While Classroom Performance is the class-wide view, Student Performance is where you investigate individual students. This is the tab to open when a specific student needs attention or when you're prepping for a parent conference.
Opening Student Performance
Inside your classroom, click the Student Performance tab. You'll see:
Left panel: A scrollable list of all students in the classroom
Top selector: A view dropdown (Budget Simulator, Stock Simulator, Startup Simulator, or Coursework)
Main panel: The selected student's data in the selected view
Selecting a Student
In the left panel, students appear with their avatar/initials, first and last name, and current activity status. Click any student to load their data into the main panel.
You can also use the Search students field at the top of the left panel to filter to a specific student.
Sorting the Student List
Toggle between Name and Accuracy at the top of the left panel:
Name (default) — Alphabetical sort
Accuracy — Sorted by accuracy ascending (struggling students surface to the top)
For weekly check-ins on struggling students, sort by Accuracy to put the students who most need attention right at the top.
Switching Views
Use the view dropdown to switch between simulators and coursework. Each view shows different data:
Budget Simulator view
Three balance cards: Checking Account, Savings Account, Credit Card
Current Phase indicator (College Student, Career, Retirement)
Event History — Every simulator event the student has encountered (e.g., "College Festival Opportunity") with their decision (Skip / Attend / Volunteer) and the financial and social outcomes
Accounts & Transactions — Detailed transaction log per account (Transfer In, Transfer Out, dates, amounts)
Stock Simulator view
Portfolio value
Holdings breakdown by stock
Trade history
Return percentage
Startup Simulator view
Current Market Value
Employee Wellness
Gross Revenue
Profit/Loss
Business decisions log
Coursework view
Lesson-by-lesson completion status
Accuracy on each lesson
Time spent
Mastery indicators per concept
Reading the Budget Simulator View
This is one of the most detailed views in the entire platform. Let's break down what you're looking at:
Balance cards (top row) The student's current Checking, Savings, and Credit Card balances. Green = positive, red = overdrawn or in debt. A student with $0 Credit Card means they haven't used credit, not that they're behind.
Current Phase card Shows where the student is in the simulator timeline. The Budget Simulator progresses through life phases — High School → College Student → Career → Retirement. Knowing the phase helps you contextualize their balances.
Event History Each row is a simulator event the student encountered. Click any event to expand it and see:
The scenario description (e.g., "A major college festival is taking place this weekend...")
The choices the student saw (Skip / Attend / Volunteer)
The choice the student made
The financial outcome (e.g., -$50.00)
The non-financial outcomes (e.g., "social life: +5%, stress: +6%")
Event History is incredibly useful for understanding why a student's balances look the way they do. A student with low Checking might have made a series of attend-the-event decisions; a student with high Savings might have consistently skipped.
Accounts & Transactions A bank-statement-style log of every transaction in each account. Use it to trace specific balance changes (e.g., "Why did her Checking drop $610 in July?" → "Transfer Out to Credit Card payment.").
Reading the Coursework View
The Coursework view shows lesson-by-lesson performance for the student, organized by unit. You'll see:
Each lesson the student has attempted
Accuracy on that lesson
Mastery status (Mastery / In Progress / Needs Support / Not Started)
Time spent
This is the view to open when you want to know "what's this student actually struggling with?"
Common Workflows
Pre-parent-conference prep Select the student → review Coursework for academic standing → review Budget Sim Event History for engagement insights → screenshot or note the highlights.
Post-assessment debrief A student bombed a quiz. Open their Coursework view → identify which lessons they showed weakness in before the quiz → use that as a re-teach plan.
Engagement check A student seems disengaged. Open their Budget Sim view → check Event History → look for patterns (always Skip? Always volunteer for high-effort, low-reward options?). The decisions students make in the sim often reveal more about their thinking than any assessment.
Simulator-specific celebration A student is dominating the Stock Simulator leaderboard. Open their Stock view → see what trades drove their performance → use it as a positive example in class discussion (with permission).
When the Student Has No Data
If you've just added a student or they haven't logged in yet, all views will show empty states or zero balances. Give them a few class periods of activity before drawing conclusions.
