How to Manage Classes

Classes in Brisk help teachers track student progress, organize activities, and assign rubrics and grading criteria.

Rostered Classes

If your district or school is syncing roster data with Brisk, your classes will be automatically populated — no manual setup needed. A few things to know:

• Student data syncs nightly, so new students will appear in your classes automatically.
• Teachers can edit class name from the manage classes page so that they can easily differentiate sections within Brisk.  
• If teachers remove a rostered class, it will be re-added during overnight refreshes if it has not been removed from their roster as well.

Creating a Class

If your district or school has not rostered classroom data, or you'd like to set up your own groups, you can easily create your own classes. 

1. Click the Home icon from your Brisk Extension to navigate to app.briskteaching.com. 
    

   

    

2. Click your initials in the upper right corner and select Manage Classes.
   

    

3. Click + Add Class. 
4. Enter your class name and Create. 
5. Click the three dots by your new class to 
   • edit the class name, change access to Brisk Boost extension, switch how students access their Boost activities for the class.
   • copy the class code to share the class URL with students,
   • view extension assignments for that class if you have any,
   • share with co-teachers,
   • or archive the class.

💡 You can also create a new class while setting up Boost Activities.

Archiving / Restoring a Class

If your district or school has not rostered classroom data, and you'd like clear out some of your classes you can archive them.

Archive a class

1. Click the three dots next to a class and click Archive—OR select all or multiple and click Archive
2. Click on the Archived tab to see your archived classes

Archiving does not delete any enrollment, activities, or assignments.

Restore an archived class

1. Click the Archived tab
2. Click the arrow icon under Restore—OR select all or multiple and click Restore

Restoring bring back any enrollment, activities, or assignments from the class.

Adding Students to a Class

Students will need to join your class for you to see their progress. 

Boost Activity 

Copy the activity link and share it with students wherever you usually post assignments. Once they access your activity, they will be added to your class. 

Boost Student Extension 

Navigate to the Manage Classes page, and click the three dots next to your class. Select "Copy Class Code" and share that link wherever you normally share assignments. Once students join with that code and access the student extension, they will be added to your class. 

Sharing a class with a co-teacher

If you co-teach an entire class — with a special education teacher, a paraprofessional, an MTSS coordinator, or a substitute — you can give them view-only access to everything assigned to that class, instead of sharing each Boost Activity one at a time. 

Once someone is a co-teacher on the class, they automatically see every activity and bundle assigned to it, including anything you assign later.

If your district syncs rosters: Anyone listed as a non-primary teacher on the class in your Student Information System is added as a co-teacher automatically. There's no invite to send, and they can only be removed by updating the roster in your SIS.

To add a co-teacher manually:

1. Go to Manage Classes and open the three-dot menu for the class.
2. Select "Share with co-Teachers."
3. Enter your colleague's email and send the invite. They must already be rostered at your district — inviting someone outside your district returns an error.
4. Your co-teacher is notified by email. In the Shared with Me tab within Manage Classes, they will see every activity and bundle from the class, labeled "Shared by [your name] • From [class name]."

Managing Class Settings

When you select "Edit Class" from the Manage Classes page, you can also configure a few key settings for students within that class.

🔐 Student Access - Login Method Choose how students sign in when joining a Boost Activity:

• Email Login — Students log in once and can access future activities and revisit past work from any device.
• Name Only Login — Students just enter their name to get started. They'll need to stay on the same device to return to in-progress activities.

📋 Rubric Optionally upload a rubric to your class. When a rubric is attached, Brisk will use it to guide AI feedback on student work, and students will see it when requesting feedback.

• You can only upload one rubric per class at a time.
• If you'd like students to receive feedback across multiple assignments without a single rubric anchoring all responses, leave this field empty — students can upload their own rubric or include instructions in their prompt instead.

👩‍💻Student Extension (Brisk Boost) The Student Extension Enabled checkbox controls whether students in this class can use the Brisk Boost student extension. Unchecking this disables the extension for those students.

⚠️ Note: This setting affects students across all classes, not just the one you're editing. Other teachers may also re-enable Boost for your students.
