Train Your Teachers
Inviting Your Teachers to Log In
To kickstart the LiveSchool journey, it's essential to invite educators to create their accounts. Here are the simple steps:
Site Leaders should invite educators to create their accounts.
Educators will receive an email from support@liveschoolinc.com with a personalized link to create their accounts.
Upon accessing the link, they'll confirm their title and name, set a password, and activate their accounts.
Full Training (1 hour)
For a comprehensive understanding of LiveSchool, consider a full training session:
Here's a structured approach:
Teacher Training Deck: Use the Teacher Training deck during professional development to introduce LiveSchool. Customize the slides to align with your school's vision, emphasizing the purpose of LiveSchool.
Setting Expectations: Engage teachers in a discussion about the school's behavior rubric, clarifying expectations for students and explaining the reasons behind them. Understanding the "Why" behind LiveSchool enhances its role in supporting positive behavior.
Point System: Explain the school's chosen point system, whether it tracks positive and negative behaviors or focuses solely on positive ones. Clarify how negative points may affect a student's overall balance.
Rewards and Motivation: Highlight how accumulated points lead to rewards, such as accessing a reward store, point goal rewards, or House Points. Emphasize the positive impact on student motivation.
Feedback Loops: Introduce the feedback loops available to students and parents through Student and Parent Accounts and Recaps. Encourage teachers to engage with these features for improved communication and student development.
Quickstart/Refresher Training
For time-constrained situations or quick refreshers, these options work well:
LiveSchool Onboarding Videos: Share a video playlist guiding teachers on creating and managing rosters, awarding points, customizing settings, viewing house assignments, redeeming rewards, and more.
LiveSchool in 20 Minutes Deck: Customize a brief training deck for a quick rundown of essential LiveSchool tasks.
LiveSchool in 20 Minutes Video: Share a video tutorial where a LiveSchool expert demonstrates setup and key features. Visual guides speed up the learning process.
Teacher Quick Start Guide: Email teachers the Teacher Quick Start Guide, a concise, step-by-step reference for using LiveSchool efficiently.
