📊 Tip 2: Use Student Dashboards
Understand each student’s progress at a glance:
Click a student’s name, then tap Dashboard
View:
Total points
Top behaviors
Points earned vs. spent
Click any number to view details in the Timeline
📎 You can also print or download PDFs to share during conferences or check-ins.
🕓 Tip 3: Check the Student Timeline
See a full history of a student’s points:
