Can teachers share an easyCBM account?

Yes they can. While our easyCBM Lite and Deluxe versions are individual teacher​​ accounts, some smaller schools (with less than 200 students) can share one account with more than one teacher.

It is worth noting that no matter how many teachers share one account, there will still be a 200 student limit (which cannot be expanded) and two accounts cannot be merged together or students transferred to other accounts.

In determining whether to share one account or create several accounts, it is best to look ahead to what you project your needs to be based upon the account student limit and the length of testing over time you will want to do.

While you can share one account, another option may be to purchase an account by grade or grade bands. If you do not predict a need for individual grade accounts, you could look to less accounts grouped by grade bands like grades K-2, and grades 3-5. That would allow for student growth over time and keeping like students data grouped together.

For privacy concerns, only the account owner can request account changes and give/share access to their account. All teachers access the account with the same login information but since this account is owned by an individual teacher, only that person can decide who to give out their login information. The account owner should also be the only person to manage students and account settings.

Since students can be assigned to multiple groups, individual teachers can create their own single or multiple group(s) and students can be assigned to multiple groups (this is for testing and reporting needs).
