Background

Often more than one staff member participates in leading classes. In Edsby, co-teachers and support staff can be added, with one of three roles:

• Teacher: Same capabilities as the primary teachers
• Support: Same as teacher except no access to report cards in the class
• Substitute: Can take attendance and post in the feed, but can’t access academic information such as the gradebook, evidence, perspective, etc.
