Do you have a teacher going on leave, switching schools, or partnering with a co-teacher? If so, you can easily assign a new teacher to an existing teacher's classes from the Admin Dashboard. The new teacher will be added as a co-teacher in the assigned classes. As a co-teacher, they can then manage content, assignments, and student submissions.

How to Assign Classes

  1. In the Admin Dashboard, navigate to the Teachers tab and search for the teacher whose classes you need to access.

  2. Click the teacher’s name to open their Teacher Overview, where you’ll see a list of their classes along with the corresponding class codes. Copy the required class codes.

  3. Next, return to the Teachers tab and search for the teacher who needs to be added to the classes. Click their name to open their Teacher Overview.

  4. Click Assign Classes, paste the copied class codes, and select Assign Class to confirm.

  5. Once assigned, the new teacher will immediately have access to the class content and student work.

✍️ Assigning classes does not remove the original teacher unless they are manually removed from the Admin Dashboard.

Keeping Classes Secure

In addition to making it easy to add teachers to classes, this method helps keep your data secure by ensuring that only the appropriate teachers have access to class content.

If a teacher is leaving your school, we recommend assigning their classes to another teacher using this method before removing the teacher from the Admin Dashboard.

Additional Notes

  • Use the “Copy Class Codes” option on a teacher’s overview page to copy all of their class codes at once.

  • Clicking an individual class code will copy only that specific class code.

  • Classes cannot be assigned to another teacher if they have a co-teacher who is not an approved teacher at your school.

  • Assigning classes to teachers bypasses any class join settings.

  • If a teacher was previously blocked from a class, assigning them to that class will restore their access.

  • If a class cannot be assigned through the Admin Dashboard (for example, if it contains an external co-teacher), the co-teacher can still join manually, with the current teacher approving their request.
