Weighted Group Creator for K-12

Problem Description

I'd like a better way to group my students. As a part of our IB program, we have students work collaboratively a lot. We have groups as small as 2 and groups as large as 10-12. We sometimes group students across different sections and content areas. Creating equitable groups can be challenging.

Proposed Solution

I think an app where I could load rosters and then have the option of "rating" students on things like ability level, participation, and time available (some students are also athletes so they have different availability that impacts groups) would be great. Students could complete some part of this as well, like adding in their practice or bus schedules. Then the app could identify the best groups possible and suggest times for students to work together.
