Class Rostering - Teacher managed roster Follow
In this article:
Teacher managed roster overview
Allowing teachers to manage their own rosters takes the task off the hands of the Hāpara administrator. Teachers can create ad-hoc classes for classes that have a rotation of students, after-school programs or even detention or suspension scenarios. Teachers can also sync Hāpara with Google Classroom to pull over rosters already being used. Integrating those Google Classrooms with Hāpara also increases teacher functionality.
Teacher managed rosters can be turned on as an additional method of rostering or in an exclusive setting where no other loading methods are used.
Roster options
To enable the use of teacher managed rosters, follow the steps below:
1. Navigate to Class rostering from the Hāpara Admin Console home page.
2. Click Teacher managed roster.
Allow manually created classes
There are times when certain groups of students aren't rostered together in an already existing class. This could be students who are in and out of a class regularly, such as when a librarian or media specialist monitors students during a lunch period. Classes such as these can be created on the fly and students can be added to and removed from this class at a moment's notice.
Allow classes to be synced from Google Classroom
Teachers may already use Google Classroom regularly and can bring those already existing class rosters to Hāpara. All of the management of those classes will be done in Google Classroom but can be synced with Hāpara as new students come and go. Students must accept the Google Classroom invitation to show up as active students in Hāpara.
Users that can add classes
When either of these options are enabled, a Google Group will need to be added per school to validate that those teachers have permission to access Teacher Dashboard, unless there are already teachers validated through an admin managed roster.
These groups can be added so that they have access to add or sync classes in any school. Or individual groups can be added per school if you would like users to only add classes at a school they are a member of.
To add a Google validation group, follow the steps below:
1. Click to Add Google Group for Users in this group can add classes to any school to add a single Google group.
2. Type in the name of the Google group and click Validate.
3. Verify that this is the Google Group you would like to use by checking the first three users in that group. If the group is correct, click Save.
For example, if you already use the classroom_teachers@domain.org Google Group to validate teachers in Google Classroom, you can add this single group. Keep in mind that any teacher in this Google Group will be able to add classes to any school. But as long as teachers can only see their own classes in Teacher Dashboard, they won't be able to view classes in any other school.
Otherwise, a Google Group can be added per school, such as elem_teachers@domain.org or ms_teachers@domain.org, to further restrict the schools these teachers have access to.
4. To add a Google validation group per school, repeat the steps above, but click Add Google Group for each school listed.
