Training & Support

Support That Knows Schools

From the first training day to the last report card of the year, everyone at your school has a way to learn SCL and a team to call: training at school and online, a Help menu with the page's guide on every page, guided tours and short videos on many pages, the Help Center's guides for every role, phone support and, where your license includes it, Priority Support.

Training

Training for Every Role

Administrators, coordinators, teachers, parents and students each learn the screens they use, in the way that suits them.

Training at Your School

Our team trains your staff on site, role by role. Teachers start with a two-hour Introduction to the daily basics and go further in a five-hour Workshop, and administrators have a two-hour Introduction that sets up the school in the order SCL needs. Each session follows the trainer's checklist, so the essentials are always covered.

Online Training

Live online sessions for new staff, new modules and the start of each term, without waiting for the next visit.

Guides and Handbooks

The Help Center explains each task step by step, written for the role that does it: administrators, teachers, parents and students. The Teacher and Admin Handbooks gather those guides into a book for each role, in the order training teaches them, to read offline, in print or on screen.

Tutorials and Videos

Short videos show a page at work and play on their own the first time someone opens a page that has one, so a new teacher can watch a task once and then do it.

Inside SCL

Help on Every Page

Help is where the work is. Every page has a Help menu with the page's guide, and many pages a guided tour and a short video. With SCL Connect on, staff can also ask the Help Center a question and get step-by-step answers from SCL's own guides.

  • A Help menu on every page
  • Ask the Help Center a question
  • Guided tours and videos on many pages
  • Request Support from the Help menu

Tutorials

Watch It Once, Then Do It

A tutorial plays right inside SCL, over the page it explains, so nobody leaves their work to learn it.

  • Played without leaving SCL
  • Watch again any time from Help
  • Also on SCL's YouTube channel
