Add Co-Teacher

Co-Teachers can change the week order, week visibility, grade students' tests, and manage the classroom on the Classes page. They cannot, however, modify tests or change the availability of tests for students (due to limitations within our current system).

This feature was not designed for setting up other teacher accounts for a school. If you need help with setting up an entire school or district, please contact rostering@studiesweekly.com.

• Under the Class Menu bar on the right-hand side, click the Co-Teachers button

• Choose the class you would like to share with the Co-Teacher
• Click Add Teacher

• A pop-up screen will open asking for the teacher's name and email address
• Enter the information, click the FERPA check box, and click Send Invite

• The teacher will receive an email invitation to your classroom
• Once the teacher has clicked the email link to accept the invitation, they will be logged in 
• The system will ask them to choose a password, if they do not already have one
• They will be taken to the Classes tab and asked to Decline or Accept the invitation
• Once they accept, the shared class will be added to their online account

Transfer Students

• Both teachers would log in to their account as instructed above
• The new teacher would create a class for the students to be transferred into
• The previous year's teacher would go to their class, click the check box to the left of "First Name" in order to select all students, then choose the Transfer Students tab (this appears only after checking the check box)

• The previous teacher would input the username (district email address) of the teacher they would like to share these students with
• The previous teacher would click the Remove students button. Those students are now in the new teacher's classroom and not in the previous teacher's classroom

These steps only need to be done once but must be completed for each publication in each class.
