Initial setup

Elevate is curriculum mapping software: your school models divisions, disciplines, and courses, then builds maps and alignment views so faculty can maintain courses and your community can see an intentional program of study.

To set up Elevate for your school, work through the steps below (typical order for admins):

  1. Sign in: Use the link from your invitation email, or the Login page. New accounts may be asked to set a password.

  2. Disciplines: Create the subject areas that own courses. See the Disciplines section.

  3. Divisions: Create school levels or bands (for example, Lower / Middle / Upper) as your school uses them. See Divisions.

  4. Courses: Add courses and assign them to division and discipline. See Courses.

  5. Course map (admin): Place courses on the visual map and add merge links if needed. See Course map. (Only admin users can edit the map.)

  6. Users (optional): Invite teachers and department chairs, assign them to courses, and set chair relationships. See Users.

  7. Tags (optional): Define shared vocabulary and highlighting for the rich-text editors. See Tags.

  8. School settings: Add logo, color, and optional custom labels for course tabs. See School settings.

For how families see the public site, read Public site & views. For the course editor (outcomes, units, AI assist, etc.), see Course editor overview.
