Prerequisites

  • Your district administrator has completed Clever administrator setup.
  • Your Clever account is a teacher in at least one shared section.

Launch Type the Word

Sign in to the Clever Portal with your teacher account. Open the Type the Word application. Complete the Clever authorization prompt if it appears, then wait for Type the Word to open a class.
On a shared device, always launch from your own Clever session. Type the Word ends the previous local session before beginning a new Clever login.

Verify your classes

After you sign in, the “Classroom” dropdown in the sidebar lists the classes you teach that are shared with Type the Word. Select the class you want to manage.
Classroom sidebar with the class dropdown open and a numbered arrow pointing at 7th Grade - Literature Class

1 is "7th Grade - Literature Class" in the Classroom dropdown. Your class names will match your Clever sections.

From there, select “Students” and compare the roster with the same section in Clever.

Setup complete

Teacher onboarding is complete when you can open a class and see its expected student roster. Continue by sharing the student setup guide.

Troubleshooting

  • No classes appear: Ask your administrator to confirm your sections are shared with Type the Word.
  • Roster is out of date: Confirm Clever contains the correction. Type the Word syncs your roster nightly. To update it now, follow Manually sync your roster.
