Adaptive Tutor Teacher Guide

For Teachers And Admins

How to run Adaptive Tutor in a real classroom.

This guide covers student connections, the teacher dashboard, reading assignments, review inbox workflows, analytics, tutoring handoffs, and the admin invitation system.

1. Student Connections

Teacher visibility starts only when a student requests it.

Student-initiated by design

Students request a teacher from profile settings. Teachers must accept before student work becomes visible.

No teacher mode by default

Students with no assigned teacher continue to see the normal library experience without assignment clutter.

Where to accept requests

Open the Teacher Dashboard in the library to review pending requests and accept or reject them.

2. Teacher Dashboard

The teacher dashboard is the control center inside the library.

A

Accepted Students

Select a linked student to inspect topic progress, book progress, assignment history, and the latest submission.

B

Review Inbox

Use filters for actionable, awaiting review, needs revision, overdue, in progress, reviewed, or all assignments.

C

Bulk Actions

Select multiple assignments in the review queue to mark reviewed, request revision, or archive them together.

Important: The teacher dashboard is a modal inside the library scene. Students do not see it unless they are a teacher or admin.

3. Assignments

You can assign reading by student, list, class, roster, or grade.

Choose a target mode

The assignment form supports a selected student, comma-separated usernames, all linked students, classroom id, roster or subgroup, or grade band.

Choose a book and unit

Search the library catalog, select a book, and choose a curated unit or chapter range when available.

Schedule release and due dates

Use separate release and due timing so work can be staged in advance instead of appearing immediately.

Reuse assignment details

Use Copy Selected Assignment Details to clone a prior assignment into the form and send a revised version to new targets.

4. Review And Revision

Use structured feedback instead of a single pass/fail note.

Feedback fields

Use Teacher Review Note, Keep Doing, Needs Revision, and Next Step to make guidance actionable.

Rubric scoring

Score comprehension, evidence quality, accuracy, and clarity so the student gets more concrete feedback and you get stronger analytics later.

Threaded comments

Post follow-up comments on the assignment thread without overwriting earlier feedback.

Student revision loop

When a student resubmits, the assignment history keeps the event trail and the latest submission panel shows what changed since the last checkpoint.

5. Analytics

Use the library analytics to decide what to do next.

  • Track overdue, awaiting review, needs revision, in progress, completed, and reviewed assignments.
  • Watch which students are repeatedly overdue or revision-heavy.
  • See tutoring launch counts and whether those assignments later moved to reviewed or back to revision.
  • Use rubric and confidence patterns to identify weak evidence, weak comprehension, or unclear writing.

6. Tutoring And KT Handoffs

The library can push students into the next best support step.

Tutoring bridge

Weak book performance can hand the student into a matching tutoring topic without sending the book text to the agents.

Knowledge-check bridge

Use the KT handoff when a reading weakness looks like a deeper mastery gap that should be checked more directly.

What the student sees

Students get direct action buttons in the library and classroom only when the handoff is useful. Teacher-only controls remain hidden from normal students.

7. Admin Invitations

Admins can invite users by email with revokable one-time access codes.

1

Open Admin Access

Admins see a separate admin panel in the library. Teacher-only accounts do not.

2

Fill out the invite form

Enter the invitee email, optional name, optional suggested username, role, plan, expiration window, and notes.

3

Send invitation

The system generates a one-time access code, emails the invitation, and stores the code in the normal access-code list so it can be revoked later.

Operational note: If the invitee already has an account tied to the same email, the code is assigned to that user automatically. Otherwise it remains a one-time invite code the user redeems during login.

8. Operational Notes

Common questions from teachers and admins.

Do students need to type long responses?

Not always. Younger students can often use multiple choice or voice input depending on the workflow.

Can I remove access later?

Yes. Revoke the promo code or direct access grant from the admin panel.

Do teacher features appear for all students?

No. Assignment and teacher workflow cues only appear after a teacher has actually created them for that student.

Can students open help from inside the game?

Yes. The library and classroom now include guide buttons that open the student or teacher wiki in the browser.
