Designing a teacher portal to simplify classroom management
Zogo partnered with schools to bring financial literacy into classrooms. Teachers needed a way to assign modules, monitor student progress, and report back to administrators. Without a dedicated tool, many relied on manual tracking or reached out to partner support.

Problem
Manual workflows created frustration for teachers and high support costs for Zogo
Managing classrooms and content was time-consuming and unclear. Teachers had no easy way to assign skills across classes, curriculum lists were long and hard to scan, and progress data was difficult to access.
SOLUTIONS
The portal reduced support needs and improved school adoption
I designed a My Classrooms dashboard that displayed subject, grade, student count, and progress at a glance. Collapsible curriculum sections with headers and skill counts made large lists scannable. Clear call-to-action buttons and hover states supported intuitive navigation.
Guided classroom setup helps teachers quickly create and organize new classes.
Student progress tables provide clear insights with reports ready to download.
Account management tools let teachers handle student accounts independently.
Collapsible curriculum sections make assigned skills easy to scan and manage.

Learnings
