Adding new classes/groups

 Note

The steps in this article apply if you have selected to self-roster accounts individually or you are making manual changes with automated rostering.

This article applies to the following products:

  • Imagine Language & Literacy, Imagine Español, Imagine Reading, and Imagine Lectura
  • Imagine Galileo K–12
  • Imagine MyPath, Imagine Science Corner, Imagine Purpose

Both Teachers and Administrators can add new classes/groups in the products listed above.

Students must be assigned to a class/group in order for educators to view their data. You can add students to a group as part of the group creation process, or return and add students later after you create the group.

To add a new class/group:

  1. Log in to the Product Portal and click Users & Classes/Groups.

    The table below explains each field. Required fields are marked with a red asterisk (*).
    Field Description
    Group Name* Enter the name of the class or group.
    External Assigned ID This is an optional field. If you use a SIS, you can enter the External ID associated with this class or group. It will display when you view/edit the class or group, but it will not display in reports within the Imagine Learning products.
    Organization* Select the school the class or group is part of. Click the magnifying glass to see the list of available options.
    School Administrators: You will only be able to select your own school.
    District Administrators: You may select any school within your district.
    Educators

    Administrators are automatically able to view data for all classes/groups in their assigned school(s). However, Administrators must be assigned to groups in order to create playlists in Imagine Language & Literacy and assignments in Imagine MyPath. If the Administrator will be facilitating the class, then assign them to the group.

    In all cases, Teachers must be specifically assigned to classes/groups to view their students' data.

    Educators is an optional field upon creating the class or group, but eventually you should assign each class/group at least 1 Teacher. 

    Click the magnifying glass to bring up a list of available educators. If you haven't yet created the educator, you can add them to the class/group later during the educator account's creation or by editing the class/group after making the educator's account.
