Resources for setting up classes in Microsoft Teams.
Create a class team in Microsoft TeamsCreated by Microsoft Teams for Education
Class teams have unique permissions and features for teachers and students. As owners of the team, teachers assign work, share class content, start meetings, and control who can post in the team. Each class team is also linked to its own OneNote Class Notebook.
Note: Not seeing an option to Join or create a team? Your IT Admin may need to turn on these permissions for you.

If your school is using School Data Sync (SDS), your IT Admin can create groups based on your classes and their rosters. Choose the group as you create your team to automatically add your students and set up your class team.
Note: Not sure if you have groups set up for your class yet or what their names might be? Check with your IT Admin. Learn more about setting up Teams as an IT Admin.
