How teachers get set up to manage their teacher website.
Watch the entire 8-minute video above, or if you would like to jump to specific parts of the video, click one of the links below (these links will launch a new window.)
Teachers typically log in to the school's main website to do four main things:
- Manage their personal/teacher website
- Update their public-facing directory profile
- Manage specific content they have been granted access to by the administration
- Access the school's private intranet pages
Login Setup
Clever: If your school uses Clever, your teachers can be set up to use their Clever logins. Reach out to SchoolStatus support if you are not already set up. We can help you get this set up so that your users can login to SchoolStatus using their Clever logins.
Google and Microsoft: Teachers will learn how to log in for the first time using their email and temporary password they were provided. They can then easily set up Google or Microsoft authentication by following the simple steps in this video.
Provision Teacher Site (Personal Site)
Teachers will learn how to provision their personal website. We'll also discuss the difference between a class website (having multiple owners) and a personal/teacher website (having a single owner).
