Adding SLT members to all Google classrooms as teachers

[GBallard]

I cannot find a way to add SLT to teachers in all classrooms. I am new here so I cant find a way to see all teachers classrooms that they have created as I am not a teacher to all classes. Is there a way through Admin console to do that? Thanks

Nope, you need GAM for that

 

gam print courses | gam csv - gam course ~id add teacher <>

Thanks for your help I am new at this, I didnt even know about Gam until you said. Its setup now. cheers

I'd seriously think again about doing this, it'll be overwhelming for them and Classroom's UI gets sluggish if you're a member of lots of classes.

Why do SLT need to be added to all classes? What is the reasoning?

the answer i was given was

1. they need to be able to access all classrooms at any time.

Oh are they in for a surprise...

Warn them of the pitfalls, so you can forward that email back to them when they come back to you with them.

The amount of emails they're going to get. The slowness of the interface with over 100 classes...

Works fine in a small primary - but in a secondary it won't work as the Classroom UI is pretty much unusable with >50 classes. I've got a Google sheet that they tick which class they want to look at each day. Then there is a script that exports this to a csv file and a GAM script that adds a test account to the relevant classes. They just use the test account to poke about. The sync to SIMS kicks the test account out at the end of the day and they pick new ones afresh.
