As teachers, understanding who’s in your classroom is more than just memorizing names—it’s about truly knowing your students, their backgrounds, and their needs. This understanding plays a critical role in shaping how you teach and how students engage with learning. Luckily, with the right Student Information System (SIS), gaining these insights is easier than ever.
