You can create Teachers in School Manager as a Configuration Administrator or a Global Administrator. 

Teacher Role Permissions

Only members of a Teacher group can sign in to Classwize. Users with the Teacher role can, depending on your configuration:

  • Sign in to Classwize as a Teacher using your school's unique Classwize sign in URL
  • Create local and monitor-only classes in Classwize
  • Create rules for their classes
  • Add or remove students from their classes
  • Add or remove teachers in their classes depending on the class group type
  • Use Class Tools to manage their classes 
  • Create recurring class schedules
  • Create codes that allow their students to join their classes or bypass filtering rules
  • Generate reports about their students’ online activities 

Classwize features need to be enabled in your school’s Classwize Configuration page. See Enabling Classwize Features.  

Create Teachers in School Manager

All users have the same privileges in School Manager and Classwize until you assign specific relevant roles and privileges to their groups. For example, Teachers will have the same access as students until you add them to a Teacher group.  

Follow these steps for creating Teachers in School Manager.

Step 1: Create a group for Teachers 

Unless you identify a user as a Teacher in School Manager, they can't access Classwize. 

You first need to create groups for your Teachers using either of the following methods. You can configure as many Teacher groups as necessary. 

Local Manually create a local group within School Manager by going to Configuration > Users and Groups > Groups.
See Adding and Managing Groups for instructions on creating local groups in School Manager.
Synced Create a synced group from your School Information System (SIS) or third-party authentication service (for example, Google Integrations, LDAP, Active Directory) and then synchronise your data in School Manager.
Go to School Manager's Authentication page for instructions on setting up and synchronising your school's relevant authentication service.

 

Step 2: Add users to the Teacher group

Adding users to local Teacher groups

  1. Go to Configuration > Users and Groups > Users and locate the user you want to add to the Teacher group.

  2. Open the user’s page by selecting their account name (usually their email address) or the Edit icon (pencil) on the Operations column. 

  3. Move down to Membership. 

  4. Select the new Teacher group from the Groups dropdown.

  5. Select Save.

You can add a user to multiple local groups. For example, Teacher A can be a member of both Teacher and Administration groups. You can also add synced users to local groups. When you sync your data in School Manager, they will remain in the local group.

Adding users to synced groups

Add users to the Teacher groups you created in your school’s authentication platform, then synchronise them in School Manager. 

Step 3: Configure Teacher groups in Classwize

  1. In School Manager, go to Configuration > Classwize.

  2. Under Teacher Requirements, type or select the name of the Teacher group in the Groups dropdown.  

  3. Move to the bottom of the page and select Save.

  • To remove a group, select the X icon next to the group’s name.
