Head of School or Subject Observer Role
It would be very helpful to have an 'observer' or 'manager' role. We are a school and heads of subject or departments want to be shared owners of several classes, but do not want to be active teachers. (I could imaging in the business world, a department manager may want such an 'observer' role too.) If someone is an observer/manager/moderator, they would be able to easily control the number of notifications they get to reduce the amount of noise these can create when you belong to a lot of different teams. As they belong to a large number of teams, they do not want to have to do this on a team-by-team and channel-by-channel basis. Thanks.

PLEASE ADD THIS FEATURE SOON! It would make entering and exiting classroom so much smoother. It causes a break in instruction when the teacher has to instruction to allow an administrator or an instructional coach has to come into the meeting.

Yes. This is very much needed. Last night during a parent teacher meeting, a parent inadvertently took over the presentation

This feature would solve so many issues for my team. We are pulled in many different directions and every moment I have is so very valuable. I need to have access to a class without waiting 10-15 minutes for a teacher to admit me. Please provide me with access to enter each of our instructional environments as needed.

This role should also include Designated District observers. Our District is divided into Zones and, in my role as Zone Director, I observe, on a weekly basis, classes in all schools I supervise.

Please add an observer role soon! Right now I have had to add my principal as a co-teacher for my classes. Putting him in as a student makes entering grades more challenging because I have to remember to skip him every time. If there was a way to default it so that the observer didn't get notifications, that would be amazing. I'm sure that with 160+ teachers and 6-8 classes per teacher he is bombarded with notifications.
