Learn how to use IB Marker to enhance your teaching and track student progress.
Getting Started as a Teacher
Welcome to IB Marker! Here's how to set up your teacher account and start helping your students:
1
Create Your Account
Sign up with your school email address. If your school has a subscription, enter your school code during registration.
2
Request Teacher Status
Contact your school administrator to have your account upgraded to teacher status, or use the teacher verification process.
3
Set Up Your Subjects
Select the IB subjects you teach. This helps filter relevant content and student data.
4
Invite Your Students
Share your class code with students so they can join your class and you can track their progress.
Managing Your Classes
The Teacher Dashboard gives you powerful tools to manage multiple classes:
Create Classes
Set up separate classes for each subject and year group. Each class gets a unique code for students to join.
Student Roster
View all students in each class, their activity status, and quick access to individual progress reports.
Class Analytics
See aggregate statistics showing class averages, common areas of difficulty, and improvement trends.
Export Reports
Download progress reports for individual students or entire classes in PDF or CSV format.
Tracking Student Progress
Monitor how your students are performing and identify those who need extra support:
Individual Student View
-
Performance Metrics
View average scores by topic, question type, and over time.
-
Activity History
See when students practiced, how many questions they attempted, and their consistency.
-
Weakness Identification
Automatically highlighted topics where students are struggling.
Privacy Note
Teachers can only view progress data for students in their classes. Individual answer content is not visible to maintain student privacy during practice.
Creating Assignments
Set specific practice tasks for your students:
1
Select Assignment Type
Choose between topic practice (flexible) or specific question sets (structured).
2
Set Parameters
Define the topic, difficulty level, number of questions, and due date.
3
Publish to Class
Assign to entire classes or select specific students. Students see assignments on their dashboard.
4
Review Submissions
Track completion rates and review aggregate performance on the assignment.
Best Practices
Make the most of IB Marker in your classroom:
Regular Check-ins
Review class analytics weekly to identify struggling students early and adjust your teaching accordingly.
Encourage Consistency
Students who practice 3-5 times per week show significantly better improvement than those who cram.
Use Data in Lessons
If multiple students struggle with the same topic, address it in class before assigning more practice.
Celebrate Progress
Acknowledge students who show improvement, not just those with highest scores. The badge system helps with this.
