Introducing the New Teacher Interface and Experience on The KWL Hub

What is changing in the new KWL Hub teacher interface?

• • The new KWL Hub introduces a modernized teacher interface designed for easier navigation, faster access to key tools, and improved classroom management. You’ll find a cleaner layout, streamlined assignment creation, enhanced progress tracking, and simplified class setup options.

Why are you making this change?

• • We’re updating the teacher interface to improve usability and performance based on teacher feedback. The goal is to make it easier for you to manage classes, track student progress, and engage with your students more efficiently.

When will the new teacher interface be available?

• • The updated interface will launch in January 2026. Upon log-in, teachers will be given the option to switch to the new teacher user interface, or remain in the classic version.

Will there be downtime?

• • No. We’re planning the update to minimize disruptions: however, if any short maintenance window is needed, we’ll communicate it in advance.

Is there an overlap period where I can choose between the old and new interface?

• • Yes. Once the update goes live, teachers will be able to choose if they want to access the new interface or remain with the classic interface. This overlap period will last through the 2025-2026 school year. It will end on August 30th, 2026, at which point all teacher accounts will automatically transition to the new teacher user interface.

Will my current classes, student rosters, and assignments transfer to the updated system?

• Yes. All existing data – including your classes, student rosters, assignments, and grades – will automatically transfer to the new interface. You won’t lose any information.

Will the student experience also change, or is this update only for teachers?

• This update focuses on improving the teacher experience. The student user interface was updated last July 2025, and but may also see minor adjustments and updates over the course of the school year. These updates will not be significant changes to the current student user experience.

How do I log in to the new KWL Hub? Do I need to create a new account to access the updated teacher user interface and experience?
