How Administrators Can Make Themselves a Co-Teacher in any Class

School and district administrators with a Sirius Online account can assign themselves as co-teachers to any class within their organization. This capability allows administrators to support instruction directly, monitor student progress, and assist with classroom management or data migration tasks. Co-teacher access includes visibility into assignments, grades, and student activity—making it a valuable tool for collaborative oversight and instructional support.

  1. Navigate to the Classes tab.
  2. Locate the class to be added as a co-teacher in, and click Roster.

  1. Click Make me a Co-Teacher.


Once these steps are completed, the administrator will be officially added as a co-teacher for the selected class. This designation grants them full access to class materials, student data, and assignment tracking—enabling them to actively support instruction, monitor progress, and assist with classroom management or data migration as needed.

 

For administrators to then act as the class co-teacher, they will need to click Switch Role under their Profile Icon and select Teacher. As a teacher, you will see classes in which you have made yourself a co-teacher.

Notes
If the Switch Role option isn’t visible, try logging out of your account and logging back in. This often refreshes your permissions and restores missing options.

Alert
In rostered districts using platforms like Clever, ClassLink, or EdLink, administrator-assigned co-teacher access is temporary. This access typically lasts for 24 hours or until the next scheduled data sync with your rostering provider.
Because most districts manage co-teacher roles at the user data level, any updates made during daily syncs—such as role changes or roster adjustments—can override manual assignments.
