Manually Update an Educator's Name (Administrators)

District and school administrators can update an educator or staff member's name using the tools in their Discovery Education Admin dashboard (My Admin). 

If your district/school creates and updates student and educator accounts using Bulk Import-Single Sign-On or another tool like Clever or ClassLink, all changes to educator names should be made by your district IT staff.  Any manual changes to educator names you make in your Experience dashboard will be eliminated in the next data sync.

Opening the Admin Dashboard

1. Click the Global Nav icon on your Homepage.

2. Select Admin Dashboard.
