Class Teachers Component

Overview - Class Teachers Component

Are you sure you want to remove this component?

The Class Teacher Component can help students identify who their class teacher is, particularly at the beginning of the year. If your schools allows students to see staff pictures, it may support students and their teacher becoming more familiar with each other. If a teacher finds themselves on another teacher's class page it can also help them quickly identify who the teacher is for that class. At the start of the year, we suggest that you should place the Class Teacher component at the top right of your page. As the year progresses and students are familiar with their teacher, move the component further down the page, or remove it completely to make way for more important collaborative tools. You may also choose to select the 'Collapse Content' check box, to minimise the presence of this component on your page. On this page you will find the following information:

Collapsing the Component

This component can take up considerable space on your page. If you choose to use this component throughout the year, rather than choosing to remove it, it would improve your page to 'Collapse the Component'. This means your users can still view it if required, however it reduces its impact on the page.

​​​​​​1. Unlock your page.
