How to Add a Co-Teacher to an existing section in PowerSchool

Modified on Tue, 22 Mar 2022 at 09:09 AM

Co-Teaching

Co-Teaching provides PowerSchool administrators with the ability to assign multiple lead and additional staff/teachers to a section. The teacher-of-record is the lead teacher, and other staff/teachers are the "additional" teachers.

The administrator can select additional teachers, indicating the role, the percent allocation to the role, and the start and end dates, along with an optional note for each teacher.

A visual indicator is available on several pages in PowerSchool to alert you that more than one teacher shares a section. A Section Teachers icon appears next to a shared section on the Quick Lookup, Bell Schedule, and Modify Schedule pages.
