# Teacher bulk import — sample files

## Files

| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `teacher-import-sample.csv` | Example teachers for testing the importer |

## Before you import

1. **Subjects** — Create subjects under **Academics → Subjects**. Use exact subject names in `specialization` so teachers auto-link to courses.
2. **School domain** — Required for login accounts. Set under **Settings → School**.

## Import steps

1. Go to **Teachers → Import**
2. Upload `teacher-import-sample.csv` or download the template from the import page
3. Map columns (auto-map usually works)
4. Enable **Create teacher login accounts** as needed
5. Run **Dry run**, then **Import**
6. **Download credentials CSV** immediately after import

## Column notes

- `secondarySpecializations`: separate multiple subjects with `|` or `;` (e.g. `Science|Physics`)
- `joiningDate`: use `YYYY-MM-DD`
- `email`: personal email (optional); school login email is generated when accounts are created
