This individual will have access to all of the student data and teacher accounts, and so is normally a member of the SLT or school management team.  It is also useful to have a School Admin who is comfortable with the technical elements of the school's managment information system and the Discovery Education platform.

Some schools also choose to have a subject lead teacher who can manage the resources and content within the platform.

The School Admin has the authority to Bulk Import data from the school's management information system in order to initially create the school accounts.  

They are also able to assign School Admin role to other members of staff.

The School Admin has access to more areas of the Discovery Education platform than designated teachers.  As a school admin, they will see an Admin Dashboard within the Global Navigation menu on the left-hand side of the screen. This will open an area only accessible to School Admins where the school's Discovery Education account can be managed.
