Assigning Students to a Teacher

Written by Teachworks Support

To allow teachers to view their students' profiles and schedule lessons with them, you must assign the students to a teacher. A student can be assigned to as many different teachers as your workflow requires.

You can complete this connection using either of the two methods below, depending on whether you prefer to update the student profile or the teacher profile:

Method 1 - Assigning from Student Profile

Use this method if you are onboarding a new student and want to assign them to one or more existing instructors.

  1. Click on "Students" and then click on "Students".

  2. Click on "Edit" to edit the student's profile.

  3. Click on the "Profile" tab at the top.

  4. Scroll down to the "Student Details" section.

  5. Click on the "Teachers" field and select a teacher from the menu. Repeat this process for each teacher that you want to assign to the student.

  6. Submit the form to save your changes.

Method 2 - Assigning from Teacher Profile

Use this method if you are onboarding a new instructor and want to assign a batch of existing students to them all at once.

  1. Click on "Employees" and then click on "Employee List".

  2. Click the "Edit" icon in a teacher's row.

  3. Click on the "Employment" tab at the top.

  4. Scroll down to the "Assigned Students" section.

  5. Click on the "Students" field and select a student from the menu. Repeat this process for each student that you want to assign to the teacher.

  6. Submit the form to save your changes

Once saved, the assigned students will instantly appear under the Students tab inside that teacher's account.

Furthermore, these students will now populate the selection dropdowns on the teacher's Calendar and Add Lesson forms.

NOTE: Teachers must have explicit account permissions to add or edit lessons for these dropdowns to be accessible.
