I’m a teacher and built a tool to track student mastery, would this be useful?
I’m a full-time science/cte teacher, and I’ve always ended up using spreadsheets to track student progress and mastery over time.
But I’ve found spreadsheets get messy quickly when trying to track growth, especially when working with skills or standards. Our PLCs all have different spreadsheets.
I decided to build a small desktop app that keeps all the data local on your computer. This is designed to help track student mastery/progress in a more structured way:
- organize students by class
- track skill/mastery over time
- reduce reliance on complex spreadsheet setups
It’s still early, but I put together a few screenshots of what it looks like so far. I was a bit limited on what I can show since I have real student data in my program.
I’m not trying to sell anything right now, I’m just trying to figure out if this actually solves a real problem for other teachers or if spreadsheets already handle this well enough. I've just been testing this with my PLC so far with how we do things in my school.
Would something like this be useful in your classroom?
