How to Roster Manually
All customers with digital subscriptions are eligible to use our manual self-service rostering. For school or district orders that include the Reading Playgrounds, our manual rostering tools make it easy to roster teachers and students in the Really Great Reading licensing platform.
When manually rostering, you have the choice to add teachers and students one-by-one, or you can use our CSV template to perform a self-service bulk upload. The bulk upload tool is the fastest way to get your teachers and students added to the Really Great Reading licensing platform.
As a district or school administrator, you can add teachers on an individual basis or as a bulk upload.
- As a school administrator, log into the dashboard and select the Educators tab. As a district administrator, log into the dashboard and select the District Users.
- To upload Educators in bulk:
- Download the Educator CSV template.
