Within Extempore, you can add a teaching assistant (TA) to your class. Once added, the TA can do everything a typical teacher can do within an account, including...
Creating new assessments
Editing assessments
Scoring and giving feedback on student submissions
If you are adding a TA to a teacher account that is already synced with Google Classroom, see Google Classroom section below.
How to add a teaching assistant to your class on Extempore
Click the paper airplane icon on the class you would like to invite the TA to.
Copy the URL at the bottom and send it to the TA.
If they have an existing Extempore account, they will add the class. Otherwise, they will create their Extempore account to access the class as a TA.
Note: before adding teaching assistants to your class, we recommend discussing the platform with them beforehand so they know how to navigate and use Extempore.
Adding a teaching assistant to a Google Classroom-synced teacher account
When adding a TA to a Google Classroom account, take the following steps to ensure that assignments and student grades sync properly.
Steps for Primary Teacher
Step 1. From Google Classroom, add the co-teacher in by navigating to the class > people > add co-teacher
Step 2. Navigate back to Extempore and follow the steps above to add the same teacher as a teaching assistant.
Step 3. Once your TA has accepted invites from both Google Classroom and Extempore, they should return to Extempore and sync their account with Google Classroom.
