What’s changing
Last year, we introduced student groups in Google Classroom, a feature that enables teachers to create groups of students to make assigning differentiated content easier. As a result of this update, teachers can differentiate content across sub-sections of their class based on their students' needs. For example, teachers can create groups based on different reading levels and as their class adapts, they can edit members of a group or delete groups within their class.
Today, we’re excited to announce improvements to student groups that enable teachers to:
- Email groups, which is especially useful when educators want to communicate with a sub-section of their class.
- Sort by groups when grading on the Student work page. This makes it easier to grade more efficiently and understand student performance based on groups.
- Edit student groups when creating an assignment so that educators can quickly adapt instruction without having to go to the People page.
Getting started
- Admins: There is no admin control for this feature.
- End users:
- Group names and members are only visible to teachers or co-teachers, not students.
- Visit the Help Center to learn more about setting up and using student groups in Google Classroom.
Rollout pace
- Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) starting on April 22, 2025
