Can a user have multiple coaches? Is there a way to add a co-teacher?

Co-teaching functionality was introduced for classrooms in the Khan Academy Districts and Learning Paths programs. You can go here to learn more about these programs. 

If you do have a Khan Academy Districts and Learning Paths classroom, you can learn more about how to use this feature here: Learning Paths, Khan Academy Districts.
 

A user can have any number of coaches. However, teachers who are not using Learning Paths or Khan Academy Districts cannot co-teach a class in the sense of sharing assignments. Each teacher manages their own assignments, and only the teacher who created an assignment can view its reports and results.

However, multiple teachers can still work with the same students and view their progress. There are two ways to do this:

1. Share a single teacher account.
   One teacher creates the class, and both teachers sign in using the same teacher account. This is the only way for both teachers to access the same assignments, reports, and assignment results.

2. Have each teacher create their own account.
   One teacher creates the class, and the second teacher creates their own teacher account. Students then join the second teacher's class using the class code or by accepting the teacher's email invitation.

   In this setup:

   • Both teachers can view the students' overall progress and learning activity.
   • Assignments, assignment reports, and other class-specific data are not shared between teacher accounts. Each teacher can only see the assignments they created.

Note: Students only need one Khan Academy account. They do not need separate student accounts for each teacher. Once students have joined both classes, each teacher can view their progress, but assignment information remains tied to the teacher account that created it.

Now, if you're a teacher who'd like to transfer your class and/or assignments to the next year's teacher, we do have a workaround!

While Assignments data (such as reports and scores, for example) is only visible to the teacher who created the class and cannot be transferred, Unit missions can be used by future teachers to leverage the work the students have already done on their accounts.

Unit Missions look at the mastery of an entire course, so any mastery already achieved by your students in that course is accounted for and should be retroactively updated! Please refer to our article: How do I create Unit Missions for my students? for more details.

This means that while the next year's teacher won't be able to access Assignments data (since they’re tied to the old class), any Unit Mission the teacher sets on the new class should still consider the existing progress on the students’ accounts. They would need to create a new class, enroll their students, and create the Unit Missions for them.
