Most of the time, ALL In Learning users are set up as a teacher or an administrator.
- A teacher has access to class rosters and can only view data for their rosters (unless they are part of a PLC).
- Admins do not have access to their own rosters, but they can view teacher data from across their assigned campus.
Some users in Dallas, titled Dallas ISD Demo Teachers, lead data meetings and teach their own classes. Essentially, Demo Teachers serve as a teacher and admin. Even though users can only have access to one user type, ALL In Learning has an easy process that accommodates Dallas Demo Teachers.
Add the Demo Teacher to a PLC (Data Teams)
A PLC (Professional Learning Community, also called a Data Team) is a regular meeting of a department’s teachers (example: 9th grade Science) to review student performance data, collaborate on teaching methods and materials, and set team objectives.
Teachers in PLCs can view the reports for all other teachers that are also in the PLC. The PLC / Data Teams tab is on the left under Reports.
We suggest that an administrator (principal, or assistant principal, for example) at the campus add the Demo Teacher to all of the PLCs that they will be a part of and lead with data.
To create a PLC and assign members, log in to your ALL In Learning account and click on your Administration tab, then click on the PLC / Data Team sub-tab. From here you can create a new PLC, delete existing PLCs, and manage the PLC members. To create a new PLC, click on the Create New button at the top of the page.
Once you've created a new PLC, click on the "Add/Edit Team Members" to add the Demo Teacher then add all the teachers with the necessary data.
On this screen, administrators also have the option to make the Demo Teacher into a Team Leader, which will help them manage the data they see. A Team Leader will be a teacher who has the ability to invite new teachers to the PLC, remove teachers from a PLC, and create brand new PLCs themselves.
Temporarily Give the Demo Teacher Admin Access
Sometimes Demo Teachers may need to support an absent teacher by launching assessments, for example. Thankfully, current administrators can change a teacher’s user type at any time.
Please note: when a demo teacher has admin access, they cannot administer assessments to their classes. We recommend that administrators temporarily give them admin access then change them back to a teacher.
To switch a demo teacher’s access go into your Administration tab, click Teachers & Admins, and change their User Type to "Admin." You can also make a Demo Teacher into a Team Leader here.
If you have any further questions about managing demo teacher accounts, please click the green support button to chat with an agent.
