The Student Snapshot brings everything a student did in a lesson into one place — their progress, their code, their answers, and an AI-written summary — so you can understand their work and send meaningful feedback without clicking through four different screens. You'll find it in any section's left sidebar, under PERFORMANCE → Student Snapshot.

We've heard from teachers that getting a full picture of one student's work used to mean hopping between progress, projects, and responses screens. Once a teacher finds all of that work, they still need to do the work to create a mental summary of how a student did. Student Snapshot pulls all of it together and adds AI-generated summaries and draft feedback, so you can spend less time hunting for information and more time helping students grow.

Getting to a student's work

When you open Student Snapshot, use the dropdowns at the top to land on the work you want to review:

1. Choose a Unit.
2. Choose a Lesson (or use the Prev/Next arrows to move between lessons).
3. Choose a Student (or use Prev/Next to move student by student). You can order students by Display name or Family name using Sort by.

The page updates to show that student's work for that lesson, organized into the widgets below.

What each widget shows

Lesson Details gives you the quick numbers: Progress (percent complete), Validation Tests passed, and Time Spent — each shown next to the class average so you can see how this student compares.

Lesson Insight is an AI-written summary of what the student did, broken into Progress, Misconceptions, Assessment, and Next Steps. It's a fast way to understand where a student is and what might be getting in their way — including a read on any free-response answers they gave. It's labeled Generated by AI Teaching Assistant.

Lesson Feedback is where you respond. When you open a student's snapshot, this box is already filled with AI-generated draft feedback — a starting point you can edit freely before it goes anywhere. A banner reminds you the text was AI-generated and should be reviewed before sending.

• Edit the feedback text directly in the box to make it your own.
• Use Recommended Action to add a short message and, if helpful, a resource — click + Add resource link, give it a name and a URL, and Save.
• Click Save as draft to keep your work privately without sending it — the Last saved time updates so you know it's stored.
• Click Send feedback to student when you're ready to share it. Students see teacher feedback by going to studio.code.org/feedback and opening the relevant lesson.

Check For Understanding Questions summarizes how the student did on the lesson's CFU questions — how many they completed, their accuracy, and a breakdown of Correct / Partly Correct / Incorrect / Incomplete. Expand any question row to see the detail, including multiple choice, matching, and free-response answers.

Student Code shows the student's work on the lesson, with tabs for the Instructions and their code file. Exemplar Code sits just below it, showing an example solution in the same layout, so you can compare the two side by side.

Rubric appears on levels that have one, and includes AI-generated evaluations where they're available.

Please note

• Lesson Insight and Lesson Feedback are AI-generated. Always review them before sending — they're a head start, not a final answer.
• Check For Understanding, Student Code, and Exemplar Code appear once a student has done the relevant work in the lesson; you may not see them for a student who hasn't started.
• Feedback saved as a draft is private to you until you choose Send feedback to student.

We're actively building this

Student Snapshot is growing. We're expanding Rubric availability and AI evaluations in early 2026, broadening AI validation of free-response answers, and improving how students are notified when you send feedback. More widgets are on the way, and a classroom-wide snapshot is on the horizon if teachers want it — so tell us what would help most.
