Progress Unlocker & Progression Gates

Firia Labs Teacher Dashboard introduces two powerful features designed to enhance classroom management and student progress tracking: Progress Unlocker and Progression Gates. These tools provide greater flexibility for differentiated instruction while fostering a structured, step-by-step learning experience for students.

• Progress Unlocker: allows teachers to manually UNLOCK specific Missions that students haven't yet accessed through their progress, making it easy to catch up students who are behind or have been absent. This feature ensures that students are focused on the right material at the right time.
• Progression Gates: allow teachers to LOCK specific Missions, preventing students from advancing to the next lesson until access is granted by the teacher, ensuring students focus on mastering coding concepts instead of rushing through the content.
