Congratulations! If you're reading this guide, you're likely an administrator at a school that has recently partnered with Flint. We're excited to be working with you! In this guide, you'll find all the technical and training information that you'll need to get your school set up.

Have a question? Click the chat icon in the bottom right corner to message our team at any point. Or, reach out to our CEO, Sohan, at [email protected].

Step 1: Integrate your SIS/LMS with Flint for automatic rostering

When a member of the Flint team sets up access to the platform for your school, they will add you, the school administrator, as an admin on Flint. Additionally, your school's email domain (e.g. @orchardacademy.org) will be whitelisted in your school's Flint workspace. This means that any user with a school email address will be able to head to app.flintk12.com and join your school's workspace.

However, we highly recommend importing teachers, students, and classes into Flint via your SIS/LMS.

Follow this guide, or forward it to the member of your tech team that manages your school's rostering platform:

By importing rosters, you can significantly reduce the work needed for teachers to use Flint with their students, as their classes will be automatically set up for them. Flint supports systems like Veracross, Blackbaud, Canvas, and more.

Step 2: Provide training for teachers

All training materials for Flint are free and publicly accessible. That includes our getting started guide for teachers and this comprehensive PD deck.

Additionally, we have a series of training videos (total of ~25 minutes of content) that cover the basics of Flint. We highly recommend sharing these videos with teachers, or, better yet, organizing in-school PD and playing these videos for teachers to watch:

Additionally, if you've bought a license to Flint, it includes (at no extra cost) unlimited virtual PD sessions for your faculty! Click the button below to book PD with Lulu, Flint's Head of Teacher Experience:

During this ~45 minute session, Lulu will provide your teachers with an overview of Flint, share recommended tips to make the best use of the platform, and even walk teachers through creating their first AI tutor in Flint! Have any questions or custom needs? Feel free to email Lulu at [email protected].

Step 3: Review admin help guides

The Flint Help Center includes a dedicated section for administrators, which can be viewed here.

Here are three guides that may be helpful to reference in particular:
