As an administrator, you have the ability to add teacher users directly to the platform using the teacher management view under Users and Groups. Teachers can either be added individually through the + New Teacher function or added in groups using the Import function.
Adding Individual Teachers
Adding an individual teacher can be completed by using the + New Teacher button on the detailed table in the Teachers view.
- Access the Teachers view — Go to Data > Users and Groups > Teachers.
- Add a new teacher — Use + New Teacher, located in the top right of the detailed table, to add a new teacher.
- Add the teacher's information — Add the teacher's first name, last name, primary school, and any additional schools if the teacher works at multiple sites.
- Choose the account type — If the teacher will use an email to log in, provide the teacher's email and choose a temporary password or invite the teacher to create a password. If the teacher will use a username to log in, provide the teacher's username and temporary password.
- Save the teacher — After saving, the teacher will show up in the Teachers view and can be accessible throughout the platform.
Importing Multiple Teachers
Adding multiple teachers to a specific school can be completed using the Import button on the detailed table in the Teachers view.
- Access the Teachers view — Go to Data > Users and Groups > Teachers.
- Filter to a school — If you are a District Admin or higher, filtering to a school is required to enable the Import button on the table. School admins have their school automatically selected.
- Open the import portal — Use Import to open the import portal. You will see a download for a template file, an option to upload an import file, an import button, and additional instructions.
- Download the template — If this is your first time importing teachers, download the sample .csv file. You can use this template to organize your teacher import file. (Note: this is a different template than the student import.)
- Add teachers to the template — Follow the instructions on the import portal to add teachers to the template file.
- Import the teachers — Use Choose File to upload the import file, and then use Import to import the teachers. Once the import is complete, teachers will be accessible throughout the platform.
Best Practices
- Use the import portal if you wish to import more than a few teachers. It's fast and easy once you get used to the template file.
- It's recommended to use email instead of usernames. The login experience is more seamless with an email.
Summary
Teacher management makes it easy to add users to the platform, either one at a time or in bulk. Use + New Teacher for individual entries or the Import tool to upload multiple teachers at once.
