Co-teachers, parents, and course roles

A course in MAP is a living classroom object: students, optional co-teachers, parent grade access, and a lifecycle from developing work to closed archive.

Students

Invite students by the platform’s invite flow (email/username patterns supported in course management). Accepted invites enroll the student. Invites are limited by the per-class seat cap on that paid course instance (see Course purchases, tiers, and student seats).

Co-teachers

Bring colleagues into a course as co-teachers so setup, grading, and day-to-day operations are shared. Transfer patterns exist for handing primary ownership when staffing changes.

Parents

Parent invites grant grade-visibility access appropriate to the course—so families can follow outcomes without needing a full teacher account or student credentials.

Role-aware dashboard

The home dashboard adapts by account type. For a card-by-card breakdown, see What you see on the Dashboard.

Account Settings

Profile, optional organization, email/password, state and time zone, and paid course instances live under Account Settings—see Account Settings: profile, location, and purchases.

Course lifecycle

• Developing / workspace drafts — build safely before students arrive
• Active — day-to-day teaching
• Closed — classroom taking pauses; historic grades remain meaningful
• Trash / restore — soft-delete with restore paths when mistakes happen

Moving a course from Workspace into the Courses folder sets it closed so you reactivate deliberately from the Courses page when ready.

FAQ

Can a co-teacher invite students?

Course management permissions follow who can manage the course. Coordinate with the owner on invites and seat caps.

Do copied courses copy the roster?

Course copies are content-focused: they do not bring along the previous class roster. Only the appropriate owner enrollment is established for the copy.
