✏️ How Teachers Use Premium Insights in Real Life
Premium isn’t just “more data” — it’s about turning insights into action.
How to Set Learning Goals
Class Companion’s Student-Level Insights make it easy to set meaningful, data-driven goals for your students. With just a few clicks, you can uncover specific areas for improvement and help students focus on what matters most.
- Go to the Students Tab → Select a profile.
- Identify Areas for Improvement - Zero in on key skill gaps like “Thesis Clarity” or “Grammar Precision.”
- Spot Growth Metrics - Highlight patterns where students consistently struggle and need extra support.
- Use Rubric Breakdowns - Pinpoint low-scoring rubric criteria to guide your teaching and feedback.
- Use SMART Goal Generator Here → Quickly craft a clear, actionable goal.
💡 Example: “By the next essay assignment, Hermione Granger will improve her ‘Thesis Writing’ score from 75% to 85% by applying teacher feedback and completing an additional practice assignment.”
Individualized Support with Rubric Criterion Insights
Class Companion’s Rubric Criterion Insights give you a powerful tool for targeted teaching. Instead of guessing where students need help, you can quickly zero in on specific skills and track their progress over time.
Here’s how to use these insights effectively:
- Pinpoint Specific Skills - Identify exactly where an individual student or group needs improvement — for example, “Supporting Arguments with Evidence” or “Grammar and Clarity.”
- Tailor Reteaching Strategies - Design focused plans to reteach and reinforce these skills with maximum efficiency.
- Track Progress - Monitor how students improve after interventions, so you can adjust your approach as needed.
Steps to Take with Rubric Criterion Insights:
1. Select an Area of Focus
- Log into Class Companion and open the Assignments tab.
- Choose an assignment and click the Insights tab.
- Use Rubric Criterion Insights to pinpoint which skill(s) need attention.
2. Develop a Reteaching Strategy
- Run a 5-minute mini-lesson targeting the skill.
- Show examples of strong and weak responses.
- Use targeted prompts to help students revise and improve their work.
3. Assign Additional Practice
- Create or select practice questions focused on that skill.
- For example, assign an individual task designed to reinforce “Supporting Arguments with Evidence.”
How to Write Report Card Comments with Premium Insights
- Log into Class Companion → Go to the Students Tab.
- Select a Student → Choose one (or try Ron or Hermione in the demo class).
- Review Insights →
• Average Scores → How are they doing overall?
• Time on Task → Are they focused or rushing?
• Number of Attempts → Are they persistent?
• AI Feedback → What’s going well? What needs work? - Craft Comments → Highlight strengths, growth areas, and next steps.
💡 Example: “Hermione consistently delivers sharp, clear thesis writing. We’ll continue building her evidence use.”
How to Write Evidence-Based Parent Emails
When it’s time to update parents, Premium Insights give you clear, objective details to share — no more vague comments or generic updates.
- Open Student-Level Insights → Find detailed performance data.
- Spot Trends → Improvements, struggles, effort. Look at the student’s recent performance: average scores, time on task, number of attempts, and the specific skills they’ve mastered or are still working on.
- Write the Email → Share growth, name challenges, suggest next steps.
💡 Example: “Hi Mrs. Ramirez, I wanted to share an update on Mateo’s progress. Over the past month, he’s shown strong growth in main idea and inference questions, with his average score improving from 65% to 80%. He’s also been using the AI tutor regularly, which has helped boost his confidence. We’re still working on text evidence questions, so I’ll focus on that in upcoming lessons. Thanks for your ongoing support!”
This approach builds trust with families, shows you’re paying attention to their child’s progress, and makes parent communication more meaningful.
How to Encourage a Growth Mindset
Premium lets you highlight the effort behind the achievement — not just the final score. This helps students feel proud of their persistence and encourages a growth mindset.
Here’s how you can use these insights:
- Identify Students Who Haven’t Retried - Quickly see which students haven’t made multiple attempts, so you can encourage them to keep going.
- Monitor Improvement -Track whether students improved between attempts and where they made gains.
- Promote a Growth Mindset - Use this data to reinforce the value of persistence and learning from feedback.
Steps to Use Assignment Insights for Encouraging Effort:
- Go to Assignments Tab → Insights
- Check Attempts + Progress → Who’s improving? Who needs encouragement?
- Give Feedback → Celebrate persistence, coach those who need another try.
💡 Example: “I love how you boosted your score from 3/6 to 5/6 by trying again — amazing grit!”
By celebrating perseverance, you reinforce the message that learning is a process — and that sticking with challenges leads to real progress.
How to Plan Small Groups with Confidence
Premium takes the guesswork out of small-group instruction by showing you exactly which students need similar support — and in what areas.
In Class-Level Insights and Assignment-Level Insights, you can:
✅ Identify groups of students struggling with the same skill or concept
✅ See patterns like common errors or misconceptions
✅ Get targeted reteaching recommendations
- Open Class- or Assignment-Level Insights
- Group by Skill → Main idea, text evidence, grammar.
- Target Gaps → Plan 10–15 min group lessons.
- Recheck Progress → Adjust as needed.
How to Use the Orange Average Line
Use it to compare student vs. class average:
- Student-Level → Who’s ahead, behind, on track?
- Assignment-Level→ Which questions stumped the class?
- Class-Level → Which skills need reteaching?
