How to Add a Co-Teacher
Adding a co-teacher allows you and another teacher to assign articles and monitor students’ activity. As a co-teacher, you will be able to take the following actions:
view your co-teachers assignments
see your shared students' annotations, write responses, and quiz scores
create assignments to a shared group of students
Both teachers must be associated with the same school on Newsela. Follow these steps to add a co-teacher for different types of classes:
