Summary
When teachers have no active trackers, they will receive a new tracker creation flow, which allows rapid tracker creation.
Notes:
- This feature requires District Standards to be assigned. If a district does not have this feature configured, then teachers will receive the regular tracker creation flow.
- If trackers already exist, the regular tracker creation flow can be used to create trackers one at a time.
- This tracker creation flow does not apply to Canvas-linked trackers.
Change Benefit
This update simplifies the tracker creation experience, and reduces the work required to set up trackers at the beginning of the year.

Summary
The Home Page has been redesigned to replace the Tracker Index. Users can complete key tasks such as creating trackers and assessments or viewing reports directly from the interface.
Tracker information is displayed in a card format, showing relevant metadata and quick access to actions like viewing, editing, archiving, and managing assessments. Each tracker card also includes:
- District Benchmark Section: Displays up to two benchmarks per tracker, allowing teachers to deliver, grade, or view reports based on the benchmark's current state.
- Students to Support Section: Highlights up to three students based on formative mastery or benchmark proficiency, with sorting options by type and average score. Teachers can click Show All to view a complete list in a detailed modal.
Change Benefit
This update provides an accessible tracker index experience, and reduces the steps teachers need to take to access the most common features and areas.
