’ve posted. It only appears once there’s something to show. ### Sessions attended Every session they joined in this classroom, most recent first, with how they did in each. Select a session to open it. ## See every student on the Students page **Students** in the side menu lists everyone who has joined your sessions, across all your classrooms, including sessions you co-teach. - Search by name or email. - Filter by classroom, or choose **Not in a classroom**. - Sort by **Name**, **Recently active** or **Most sessions**. Select a student to open the same profile, this time across every session of yours they joined. The first figure becomes **Sessions** (how many they joined), and each session shows which classroom it belongs to. Parents can only be added from a classroom’s **Students** tab, so the profile on this page has no **Parents** panel. ## What students see Signed-in students get a **My insights** tab on each classroom they’ve joined. It shows the same profile, about themselves: their accuracy, the questions to go back over, their engagement, feedback and sessions. Students never see anyone else’s work or figures for the class as a whole. Questions whose correct answer hasn’t been shown to them yet stay hidden from their profile too. ## Students who join as guests A student who joins without signing in appears with a **Guest** badge. Their profile only covers the sessions they joined as that guest. If they sign in later, their signed-in work shows up as a separate student, and the two aren’t merged. Guests also can’t have a parent added. To keep a student’s progress in one place, ask them to sign in each time they join. ## Good to know - **Every plan.** Profiles, the Students page and **My insights** are included on every plan. On the Standard plan, open answers aren’t marked against success criteria and there’s no AI feedback, so those parts of a profile have less in them. - **Co-teachers** see the same profiles as you. - **Deleted sessions** drop out of a profile. - **No PDF.** Profiles can’t be exported.
