Managing Group Membership

Group membership changes as your roster shifts - a student joins partway through the year, or moves to a different group. You can update who’s in a group anytime from its Group Details page. Any Instructor assigned to the group can manage its members.

Before You Start

  • Students only appear as options if they’re assigned to you. If someone’s missing, see How Students Get Assigned to Me.
  • A group covers one curriculum, Reading or Math. You can only add students who fit that group’s subject.

How to Add or Remove Students

  1. Open the group. From My Students -> Groups, click the group you want to change.

  2. Click Edit. The Edit action at the top of the Group Details page opens the group’s settings.

  3. Add a student. In the Students field, start typing a name and click to add them. Added students appear as chips below the field.

  4. Remove a student. Click the X on a student’s chip to take them out of the group.

    Braintrust recommends 4 students or fewer per group for the best outcomes. If you go over, you’ll see a warning, but the group still saves.

  5. Click Save. Your changes take effect right away.

What Happens After You Save

A student you remove still appears in that student’s own group history, so past participation is never lost. Removing a student doesn’t delete any of their assessment or session records.
