Adding a Co-teacher

Overview

Teachers or Admins need to add another user with the Teacher or Staff role as a Co-teacher for a Class, which can be useful for adding a substitute Teacher for a Class.

Solution

The Co-teacher role grants access to all the tools for a shared Course, such as the Gradebook, Class Sites, Calendar, Locker, Curriculum, Student Tracker, and the Seating Chart. Co-teachers are also automatically included in the Learning Management Team for the Students in the shared Course.

Below are the pre-requisites to consider before proceeding with the addition of a Co-teacher:

• The Gradebook sharing feature is enabled for your school.
  Note: If the option in step 4 is not available, please ask your District Admin to submit a request to enable Gradebook sharing.
• The user that you want to add as a Co-teacher has a Teacher or Staff account. If not, the account can be created by a School Admin.
• You are the Teacher of record for the Course you want to share (i.e., Co-teachers cannot add another user as a Co-teacher).
  Note: If the Teacher of record is not available, a School Administrator can submit a ticket to add a Co-teacher, including the following info:
  
  • Teacher of record name
  • Desired Co-teacher name
  • Course or a Gradebook name for which a Co-teacher needs to be added.

Below are the steps to add a Co-teacher for a Class:

1. Log in to your School Loop Teacher account.
