How to Add School Teachers

For some schools, multiple teachers may want to use the Zenva Schools platform. Fortunately, the School Admin can add a new teacher to their school at any point. School Admins can also change the status of a teacher from active to not active (and vice versa) as needed.

School Admin vs. Teacher

Before proceeding, you may wonder what the difference is between a School Admin and a Teacher. A School Admin manages every aspect of the school from teachers and students to classrooms and courses. Teachers manage students and classes. They can add students to the school, access student reports, and create classrooms. However, Teachers cannot add new teachers themselves, edit details about the school, or permanently delete any form of data.

 

Adding a teacher

To add a new teacher, the School Admin should:

  1. Log in to their account.
  2. Hover the mouse on the Administration menu link.
  3. Click Teachers on the drop-down menu.


  1. On the next page, click Create Teacher. 


  1. Enter the teacher's name and email address.
  2. Leave the Active user box checked (optional but recommended).
  3. Leave the Send welcome email box checked (optional but recommended).
  4. Click Create.


 Once created, Zenva Schools adds the teacher record to the list.




If you leave the Send welcome box checked, Zenva Schools sends the user a message with a prompt to update their password.



Activating a teacher

The School Admin can choose to add a teacher to the school but set the Active status to no. With this user status, the teacher is blocked from accessing the platform - but any progress they've made on courses for professional development is saved.

To activate (or deactivate) a teacher:

  1. Hover the mouse on the Administration menu link.
  2. Click Teachers.
  3. Locate the teacher's name.
  4. Toggle the active status. If you click Activate, their Active status changes to yes. If you click Deactivate, their Active status changes to no.
