​
Prerequisites

  • Your school account teaches at least one Microsoft Education class.
  • Your students are members of that class.
  • A tenant administrator is available if Microsoft requests organizational consent.

​
Sign in as a teacher

  1. Open the Type the Word login page.
  2. Choose Teacher.
  3. Choose Continue with Microsoft.
  4. Select your school or work Microsoft account.
  5. Review and approve the requested Microsoft Education permissions.
If Microsoft requires administrator approval, send the supplied consent link to your tenant administrator. After approval, restart these steps with the same school account.

​
Synchronize and verify classes

  1. Wait for the first Microsoft roster synchronization to finish.
  2. Confirm the expected classes appear in Type the Word.
  3. Open one class and select Students.
  4. Compare the roster with Microsoft Teams.
  5. If needed, open class settings and choose Refresh roster.

​
Troubleshooting

  • No classes appear: Confirm you are a teacher in the Microsoft Education class, not only a Teams channel member.
  • Administrator approval required: Complete Microsoft administrator setup, then retry.
  • Roster is out of date: Refresh the roster after correcting membership in Microsoft.
  • Wrong account: Start over and choose the school account for the same tenant as the class.
