Teachers can add a co-teacher to a class. There are two ways to add co-teachers: one at a time using their email address, or by CSV (spreadsheet) upload.
💡 Tip from the Otus Team: once a co-teacher is added to a class, we highly recommend that the co-teacher is made aware that they are now a co-teacher on that class, and that they will now see the class tile in their Classes module. This helps to avoid confusion and the accidental archiving or deleting of classes!
❗Please Note - if your school is rostered using Clever, you will need to be added as a co-teacher in Clever in order for it to remain permanent in Otus.
To Add Co-Teachers One at a Time:
Step 1: Navigate to the Classes module
Step 2: Select Class Info
Step 3: Choose the correct class.
Step 4: Navigate to the teacher section.
Type in the full email address (do not add a space after the email) .
Hit ENTER on your keyboard.
Select the email address (it will pop up just beneath the search bar).
Select Add.
Select Save.

💡 Tip from the Otus Team: co-teachers do have the ability to archive or delete classes. If they archive or delete a class from within their account, it will also archive or delete that class from the main teacher as well. To avoid confusion and accidental deletion, we highly recommend reminding your co-teachers not to archive or delete classes unless they are specifically asked to do so.
