All Things CLASS

Hi! I'm JJ Cohoon, a product manager for Teachstone.

I'd like your feedback on how we can reorganize our menus so the navigation reflects how how you think about the work you do on Teachstone's platform.

The part we'll be updating is what you see here at the top that currently includes "Home," "My Courses, "My Trainings," "Community," etc.


Here's a draft of a direction we're considering:

Questions

1. Should Trainings, Courses, Learning Resources, and Coaching be under one menu item centered around improvement or should they be under separate headers?
2. What should that category or categories be titled? (PD, Training, Learning, Professional Development, Improvement, Coaching, other?)
3. Under what header would you look for Calibrations? (Observations or one of the suggestions from question 2?)
4. Under what header would you look for Certifications? (Reporting, My History, Observations or one of the suggestions from question 2?

Anything else we should know?

Thanks so much for your help improving the platform!

Hi James,
I genuinely like the layout of the menus however I think under the category of "community" it should be easier to scroll through the community blogs. That way we can easily read and respond to each other's questions and posts so that we can be even more productive.

Hi @Zoe Shombert, thanks for the feedback! My colleague Allison and I would love to get a bit more feedback from you about how the CLASS Community could be easiest to browse and use. I'm going to send you a separate message and would love to find just a few minutes to connect to hear more. ​

How about Professional Development and Certification?

Love the sneak peek of the new design!

For #2: I like "Learning" the most.
For #4:  I'd most likely look for my certification history in "My History" or "Observations". ​

​

Curious to hear what others think of the new design and how they'd navigate it.
