WHAT EACH PAGE DOES
One job for each page.
Less second guessing.
A simple guide to where things belong in Dreamlight and how each area supports your teaching.
Think by task, not by feature.
Ask what you are trying to accomplish. The right Dreamlight page should make that answer feel obvious.
Keep school context connected
Calendar
Use Calendar for school dates, events, schedule changes, and teaching-day context that can inform Home and planning.
Find and connect teaching files
Resources
Open your real teaching files and connect them to a lesson, a whole day, or an entire week so they surface when you need them.
Keep programs, standards, and pacing together
Curriculum
Use Curriculum to organize the programs, standards, pacing, and instructional context that support your planning.
Understand one student
Students
Open a Student Profile for the connected picture: learning evidence, groups, notes, interventions, recent activity, and support.
Record and monitor learning
Gradebook
Grade and record student evidence here. Gradebook is the source of truth for what students have shown you.
Create and understand assessments
Assessments
Use Assessments to build assessments, analyze results, identify standards patterns, and plan reassessment without duplicating grading.
Respond to student evidence
Groups
Organize flexible reteach, intervention, or enrichment groups based on real evidence and decide what instruction should happen next.
Bring instruction together
Lesson Plans
Combine curriculum, calendar context, resources, groups, and instructional needs so you are not planning from scratch.
Prepare reporting from connected evidence
Report Cards
Use the evidence already recorded in Dreamlight to review progress and prepare report-card reporting without re-entering the same work.
See classwide patterns and growth
Data & Reports
Review broader trends, standards performance, progress, and reports only when real classroom evidence exists.
Make Dreamlight fit your classroom
Settings
Update your profile, curriculum choices, grading system, connected services, notifications, appearance, and other preferences.
THE SIMPLE VERSION
Five rules that keep Dreamlight clear.
These are the distinctions that matter most when you are deciding where to work.
Grade in Gradebook. Analyze assessments in Assessments.
Use Students when you need the full picture for one learner.
Use Groups when evidence points to a targeted instructional response.
Use Lesson Plans to bring the connected pieces together.
No evidence = no claim.
