Teacher Profiles and Settings

In the Profile and settings window, teachers can set up and edit their IXL profiles and user settings.

Teacher Profile

To enter or update your teacher profile, follow these steps:

Enter or verify your displayed name, if desired. This is how the system will display your name to your students. If you do not enter anything in this field, the system uses your first and last name for display.
If necessary, edit your first and last name, your password, or your e-mail address.
If necessary, edit your school name. If you are part of a site license that includes more than one school, select one from the list provided.

Select or verify your state or province, and country. If you reside outside of the U.S. or Canada, leave the state or province information blank.

Note: IXL uses your location information to align skills to your state's standards. For more information, see State Standards.

If you want to change your settings, continue with the section below. Otherwise, click Submit.

Settings

To enter or update your practice settings, follow these steps:

Select your time zone.
If you have a classroom license, use the lists provided to select your first day of school. Otherwise, this information is set by your site administrator.

IXL uses this information to refresh your roster and reports data. If you are based outside of the U.S., this setting will default to the date established by your country, if one exists.

Note: If at any time you remove all students from your roster, IXL will change this setting to reflect the date you took this action, unless you are part of a site license.

If you want to receive automated reports from IXL via e-mail, select the Receive report e-mails check box.
If you want to hide grade level titles on all screens, select Hide grade levels.

When you select this option, IXL hides the grade level titles for all your students and replaces the text as follows:

Pre-K is displayed as Level A.
Kindergarten is displayed as Level B.
First grade is displayed as Level C.
Second grade is displayed as Level D.
Third grade is displayed as Level E.
Fourth grade is displayed as Level F.
Fifth grade is displayed as Level G.
Sixth grade is displayed as Level H.
Seventh grade is displayed as Level I.
Eighth grade is displayed as Level J.
Algebra is displayed as Level K.

Note: Instruct your students to sign in to IXL at www.ixl.com/signin when you want to hide grade level titles. Otherwise, if users go to the main IXL page, they will see the grade level titles.

If you want to suppress the timer from displaying while your students practice, select the Hide timer check box.

IXL will hide the timer for all students on your roster. Note that IXL still tracks the amount of time your students spend practicing, but the information is not visible to them.

If you want to hide the skill menu in the left pane for all screens while students are practicing, select the Hide skill menu check box.

IXL will hide this menu for all students on your roster.

Click Submit to save your changes.
