Before you start
Get your registration link. Your school or district's TEACH administrator shares it with you. If you don't have it, ask them.
Use your work email, such as your school or district email. Personal addresses like Gmail won't work.

Register with your link
Open your registration link: use the link shared by your TEACH administrator. It ends with something like "/reg/sage-river-sd".
Agree to the terms: check the box for the PBLWorks Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. Do this first, before you choose how to sign in.
Choose how to sign in:
With your school or district Google account: select Register with Google, then choose that account when Google asks.
With email: enter your First Name, Last Name, and Work Email Address, then select Register with your work email.
Check your inbox for the sign-in link we send you, and use it to sign in.
Don't see the sign-in email? Check your spam or junk folder, and ask your IT team to allow email from @pblworks.org.
Pick your site: if your school or district has more than one site, choose the Site where you mainly work, then select Next.
Complete your profile: answer five quick questions about your role, grades, subjects, years in education, and experience with project-based learning. On the last one, select Finish and Explore TEACH to start using TEACH.
