Teachers
Managing teacher profiles in Optserv OptClass — profiles, schedule assignments, and plan limits.
Teachers are the instructors in your OptClass workspace. They are managed by staff through the /school interface.
Creating a teacher profile
Staff can create a teacher profile with:
- Full name and contact information
- Specialization or subject area (optional)
- Availability (used for schedule building)
- Assigned groups or 1:1 sessions
Teacher limits
| Plan | Max teachers |
|---|---|
| Community (Free) | 15 |
| Business with Access | Unlimited |
The free teacher cap (15) aligns with the free employee cap. This is intentional — teachers are staff-level users in Optserv's backend model.
Teachers vs staff roles
Teachers in OptClass are not the same as staff with the Manager or Employee role. A teacher profile in OptClass is specifically for managing who teaches which classes — it's a scheduling and tracking entity, not an access control role.
A staff member (e.g., an Admin or Employee) can also be a teacher if your company uses staff as instructors.
Assigning teachers to schedules
Once created, teachers are assigned to:
- Group sessions — teaching a class to multiple students on a recurring schedule
- 1:1 sessions — individual sessions with a single student
Assignments are managed in the Schedules module.
Managing teacher workload
From the OptClass workspace, staff can view:
- Which students a teacher is assigned to
- Their upcoming and completed sessions
- Their session delivery history
This helps identify overloaded or underutilized teachers and rebalance accordingly.
