My Classroom - your classroom management tool

My Classroom is a comprehensive classroom management tool that integrates seating plans, attendance, assessment data, and behaviour management into one platform. It allows teachers to create interactive seating arrangements, track attendance, and manage student behaviour efficiently, all while providing immediate access to student profiles. My Classroom is part of the Arbor Perform package and is accessible to various staff members through the Lesson Dashboard.

My Classroom brings seating plans, registers, assessment data and behaviour management into one place. Create interactive seating plans using drag-and-drop seats, then add attendance and behaviour points directly onto your plan throughout your lesson on a tablet or on your desktop.

There's no more need to rely on paper, excel spreadsheets seating plans or third parties, which are not shareable, hard to edit and require time-consuming data entry. My Classroom is built into Arbor, giving you access to photos and contextual data about each of your students right when you need it, plus everything you capture in My Classroom shows up on student profiles straight away.

My Classroom is available to teachers from the Lesson Dashboard, so they can set up their layouts and seating plans at any time before using My Classroom 'on the ground'. Your colleagues can see and use your plans too.

Introduction to the My Classroom pages

My Classroom is split between four pages.

On the classroom layout page you can:

On the seating plan page you can:

• Create and name a new seating plan
• Create multiple seating plans for one layout to reuse layouts for other lessons taught in the same room
• Assign students to each seat
