Class Composer

The platform provides tools for collecting teacher input on student characteristics, including academic performance, behaviour, social dynamics, and special educational needs. Staff can enter or import student information, assign attributes such as reading levels or learning support requirements, and indicate which students should be placed together or kept apart.

The application then allows administrators to distribute pupils across classes while attempting to balance these factors across each grade level. Class Composer is designed for use by elementary school teachers, principals, and administrative staff involved in the annual class assignment process.

Features include drag-and-drop class list construction, visual indicators showing the balance of attributes across classes, collaboration tools enabling multiple staff members to contribute input, and reporting functions for reviewing proposed placements. The system operates through a web browser and stores student data for use across placement cycles, with the stated aim of reducing the time required to compose class lists compared with manual or spreadsheet-based methods.
