Exploros supports co-teaching for classes imported from connected rostering platforms as well as classes managed directly in Exploros. How co-teachers are added depends on how the class was created. Use the instructions below for your rostering platform or for manually managed classes.

If you imported classes from Google or Canvas that have co-teachers in them, you can sync your classes, and the co-teachers will be added. Just go to the class roster, can click the sync button. Regularly syncing your external rostering systems, like Google Classroom or Canvas, can prevent data or roster discrepancies and ensure co-teachers are properly reflected in Exploros. Additionally, if your district uses Schoology, follow the same process: add the co-teacher in Schoology and sync your roster in Exploros.

For districts using ClassLink or Clever, co-teachers must be added through the rostering platform. Because these classes are managed by ClassLink or Clever, manual changes cannot be made in Exploros.

If you want to manually invite someone to co-teach a class, here's how:

1. The lead teacher (the teacher who created the class) can provide the class code to another teacher (co-teacher).

2. The co-teacher can sign up or log into Exploros. Once in the Exploros app, go to Profile > Co-teach a class > Enter the class code and join the class.

NOTE: You cannot co-teach a class with a teacher in a different district (both teachers must be in the same district with valid school email domains).

3. Once added, the class roster will show both teachers.

Co-teaching

Once a co-teacher joins a class, he or she will be able to see all learning experiences assigned after becoming part of the class. (If there are active learning experiences at the time someone becomes a co-teacher, the co-teacher will not see them. They will only see experiences after becoming part of the class.) Additionally, ensure that a co-teacher has assigned relevant teaching activities or entered data in the class to be visible in data reports.

Co-teachers have all the same functionality as the lead teacher with one exception — the lead teacher can remove a co-teacher from the class roster. A co-teacher cannot remove the lead teacher.

Reporting

Both lead teachers and co-teachers will see reporting. However, the listed teacher for any given class in reports will be the lead teacher and co-teachers only see data from the experiences that were assigned after the co-teacher became part of the class.
