What can teachers always view and update from the Settings tabs?
- See classroom rosters and student details on the Roster tab.
- Adjust student settings not associated with rosters like student login credentials, language in DreamBox Maths, and students' learning environment.
- Adjust classroom settings like engagement restrictions, password type, and academic standards in the Settings sections tabs.
Settings Icon: Can some classroom settings options be locked for teachers?
Yes. District IT teams that update rosters using Clever or ClassLink often turn off the ability for teachers to:
- Add or remove students from their classrooms.
- Add or remove teachers from their classrooms.
Why would a district do this?
When a teacher updates students or teachers manually from their dashboard it can create issues for those students or teachers that could affect their access to the program.
