# Set up a Google Classroom teacher

> Sign in to Type the Word as a teacher and verify your Google Classroom courses and rosters.

## Prerequisites

* Your administrator has [enabled Type the Word in Google Workspace](/google-classroom/enable-google-workspace).
* Your school Google account is a teacher in at least one active Google Classroom course.
* The students you expect to teach are enrolled in that course.

## Sign in as a teacher

Go to the [Type the Word login
page](https://www.typetheword.com/auth/login?callbackUrl=%2Fclassroom). Under
**"Get started as…"**, choose **"Teacher"**.

</Frame>

On **"Teacher login"**, select **"Continue with Google"**. Choose the school
Google account you use for Google Classroom, then review and approve the
requested Classroom permissions.

</Frame>

<Note>
  Type the Word confirms the teacher role by looking for at least one active
  Google Classroom course where the selected account is a teacher. If your
  account is not recognized, ask the course owner or a Google Classroom
  administrator to add you as a teacher, accept the invitation, confirm the
  course is active, and then try signing in again.
</Note>

## Verify your classes

After you sign in, Type the Word opens a class. In the sidebar, open the
**"Classroom"** dropdown and confirm the Google Classroom courses you teach are
listed. Select the class you want to check.

</Frame>

Select **"Students"** and compare the roster with Google Classroom. Students who
have signed in show **"Connected"**.

<Frame caption="1 is the &#x22;Students&#x22; heading. 2 is &#x22;Connected&#x22; for a student on the roster.">

## 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](/google-classroom/student-setup).

## Troubleshooting

* **No classes appear:** Confirm you selected the Google account that teaches the course and that the course is active.
* **Google blocks access:** Ask your Workspace administrator to confirm both Type the Word OAuth applications are approved.
* **Teacher role is not recognized:** Confirm you are listed as a teacher in at least one active Google Classroom course and have accepted the invitation. If not, ask the course owner or a Google Classroom administrator to add you, then try signing in again.
* **A student is missing:** Add the student in Google Classroom, then reload Type the Word.
