Exactly what your setup looks like once access is approved — cohorts, invites, dashboard, exports.

Step 1
How do I log in as an educator?
Open the sign-in screen and choose the Educator role so you land on the educator side of MoneyIRL instead of the student app.
- Pick Educator / Admin when you create your account.
- Use Google or Apple sign-in, or email and password.
- Tick Remember me on a device you own so you stay signed in.

Step 2
What happens after I create my educator account?
The 4-step educator onboarding captures who you are, who you teach, and what your program focuses on.
- Your name, organization, and organization type.
- Audience and rough student count.
- Program length and focus areas (budgeting, credit, saving, and more).

Step 3
How do I create my first cohort?
A cohort is one class, group, or program run. Name it something you will recognize later, such as “Fall 2026 · Period 3”.
- During setup, name your first cohort on the program step.
- Later, add more cohorts from Admin → Cohorts using Add cohort.
- Remove a cohort you no longer need with the delete control in the list.

Step 4
How do students join my cohort?
The last onboarding step generates a class invitation code. Students enter it when they sign up, and they join your cohort automatically.
- Share the class invitation code in class or through your LMS.
- Other options: email invitations, CSV roster upload, or an LMS link.
- Students then complete onboarding and the Financial Readiness Assessment.

Step 5
What will I see on the cohort dashboard?
The educator dashboard shows readiness improvement, completion, and category gaps so you can plan the next session.
- Filter by cohort to compare groups.
- Assign an activity with a due date from the assignment panel.
- Read category gaps as patterns for the room, not verdicts on individuals.

Step 6
How do I manage students day to day?
Student status keeps your roster honest, and everything can be exported for your own records.
- Change a student's status: Active, At risk, Inactive, or Complete.
- Delete a student from Admin — you get a short Undo window if it was a mistake.
- Export CSV / Excel from the dashboard for gradebooks and reporting.

Step 7
How do I prepare to facilitate a session?
Before class, skim the facilitation guides and preview what students will see.
- Facilitation guides cover non-shaming tone and reading cohort insights.
- Student view lets you walk the exact screens your students use.
- Lesson videos are about two minutes each and work well as a session opener.
