CLASS & INSTRUCTOR TOOLS FOR YOUR GROUP
Make it simple for teachers to propose classes, keep instructor details current, and update class information—while your admin team stays in control of what families see.
This sample page shows how class requests, instructor pages, and teacher updates work in Homeschool-Life.
How Classes & Instructors Flow Through Homeschool-Life
Many groups use Homeschool-Life primarily for class listings and instructor visibility rather than full classroom tools. This is the core flow: class ideas come in, admins build classes, instructor pages introduce teachers, and teachers keep key details up to date.
STEP 1 · CLASS REQUEST
Families & Teachers Propose Classes
Give your community a clear place to say, “I’d like to teach this,” or “we’d love to see this topic offered.” Requests stay inside your site instead of getting buried in email and text threads.
- Teachers submit ideas for classes they want to teach
- Parents suggest classes they’d like to see on the schedule
- Leadership views all requests in one central area
STEP 2 · ADMIN BUILD
Admins Create the Official Class
After a request is approved, admins build the official class so your catalog stays consistent and aligned with your group’s policies.
- Set age/grade ranges, dates, and meeting times
- Define fees, locations, and capacity limits
- Assign the instructor and connect the class to your schedule
STEP 3 · INSTRUCTOR PAGE
Instructor Profiles: Public or Members-Only
Each teacher can have an instructor page that highlights who they are and what they teach. Admins choose whether this is visible to the public or only to logged-in members, and how much detail appears.
STEP 4 · CLASS DETAILS
Teachers Keep Class Information Current
Once a class is set up, teachers can update the information families care about most, so admin leaders don’t have to make every small change.
- Refine class descriptions and supply lists
- Add weekly topics or special notes
- Post schedule changes or reminders for families
Admins stay in control of the structure; teachers handle day-to-day updates.
Optional Classroom Tools When Your Group Is Ready
Some groups only need class listings and instructor pages. Others want teachers to manage assignments, communication, and grades inside Homeschool-Life. These tools are available when you’re ready to use them.
Simple “My Classes” View
Teachers see the classes they’re teaching in one place and can click into each to view details, rosters, and whatever tools your group chooses to enable.
Communication in One Place
Teachers can email parents and students or post updates in class conversations, keeping your group’s communication on-platform instead of in personal inboxes.
Optional Classroom Dashboard
If your group wants it, teachers can create assignments, record grades, and take attendance— all tied to the class. If you don’t need this, you simply leave it off.
