# Set up a Microsoft Teams teacher

> Sign in to Type the Word as a teacher, synchronize Microsoft Education classes, and verify your roster.

## 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](https://www.typetheword.com/auth/login?callbackUrl=%2Fclassroom).
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.

<Warning>
  If Microsoft requires administrator approval, send the supplied consent link
  to your tenant administrator. After approval, restart these steps with the
  same school account.
</Warning>

## 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](/microsoft-teams/admin-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* **Roster is out of date:** Refresh the roster after correcting membership in Microsoft.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.

## Setup complete
