Sections on CodeHS can be co-taught by multiple teachers. Co-teachers will have the ability to view and grade student work. They will also have administrative privileges over the Section. You can also collaborate on a course with other teachers using Teacher Permissions. Sharing a course gives teachers the ability to view, edit, or use your course assignments for their own sections, but will not give them access to student work in your Section.

💡 If you have a Pro Starter License, your sections may have a teacher limit. See Plan Information for more detail and reach out to your Customer Success Manager or support@codehs.com if you have any questions.

Click the gear icon to access Course Settings.
Scroll down to the Teacher Permissions section, add the teacher's email, and press Submit.

Co-creating and Editing Shared Assignments

Co-teachers with edit permission can edit custom assignments in their shared courses. From the Assignments App, click edit and make sure to save after making any changes.

You can view information about the assignment in the About tab including the assignment's owner and when it was last edited.
