Teachers

What it does

The Teachers page maintains your faculty roster and shows how many classes and students each teacher is assigned to. You can add new teachers, filter by employment status or subject, export the roster, and jump to the timetable to manage their schedules.

Who uses it

• Principal / School Admin — monitor faculty count, subject coverage, and teaching assignments.
• Registrar — add teachers; assign them to classes and departments.

Common tasks

View the teacher roster

The page opens with a grid of teacher cards.

• Total faculty — active vs. inactive teacher counts.
• Avg class load — average number of classes per teacher.
• Students taught — total enrollments across class assignments.
• Subjects covered — unique subjects across the school.

Each card shows name, job title, subjects taught (up to 4 pills), and counts for students/classes/subjects.
