At a glance

  • Who uses it: Every user, once after first sign-in.
  • Purpose: Get oriented to the top-level layout so you can find anything in two clicks.

The home screen depends on your role

  • Teacher → Teacher Portal (your assigned students).
  • Facilitator → Cases (your caseload).
  • Admin → Admin dashboard (school-wide overview).
  • District admin → District dashboard (cross-school rollups).

If you hold multiple roles, you can switch home using the role/org switcher in the header.

Primary navigation

The left sidebar contains:

  • Cases (facilitators, admins) — open caseload, referral inbox, follow-ups.
  • Students (facilitators, admins) — student directory, search, attention flags.
  • Teacher Portal (teachers) — assigned students, referrals, feedback.
  • Reports (admins, district admins, facilitators with scope) — dashboards, trends, exports, audit.
  • Administration (admins) — org settings, users, intake forms, attention rules, billing.

Search

The global search bar at the top spans students, cases, and notes you have permission to see. Press / from anywhere to focus it.

The notification bell

The bell in the header shows recent activity affecting you: new cases, teacher-visible notes, follow-up reminders. Click the bell to see the full list. See Teacher notifications for how to tune what fires.

Switching organizations or roles

If your district granted you access to multiple schools, the org switcher in the header lists every org you can act in. Switching changes the scope of everything you see — cases, students, reports.

Help & support

  • The ? icon in the header opens contextual help for the current page.
  • The Help Center (this site) is searchable and printable.
  • For support, email support@amplifyed.app.

FAQ

Why is my sidebar shorter than my colleague's? Sidebar items appear based on your role. A teacher's sidebar is shorter than a facilitator's by design.

Can I customize the sidebar? Not today. The order is fixed; visibility is role-based.
