What You'll Need

• Your school must have an active School Plan
• An individual teacher account
• An active class

Feature Overview

Co-teachers have access to all the features any teacher with an individual account can use. This includes access to the Teacher Dashboard, to create and manage assignments, and the ability to track student work.

Co-teachers share all the following data with their other co-teachers:

• Classes
• Students
• Assignments
• Student Submissions
• Projects: Make-a-Maps, Make-a-Movies

To see whether you have any shared classes with other teachers, look for the Shared icon in the class tile when viewing the class on your Dashboard or in the Classes menu.

Assignments made to shared classes will also be shared. To see if you have any shared assignments, look for the Shared icon next to the class name in the Assignment tile.

We do not collect or designate a 'primary' teacher role in BrainPOP.  All teachers that share classes have the same permissions to do things like view student submissions, create and edit shared assignments, reset student passwords, and even archive and delete your shared classes.
Deleting a student, shared class, or shared assignment from your dashboard will also remove it from your co-teachers's dashboard.

Shared Classes

You can view other teachers in your shared class by loading the class from the dashboard or the Classes page.



Click on the number of teachers on the top right to see the names and emails for the other teachers for the class. Because co-teachers are automatically added by your rostering integrations, you are not able to edit your co-teachers.

To learn how to archive or delete a class, you can consult this article:

Archive or Delete Classes

Be careful: deleting or archiving a shared class also deletes or archives the class for all other co-teachers.

Shared Assignments

When you assign work to a class that is shared with Co-Teachers, the assignment will become a shared assignment. To learn more about how to create assignments, you can consult this article:
Create Assignments

You'll see the Shared icon next to the class name in the assignment tile.

You'll also see which teacher last edited the assignment, and when.  You can see the same information when viewing the Assignment Progress.

Any edits you make to an assignment will be reflected for all co-teachers in their dashboards. All co-teachers can give feedback and grade assignments, with all feedback and assignments being reflected on the assignment for each teacher in the class.

When you edit a shared assignment, the changes you make will also be applied to the assignment for all other teachers.

All co-teachers can give feedback and grade shared assignments, with all feedback and grades being reflected on the assignment for each co-teacher in the class.

When you unassign a shared assignment, you will become the owner of the remaining assignment draft, and your co-teachers will no longer be able to view or edit the assignment draft. Drafts cannot be shared.

Adding a Co-teacher in the Teacher Dashboard

You can invite additional teachers to join your class with the following steps:

1. Log into your individual teacher account.
2. Click Dashboard at the top of the screen.
3. Select the class you want to add a teacher to. (If you haven’t created a class, you can learn how to do that here.)
4. Click “Invite a co-teacher”
   
   
   
5. Fill out the form and click “Send invitation”
   
   

The co-teacher will get an email letting them know you’ve invited them to the class.

If they don’t have a teacher account yet, they’ll be prompted to create one.

Adding a Co-teacher with Clever or Classlink

If your school is using a Clever or Classlink/OneRoster API integration, co-teachers with teacher roles in Clever or OneRoster API will be automatically rostered by each nightly sync. Below, find out what you need in order to be automatically rostered via the nightly sync.

Clever

• Your school must have an active School Plan.
• You'll need to have a teacher role in Clever.
• Your class must be in your primary school. (At this time, we do not roster teachers or classes to teachers’s non-primary schools.)
  

Classlink/OneRoster API

• Your school must have an active School Plan
• Your school must have an SSO/rostering integration set up with Classlink/OneRoster API.
  
• You'll need to have a teacher role in the OneRoster API.

Removing Co-teachers

You can remove teachers from your class with the following steps:

1. Log into your individual teacher account.
2. Click Dashboard at the top of the screen.
3. Select the class you want to remove a teacher from. 
4. Click Edit.
   
   
5. You'll see a list of teachers for that class with an option to remove them. (You can also leave the class or invite additional teachers from here.)
   

NOTE: If your school is using a Clever or Classlink/OneRoster API integration, you will not see the option to remove other co-teachers, since the integration controls which co-teachers are assigned to each class.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a limit on the number of co-teachers that can be added to a class?

Yes, each class can have a maximum of ten teachers.

I had classes and assignments before co-teacher features were introduced. What happens to those classes and assignments?

Your classes and assignments will all remain in your dashboard, but any shared classes are now shared with all your co-teachers as well.

I created my own classes and assignments manually before co-teacher features were introduced. What happens to those classes and assignments?

Classes and assignments that you created yourself will remain in your dashboard and will continue to belong to you alone.

I have a co-teacher who is in a different school to me. Will they be added by the nightly sync?

Yes! In Clever and in OneRoster API, we support multi-school teacher rostering, and all co-teachers will be added.
