Overview
Many people who support student learning, like tutors, counselors, paraprofessionals, afterschool professionals, siblings, and other relatives, may not have School Loop accounts or right permissions to reach the instructional materials. Therefore, School Loop makes it easy for teachers to share instructional materials. This article provides information on protecting copyrighted materials while sharing the instructional materials.
