Assistant teachers
Give a class assistant teachers beside its main teacher: they see and work on the whole class without being in charge of it.
A class has one main teacher, who is in charge of it. Beside them it can have any number of assistant teachers, who help run the whole class.
Who can do this: Managers, and staff given Edit Staff & Access.
Make someone an assistant teacher
Open Users / Employees and edit the teacher (or add a new one).
Under Classes & Subjects, tick the class.
Beside it, tick Assistant.
Select Save Changes.
Good to know: A person is either the main teacher or an assistant of a class, never both. Drivers can't be either.
What an assistant teacher can do
| Main teacher | Assistant teacher | Subject teacher | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Every subject of the class | Yes | Yes | Only theirs |
| Take the class's attendance | Yes | Yes | No |
| Students' pages | Every subject | Every subject | Their subjects |
| The class's lessons on their calendar | Yes | Yes | Their subjects |
| Edit the class schedule | Yes | No | No |
| In charge of the class | Yes | No | No |
Tip: What anyone can do still depends on their permissions too: an assistant takes attendance only if they hold Mark Attendance.
