Purpose

Get a classroom teacher productive in AmplifyED in about five minutes.

Who uses it

Classroom teachers and co-teachers.

What you'll do

  1. Sign in to your teacher portal.
  2. See your assigned students.
  3. Review any active interventions.
  4. Submit a referral for a student you're concerned about.
  5. Add feedback on an existing case.
  6. Message the assigned coach.
  7. Tune your notifications.

Step-by-step

1. Sign in

Open the invitation email and follow Your first login. After signing in, you land on your Teacher Portal.

2. Your students

The portal lists every student assigned to you, grouped by class period if your admin imported homerooms. Each card shows:

  • Name and grade
  • Any open coaching case (color-coded by status)
  • Recent attention flags (absences, behavior, grades)

[SCREENSHOT: teacher-quickstart-my-students] Teacher Portal → My students for a new teacher just after first sign-in, showing 8 assigned students grouped by grade.

3. Active interventions

Click any student to see:

  • Open cases with the assigned facilitator's name.
  • Active interventions (what is being tried right now).
  • Most recent note from the coach (you see notes flagged "share with teacher").

4. Submit a referral

If a student needs support that isn't already a case:

  1. From the student card, click Refer for support.
  2. Pick the concern: Academic, Behavior, Attendance, or Other.
  3. Add a short description (1–3 sentences is fine).
  4. Submit. A facilitator receives a notification and triages within their normal window.

5. Add feedback to an open case

Coaches often ask "what's working in class?" — you can answer asynchronously:

  1. Open the case from the student card.
  2. Click Add teacher feedback.
  3. Use the prompts (or write freely). Submit.

The coach receives an in-app notification.

6. Message the coach

Need a quick back-and-forth? Use Message on the case. Messages are scoped to the case and audit-logged.

7. Notifications

Account settings → Notifications. Recommended starting point:

  • Email: weekly summary on Sunday.
  • In-app: case updates for your students.
  • Push (mobile): off, unless you want it.

FAQ

I don't see one of my students. Ask your admin to confirm the student was imported and that you're listed as the teacher. See Importing students.

Can parents see anything I write? No. Teacher feedback is visible to the assigned facilitator and admins, not to parents or students. FERPA-aligned access controls apply.

Can I close a case? No — only facilitators and admins close cases. You can add feedback at any time.

Troubleshooting

  • The referral form won't submit: ensure all required fields have content. If the issue persists, try a different browser.
  • Notifications aren't arriving: confirm your district email allowlists amplifyed.app.
