If you don't see any Google Classrooms created for you under your KIPP Texas Google account, remember only teachers who are listed as the primary teacher and assigned sections in Skyward Qmlativ will have Google Classrooms created via Automated Rostering.
A Primary Teacher can invite teachers to join their class to help coordinate class activities.
What can co-teachers do?
Co-teachers can do the same tasks as the primary teacher, except they can't delete a class, remove the primary teacher, or mute another teacher in the class.
Note: Google caps the number of teachers in a Google Classroom at 1 primary teacher and 49 co-teachers. This cap is set by Google and cannot be adjusted. This means only 50 total teachers can have access to a Google Classroom.
