Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs for Teachers:

1. How can I tell which students have not yet completed the Profile?
   
   After logging into the Teacher Site, click My Students to view a list of all students affiliated with you. The sixth column indicates whether or not the student has completed the Profile (Y or N). Although this page is not designed to be printed directly from the web, the information can be highlighted, copied, and then pasted into Word and printed.

2. How can I organize students into groups based on subject, interest area, or other criteria?
   After logging into the Teacher Site, click My Students, then click Manage Groups on the blue toolbar. Click the button. Select an option (e.g. Design a Custom Group) from the drop-down menu. Type a name for this group (e.g. Smith HR or Math Students), select the appropriate students and click the orange Submit button.

3. Is there an online Renzulli Learning tutorial?
   Yes! A comprehensive, interactive tutorial is linked on Renzulli's Teacher Resources page. It may take a bit of time to do in it's entirety, but it's worth it. After logging in, click on Teacher Resources in the blue menu bar. Under Interactive Tutorials, click Introduction to Differentiation with Renzulli. If desired, you can start with Lesson 2. A Renzulli Leaning "top tips" card is also available.

4. How can I see (or change) student usernames or passwords?
   Click here for directions. To edit your students' usernames or passwords, simply click the Edit button, make the necessary change and click OK.

5. How can I edit a student's grade level (or other registration info)?
   After logging into the Teacher Site, click My Students, then click a student's name (it will be a blue hyperlink). Scroll down and click the orange Edit Registration button. Make any necessary changes, then be use to click the orange Submit button at the bottom of the page.

6. Help! I just registered for Renzulli and can't edit my class list!
   Contact your School Site Manager (library media specialist or lab aide) and ask that your Renzulli account be "authorized." When a teacher first registers, his or her account is "provisional." A School Site Manager verifies teacher info and authorizes accounts. Provisional users cannot select students for their class list, nor can they mass register students. This security feature prevents someone from posing as a teacher and manipulating student accounts.
