🎯 Purpose
This guide walks administrators through the process of creating and managing Teacher Groups in Otus. Teacher Groups allow administrators to organize teachers and admins by team, grade level, department, or site, making it easier to manage assignments and streamline communication across your district. In this guide, you'll learn how to create a group, add or remove members, edit group details, and delete a group when needed.
Assessment Sharing: Send copies of individual assessments directly to a group of teachers at once.
Assessment Folder Access: Share entire assessment folders with a teacher group for easy, organized access.
Analytics Filtering: Narrow down analytics data by teacher group to surface meaningful performance insights.
