How can I add multiple teachers at once?

In this article, we'll cover how to add multiple teachers to your account quickly.

 

Start in the Enterprise Management Panel and click Import.

To import teachers, click Go to Import Teachers.

Click here to download the template.

Downloading this template will give you a spreadsheet file with a .CSV (comma-separated values) that is pre-formatted exactly how it needs to be in order to bulk-add students to Off2Class. All you need to do is fill it out! 


The importer will only upload new teachers. If you attempt to upload a file with teachers who already exist the importer will throw an error. 


Here, you can also see the required and optional fields.

Open the file in your preferred file app and fill out the rows. Once complete, save the file as a .csv

Ensure that you keep all header information in the file even if the rows do not contain information. Uploading a file without all header information can result in a failed import. 


The student capacity and class name fields are optional.


Only fill out the student capacity field if you want to restrict the number of students a teacher can roster. In the example below, Matthew has no limit, and Matt has a limit of 10. If your global limit (the total number of student seats you pay for) is hit, no teachers will be able to add any more students until space is made available. 


If you fill out the class name fields, class(es) will be created when the file is uploaded. The classes that get created will not be editable, so if you want teachers to have the ability to change the name of the class(es), you’ll need to make it editable


Important: Use unique class names (i.e. avoid having multiple classes with the same name). If multiple classes have the same name, this can make managing the classes difficult. Also, if students are added to a class, and the teacher of the class is not their assigned teacher, this may cause error messages for the teacher. 


Back in Off2Class, click Choose File and select your file. After you have selected your file, click Upload. 

Click Create Teacher(s).

In some cases, an error message might appear and/or some rows might be highlighted. See the next step if that happens.
