How to View and Download Progress Reports (Teacher)
As a teacher, monitoring student engagement and progress is essential for data-driven instruction. Penda Science provides "Quick Reports" to help you analyze usage across your classes in just a few clicks.
Why Mastery Matters More Than Usage Time
Mastery of activities—not just time spent on the platform—has the strongest correlation with improved high-stakes assessment scores. While students may log hours without meaningful engagement, those actively working toward mastery see real academic growth. As you review reports, focus on mastery and proficiency rather than usage time to fully understand Penda Science’s impact on student outcomes.
The Progress Report provides an overview of class and student progress, including:
Engagement Hours: Total time spent by the class.
Hours Per Student: The average time each student has spent on activities.
Active Students: The count of students who have logged in and completed work.
Average Score: The average score for activities completed for the selected timeframe.
Average Mastery: Average score for all completed activities
Completed Activities: Number of completed activities
Mastery levels: Visual indicators for Not mastered, partially mastered, or mastered
