Amplify has a single entryway for educators with a new look and feel for the new school year. The Educator Home page provides ready access to lesson-related content and student data. The Recommendations have been streamlined, and a new Quick Links section gives convenient access to other parts of the platform.

After logging in, you’ll arrive at Educator Home, where you’ll find a streamlined way to access your assessment, reporting, and instructional tools. Educator Home may appear different depending on your institution’s licensed products. This video walks you through the features of Educator Home.
