When setting up your future Academic Terms, we recommend copying the data from your current term. This will copy over schools, classrooms, and teachers, but not students.
The Classrooms Tab allows you to view all classrooms within your School or District so that you can quickly manage them all in one place.
Adding Teachers Individually
1. From the District Dashboard, click the Teachers Tab to access your teacher list.
2. To add teachers, click on the +Add Teacher button to the left.
3. Begin filling in the information fields for the teacher. Preexisting teacher matches will populate under the Possible Teacher Matches section based on the fields Name and Email. Click the + icon in the Action column to update and add the teacher.
4. Your teacher will be sent an email to activate their account. This email comes from support@digitalreader.com.
*Please note, if you add a teacher who was previously associated with a different district/account, they will be sent an email informing them that your team is requesting to transfer their account into your school or district team. They must confirm the transfer before their account status change is activated. Please contact support@digitalreader.com for any questions.
Reviewing and Editing Teachers
1. From the District Dashboard, click the Teachers button to access your teacher list.
2. The teacher list will allow you to view existing teachers. You can filter by Name, Email, School, Status (Invited, Active), Role (Teacher, Admin, View), Digital Reader (license yes/no), Has Classroom. These filters can help you verify your teachers and classrooms are set up properly.
3. To edit a teacher, click on the Pencil icon to the far right of their name. To remove existing teachers, click on the X icon.
4. If you need to edit or remove a large number of teachers, you can click on Export Teachers to download the current list. Next, make any edits necessary to that list and then re-import the list using the Import Teachers button. Please note that existing teacher records are matched using the teacher's email address. If you need to edit a teacher's email address, you must do this using the edit action (the Pencil icon). *The import will not bulk update email addresses.
Importing Teachers
1. From the District Dashboard, click the Teachers button to access your teacher list.
2. Click the Import Teachers button.
3. From here, click New Teacher Import.
4. Click the Download the Import Template button and complete the template using the Template Key. To UPDATE an existing teacher, ensure that the email address input into the spreadsheet matches the teacher's current email address used when accessing the Digital Reader. If you need to edit a current teacher's email address, use the edit action (the Pencil icon) on the far right of the existing teacher list. *The import will not update email addresses*
5. To assign a teacher to multiple classrooms, add an additional "Classroom" column to the template as shown below in column H. Then input the name of the additional classroom. Please note, all classrooms input underneath either Classroom column must already exist. This template will not create new classrooms based on the Classroom column(s).
