Settings Tabs Basics

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.

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.
