This article provides instructions for accessing My Classroom for users with different roles, including teachers and administrators. It outlines various methods for navigating to My Classroom and addresses potential issues accessing the My Classroom button when a room is not allocated. Additionally, it mentions the next steps for setting up a classroom layout and seating plan.

The best way of getting to My Classroom will depend on your permissions - whether you are linked to a class as a teacher or you're an administrator.

Permissions

• You need Classroom Management: View My Room Layouts to see room layouts and Classroom Management: Administer My Room Layouts to create and modify them.
• You need Classroom Management: View My Seating Arrangements to see room layouts and Classroom Management: Administer My Seating Arrangements to create and modify them.

If you don't have permission, you'll need to ask your admin team to give you permission using these instructions.

I can’t click the My Classroom button

You’ll need to ask the admin team at your school to assign your class a room to allow you to use My Classroom for this class. They'll need to follow these instructions: Check all classes have been given a room
