Student Licensing

Students must have the appropriate TeachTown license assigned before they can access licensed TeachTown content.

Teachers are responsible for assigning the appropriate TeachTown license to students who need access.

Important: Being rostered through Clever does not necessarily mean that a student has been assigned a TeachTown license. Teachers should verify that the appropriate license has been assigned to the student.

Sign in to TeachTown through the PBSD Clever Portal.
Locate the student who needs TeachTown access.
Follow the TeachTown license assignment instructions to assign the appropriate license to the student.
Verify that the student can access the appropriate TeachTown content.

Tip: If a student can sign in to TeachTown but cannot access the expected content, verify that the student has been assigned the appropriate TeachTown license.
