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
Difficult to Set Up Classes
Teachers lacked an easy way to create and organize classrooms.
Manual student management
Managing accounts and enrollment was manual and inconsistent.
No visibility into student progress
No central place to view student performance or generate reports.
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
Focusing on clarity created wins for both teachers and the business
Small interface details such as headers, badges, and collapsible sections made the experience easier for educators. The portal delivered a smoother classroom workflow for teachers while giving Zogo a scalable way to support its school partners.
