Teachers are those who have been invited to the Backpack teacher group created during setup. In Backpack, teachers manage rosters, view student artifacts, and collaborate with students on showcases. If a student needs help, teachers can also associate artifacts to a skill for students.

When a teacher logs in, their view is different than the Admin and Student views. Teachers see the following cards:

Rosters

Showcase Feedback Requests, if a student has requested feedback

Custom, if created for the teacher role

The feedback requests page works much like an inbox. From here teachers can.

• Access pending student feedback requests
• Provide feedback in the form of comments on the work
• Resolve feedback
• Re-open resolved feedback
