Navigating through the Teacher interface

This article explains how to find your way around the EP teacher interface, including the left-hand navigation, header search, settings and profile, Classes hub, and Discover, so you can find content, manage classes, and assign work to students.

This article gives you a quick tour of the teacher interface on Education Perfect.

Getting around

The teacher interface keeps navigation simple, so you can access the tools you need, when you need them.

It’s easy to find and assign work to students and understand student and class progress. Classes are a big focus within the platform, and class management is straightforward.

What’s in the teacher interface?

Left-hand navigation

The left-hand global navigation gives you quick access to EP tools.

Left-hand global navigation menu

The Settings cog and profile menu have moved from the bottom of the left-hand navigation to the top-right corner. With settings out of the left-hand navigation, class shortcuts sit higher and are easier to see, especially on smaller laptop screens.

Header: search, settings, and profile

The header at the top of the page now holds search, settings, and your profile.

  • Search: A search bar sits in the header on every page, including your Home page, so you can search all EP and custom content from anywhere in EP. The Library page has its own search bar instead. See Finding content on EP to learn how search works.

  • Settings and profile: The Settings cog and your profile menu are now in the top-right corner of the header on every page. They used to sit at the bottom of the left-hand navigation. Nothing has been removed, only moved.

Classes hub

The Classes hub gives you a class-focused view directly in the left-hand navigation, so you can reach your classes and students from anywhere on EP. Each class is identified by its two-letter initials and custom colour.

Click into a class to see an overview of how that class is progressing through assigned work. You get full class context at a glance, which makes class management easier.

Discover content

Use Discover to find and assign EP content. It has two tabs: EP content and Supplementary content, which holds content curated by EP’s Content team.

In the EP content tab, filter by curriculum, subject, level, and syllabus (where available) to browse by topic. Discover opens in list view by default. Use the icons at the top right of the page to switch to card view.

Once you’re viewing your topic of choice, you’ll see a list of lessons sequenced to progress students through units of work and achieve specific learning outcomes. From here, you can easily assign work to students.

Curriculum learning outcomes within a topic in Discover

Discover makes it easier to find the content you need, assign units of work, and map progress to curriculum-aligned outcomes.


You can also search for content from anywhere in EP, or browse EP content, your own content, and your school’s content in the Library tab. To learn more about list view, card view, and Supplementary content, see EP’s Discover tool.
