# Set up a Google Classroom teacher

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

* 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

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Type the Word">
    Go to the [Type the Word login
    page](https://www.typetheword.com/auth/login?callbackUrl=%2Fclassroom)
    and choose **Teacher**.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve access">
    Select the school Google account you use for Google Classroom, then
    review and approve the requested Classroom permissions.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Type the Word verifies that the selected Google account belongs to a
  teacher. If Google reports a student account, start over and choose
  **Student** instead.
</Note>

## Verify your classes

1. Open **Classes** if you are not taken there automatically.
2. Confirm the expected courses appear.
3. Open one course and select **Students**.
4. Compare the roster with Google Classroom.

## 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.
* **Wrong role message:** Start over from the login page and choose the role that matches the Google account.
* **A student is missing:** Add the student in Google Classroom, then reload Type the Word.

## 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).
