      Google Classroom - Instructor Change Work-Around

      Google has very strict permissions in regards to Classroom Owners- we are limited in how we can change the owner of the class in Google Classroom, but we do have a work around for the time-being as these situations arise.

       

       

      Scenario: Teacher leaves school and needs to put a new Primary teacher on the class in School Pathways

      Work Around: Do NOT delete the old instructor. They will need to remain on the class. These steps will need to be followed exactly. Step 4 being critical. 

       

      1. Edit the class (Teachers>CMS Classroom Management>desired class)

      2. Add the new instructor of the class- DO NOT set the primary checkbox at this time. That will come later.

        • Do NOT delete the Previous Instructor- they must remain on the class for this work-around.

      3. Save the class

      4. Important: The New Instructor MUST now accept the teacher invite before proceeding

      5. Admin Function: Admin>Settings>Security>Security>Define Users

        • Search for the previous instructor who has left and use the “Jump” to jump as them

        • Once jumped as them, navigate to the top right corner of the screen and click the down arrow>Account Settings

        • Click “Unlink” in the Google Account area. You can now close out the tab

      6. Navigate back to the class and Edit (Teachers>CMS Classroom Management>Desired Class>Edit pencil)

      7. Switch out the primary checkboxes so the previous instructor does NOT have it selected and the new instructor DOES. 

        • In the screenshot below: Ryan is the new instructor and Kacie is the old one.

      8. Save and Exit the class
