Importing Clever Classes into Prodigy

As a Clever user, it’s easy to sync your existing classrooms with Prodigy. Accounts are automatically created for your students when you sync your classrooms!  

In order to sync your classrooms, ensure you are logged in to Prodigy with Clever.

Once you have, there are two ways you can sync your classrooms:

Importing Classrooms During Onboarding

When you first create your account, you will be guided through a step-by-step process to set up your account. As part of this process, you will be asked to import your classroom(s) from Clever.

During this process, you'll see a list of your Clever classrooms, and you can select which ones you would like to bring over to Prodigy. This is also where you can set your classroom grade. Once you’re done, click "Confirm".

Once you’ve confirmed which classrooms you would like to sync, click “Sync classrooms”.

The app will reload and your Clever classrooms are now imported!

Any changes to your classroom roster must be made through Clever - you can then re-import your Clever Class from your Prodigy account to reflect these changes on Prodigy!

Importing Classrooms From The Teacher Dashboard

If you have already completed your Prodigy account set up, you can find the “Create a new class” button in the upper right corner of the Manage Classes page:

Click the “Import from Clever” button in the left-hand column to start the process to sync your Clever classrooms and students:

View a list of your Clever classrooms and choose which ones you would like to update! When you’re finished, click "Confirm":

Once you’ve confirmed which classrooms you would like to sync, click “Sync classrooms”:

The app will reload and your Clever classroom will have updated rosters!

FAQs

I updated my classrooms in Clever. How do I update my Prodigy account?

Not to worry! You can import the most recent data from Clever by performing the steps above and re-selecting your previously-imported classrooms.

This will update the classroom in Prodigy with any changes you may have made to your class or students, including the classroom name (if changed). 

Where do I go to import my Clever classrooms to Prodigy?

During onboarding, you'll be asked to and led through prompts to help you import your Clever class(es). If you'd like to import a Clever class after initial onboarding, navigate to Manage Classes, then select Create a new class. Select the Clever option and follow the prompts on-screen.

What are the differences between a regular Prodigy classroom and a classroom synced with Clever?

While both options give you access to all of Prodigy's teacher tools. Here are a few key differences:

• You cannot directly edit a Clever classroom's name within Prodigy
  • If you would like to update the name of your classroom, it must be done through Clever and re-imported into Prodigy

• You cannot edit the names of your students that have Clever accounts
  • Student names are imported from Clever and will only be updated when they are updated within Clever. To update a student's name, first update their name in Clever, then re-import your Clever class into Prodigy

• Students cannot join your Clever classrooms using your Class Code
  • Students in your Clever classrooms are determined by Clever, not Prodigy. Clever information can be imported to Prodigy, but Prodigy information cannot be exported to Clever.

How do I remove a Clever classroom from Prodigy?

If you want to remove your Clever classroom from Prodigy, you simply need to delete the classroom from the Manage Classes page in Prodigy. Click on the "Actions" button, select the class you would like to remove, then click "Archive" or "Delete".  Archiving a class will remove it from your primary dashboard while retaining student usernames and reports, in case they need to be accessed again later. Deleting a class is permanent and will remove the class and linked students from your account entirely.

A new student was added to my classroom on Clever, how do I add them to my Prodigy classroom?

Not to worry! If any information has changed on Clever (e.g. a student was moved in or out of your classroom, or your classroom name has changed), you can initiate another import using the Clever class import process.

Click on the “Import from Clever”, after selecting "Create a new class" from your Manage Classes page.  Then select the class(es) that you wish to update. This will update previously-imported classrooms with the most recent data.

How do I log out of Prodigy when I have signed in with Clever?

1. First, log out of Prodigy using the standard "Logout" button. Learn more here.

2. Second, ensure you log out of Clever. You can do this by going to Clever and clicking "Log out".
