From the Manage Teachers window, Portal users can search for teachers, view and edit teacher information, designate users as teachers, delete teachers, and export teacher information.
- To search for teachers, open the My Applications menu bar and select Teacher Management to display the Manage Teachers window.
- Enter or select your search criteria and click Find Teachers. Teachers that match your selection criteria display at the bottom of the window.
- What you do next depends on whether the teacher you are searching for exists in the Portal.
- If the teacher exists, they can be associated with test sessions and/or student groups for that district and school.
- If the teacher does not exist, click Add Teacher to designate the teacher in the Portal.
- Click the View/Edit icon (
) to edit the teacher information on the Edit Teacher window. - Click Save when your updates are complete.
You can add teacher records to the Portal one at-a-time, or upload multiple teacher records at once (see “Uploading Multiple Teachers” on page 64). Teachers must be added so they can be associated to student groups, which facilitate creating test sessions. A teacher can quickly create test sessions for the testers within a student group. In some areas of the Portal, you can filter students based on a teacher or student group.
Note: Teachers must have a student group assigned to them before they can display their students’ information in the Portal.
Tip 1: Do not designate Teachers in Teacher Management prior to adding the Teacher as a user in User Management.
Tip 2: Users with a teacher role added through UI or Multiple User Upload will now be seamlessly integrated into Teacher Management. No manual addition is required. The automated process runs daily every two hours, with the first run at 10 am and the last run at 4 pm CST. If teachers are not visible in teacher management or student group management after uploading them as users, please allow up to 24 hours for the system to sync.
