Microsoft Teams makes Office 365 the digital hub for teachers and students, bringing conversations, content and apps together in one place.
Microsoft Teams for Education
Educators can create collaborative classrooms, connect in professional learning communities, and communicate with school staff – all from a single experience in Office 365 for Education.
The Most Efficient Class Workflow
Dedicate more time to your students with these features from Teams:
- School Data Sync automatically populates classes with student rosters connected to the school’s information system.
- OneNote Class Notebooks are built into every class, allowing teachers to organize interactive lessons and deliver personalized learning right from Teams.
- End-to-end assignment management in Teams enables teachers to move quickly and effortlessly from creation and distribution to grading and feedback.
- Apps integrate into the classroom experience, so teachers can quickly access the Office 365 apps they already use – like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Planner – and customize their classroom with education apps.

How Can I Get Microsoft Teams for My School?

Bring Accessible Learning to the Entire Class
Teams’ rich, persistent conversation experience engages students and makes learning visible to all. Teachers can engage students in different ways with text, video and voice integrations, as well as with emojis, stickers and GIFs. This encourages natural behaviours and allows students to interact socially making the learning experience fun and fluid.
Educators can have enhanced control over their class environment, with the ability to delete posts, mute students or pause conversations. This builds a safe, productive learning environment within Teams. These controls are additional to the enterprise-level security and compliance features present for administrators in Office 365.
Connect Beyond the Classroom in a Single Hub
The new features found in Microsoft Teams aren’t limited to classroom collaboration. Built-in professional learning communities (PLC) Notebooks enable sharing and communication between peers, enabling staff to collaborate more easily than ever before.
Teams can bring together any group of students, educators or staff to work together on team or project-based activities.
Persistent conversations with Teams also allows collaborators to share ideas on the go, from anywhere on any device (iOS/Android/Windows phones and Win10/MacOS and Browsers).
