Inviting Teachers within your District to your School
Transferring Teachers
If a teacher has already been using Showbie at another school within your District, Kommune, or Trust - once invited to your school, they will receive an email inviting them to fill out a Transfer Request form. The teacher should complete the Transfer Request form received via email. Then:
Coordination with Previous School
Our Customer Experience team will contact the Admin at the teacher's previous school to coordinate the transfer and appointment of co-teachers of any active classes.
The Admin at the previous school has 5 days to respond.
Preparation by Transferring Teacher
During this process, the transferring teacher is encouraged to make copies or download any necessary materials from their previous school as in order to maintain student privacy, they will lose access to active classes with co-teachers from their previous school.
Completion of Transfer
Upon confirmation from the previous school's admin, the teacher will be removed from all active classes there and the teacher will be added to your school's Admin Dashboard.
If our team does not receive a response from the previous school's admin within 5 days
The teacher will be removed from any active classes at the previous school
The transfer request will be completed
Transferring Teachers outside of your District
If a teacher has already been using Showbie at another school outside of your District, Kommune, or Trust, they cannot be transferred. You will be able to invite them to join your school using their new school email address.
They will need to create a new Showbie account and will be unable to use the account associated with their previous school.
