One of the most requested features we have had this past year has just been released: Co-Teaching!
Google and Canvas
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.
GG4L
If you are using the Global Grid for Learning Single Sign On and rostering, Co-teachers can be added via the GG4L roster file.
Manually adding a Co-Teacher
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.)
Co-teachers have all the same functionality as the lead teacher with one exception โ 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.
