How do I add a co-teacher to my class?

Collaborating with other educators allows for shared planning and assessment of students. SpacesEDU enables you to invite co-teachers to your digital classroom, providing them with the same access and permissions as the primary teacher.


Before You Start


  • Access Level: Co-teachers will have full access to the class, including student work, assessments, and class settings.
  • Email Verification: Ensure you have the correct school-associated email address for the teacher you wish to invite.
  • Account Status: The invited teacher will receive an email notification to join the class.


Steps to Add a Co-Teacher

Follow these instructions to invite one or more colleagues to your class:


  1. Log in to your SpacesEDU account and select the Class you want to share.
  2. Click the People tab located in the top navigation bar.
  3. Select the Teachers sub-tab.
  4. Click the Invite Teachers button.
  5. Input the teacher's email address.
    • Note: Once you finish typing the first email address, an additional box will appear if you wish to invite multiple teachers.
  6. Click Add 1 Teacher (or the button reflecting the total number of invites).


Sent invitations will immediately appear in your Teacher tab with a "Pending" status until accepted.


Managing Sent Invitations


If an invitation was sent to an incorrect email address or is no longer required, you can revoke it:


  1. Navigate to the People tab and select Teachers.
  2. Locate the pending invitation and click the three dots (context menu) to the right of the email address.
  3. Select Delete Invitation.
  4. Confirm the deletion to immediately invalidate the link.
