What can administrators always view and update from the Settings tabs?
- Adjust settings not associated with rosters, like selecting the print program or assessment at the district or school level, determining what all teachers at a district or school will see when they create assignments.
- Create custom student groups across classrooms and schools and see the usage and growth data for these student groups.
Can some administrator settings options be locked for administrators?
Yes. District IT teams that update rosters using Clever or ClassLink often turn off the ability for administrators to:
- Create or update educators in the Educators tab.
- Create classrooms, students, and staff members by uploading Student and Educator spreadsheets
- Update classroom rosters through the dashboard Bulk Move/Copy tool.
Why would a district do this?
When an administrator updates students, educators, or classroom rosters separately from their district IT team it can affect students' and educators' access to DreamBox Math.
