Managing Groups

Creating groups in Flashlight360 is a powerful way to tailor instruction to your learners’ needs. Groups allow you to assign specific performance tasks to selected students within your classes, helping you provide focused, targeted support.

You can assign tasks to multiple groups across different classes and schools, allowing you to deliver consistent instruction, differentiate learning for student needs, and save valuable time.

If there are certain students you’d like to assign work to, you can also send performance tasks directly to those individuals through your groups.

Step-by-Step Guide to Create/Manage Your Groups

1. From your Teacher Dashboard, select the Students tab on the navigation menu. 

2.  From the Student Directory page, select Manage Groups to navigate to existing groups and make new groups. 

3. From the Student Groups page, select Create to start a new group.

4. After selecting Create, you will see a pop-up to create the drop. You will need to add the school and class that this group is tied to, as well as a unique name to easily navigate back to. 

5. Once you have created your new group, you can select Manage to add and remove students from the group. This is also where you will have the option to delete the group.

6. After you select Manage, you will be taken to the Manage Group page. You must first select the checkbox by the student's name, then select Add Selected and Remove Selected to confirm that change in the group list. The students' names will automatically save as you transfer names between lists.

7. If you choose to delete a group, select Delete Group. 

(Note: If a group is deleted, all data associated with that group will also be deleted.) If you would like to remove all students from the group, but keep the data associated with that group, simply check all student names and Remove Selected. 

8. If you choose to rename a group, type the new name in the Group Name field, then select Confirm to save the change.

When you are finished with your changes, select Groups from the breadcrumb menu under the page title to go back to your Student Groups page.
