Adding a Co-Teacher to a TBA course

Co-Teacher: Assigning for a TBA teacher

A co-teacher needs to be added in order to have access to online instructional materials or for a teacher to have gradebook access. Within Focus, administrators have gradebook access to all teachers without being added as a co-teacher. However, if the administrator needs access to online textbooks, they will need to be added as a co-teacher. Attendance will be done through the front office Administration tab. Subs assigned as a TBA will not have access to attendance, gradebook or online instructional materials. **Please note that not all vendors of online resources will accept the addition of a co-teacher to provide access. Please reach out to subject area content specialists in Leading and Learning with questions about which resources provide access to assigned co-teachers.
