What is the Clever Portal?

The Clever Portal puts learning at teachers’ and students’ fingertips. Each student and teacher can access a personalized portal with single sign-on to every learning application they use.

As a School Tech Lead, you can customize the Clever Portal for the schools that you are associated with. Customizations include:

  • Add new categories
  • Add custom links
  • Arrange links & categories

Editing Categories

To add or edit a category for your school, begin by navigating to the Clever Portal and select View as {school}
