DreamBox Math Educator Dashboard: Update an Educator's Role (Administrators)

DreamBox Math school and district administrators may be able to update an educator's DreamBox Math role from the Educator tab in the dashboard. This includes:

  • Make a teacher an administrator at a specific school or across the district.
  • Assign a school administrator to a different school, or additional schools.
  • Remove district or school administrator permissions from an educator.

Note:

  • If your district uses an automated rostering method (Clever, ClassLink, DreamBox ARM), we recommend you update the educator account via automated roster update.
  • Administrators can only update educators with the same or fewer permissions in DreamBox Math.
