There are different types of roles an educator can be set up as on Summit K12:
Each account will have varying access to classes, users, and data on Summit K12. Typically, these accounts are determined by your administration or your district’s chosen rostering method during onboarding. As partners in education, Summit K12 recognizes there may be unique situations or staffing changes that happen throughout the school year. Submit a request or email support@summitk12.com for additional guidance.
District Admin
A District Admin will have access to all Summit K12 classes, teachers, and reports for the entire district*. This role allows the user to:
- Enroll or remove students and/or Support Teachers in any class
- Reset student passwords
- Lock/unlock assessments and assignments in any class
- Delete classes that are no longer needed
Additionally, District Admins are the only users who can set testing windows for the district.
*If a user needs District Admin access for specific Summit K12 courses, schools, grade levels, or for multiple districts on the LMS, please contact Summit K12 Support to discuss your options.
District Admins will have access to features unique to their role. Below is the District Admin’s Home dashboard.
The Reports dashboard includes links to districtwide reports of all purchased subscriptions*. View Admin Report Dashboard to learn more.
*Dashboard view will vary depending on the subscription purchased.
District Admins can select My Courses and use the dropdown menus to navigate to specific teachers' classes in the district.

- Enroll or remove students and/or Support Teachers in any class
- Reset student passwords
- Lock/unlock assessments and assignments in any class
- Delete classes that are no longer needed

Lead Teacher & Support Teacher
A Lead Teacher is the primary teacher of a Summit K12 class who typically controls all aspects of implementation. Student data will be tied to the class’s Lead Teacher for admin-level reports.
A Support Teacher is a secondary teacher, or co-teacher, of a Summit K12 class. Support Teachers may be other staff members* (teachers, tutors, interventionists, and/or paraprofessionals, etc.) who are supporting Lead Teachers with program implementation.
*The Lead Teacher of one class can be enrolled as a Support Teacher in another class. There is no limit to the number of Support Teachers enrolled in a single class.
A Lead Teacher role allows the user to:
- Enroll or remove students and/or Support Teachers in their class(es)
- Reset student passwords
- Lock/unlock assessments and assignments in their class(es)
- Delete classes they no longer need
Support Teachers of a class will have similar capabilities as the Lead Teacher except for the ability to add/delete groups or enroll other Support Teachers.
After logging in to Summit K12, teachers will see any classes in which they are the Lead Teacher or enrolled as a Support Teacher.
Each class will have its own Reports button where Lead Teachers or enrolled Support Teachers can access all reports offered.
