Two-Way onboarding is the full Sync path plus one extra phase: activating the teacher portal. Do Sync's phases first — SIS connected, staff seated, students and families linked — then bring faculty inside. The teacher steps below are what's new.
Administrator signs up and brands the portal · IT connects the SIS · staff get invites · advisors get linked to advisees · students sign in and set their free time · parents get accounts and guardian links to their children. It's the same sequence, step for step — follow it there, then come back for Phase 4.
Send teacher invites from People — same expiring-code links as every other role. Each teacher lands in the teacher portal with their sections already there from the sync; nothing to build from scratch.
For each class, set grade categories and their weights once — tests, homework, labs, participation. Weights are what tell the prioritization engine how hard each assignment should pull in every student's ranking, so this step is worth ten minutes of care.
Feed in the syllabus you already wrote and NexusPlan drafts the term's assignments — dates, types, points — for you to review and confirm. A semester of planning lands in students' radars on day one.
From here on, posting in NexusPlan is the workflow: due date, points, type — save, and every student's plan re-ranks instantly. Enter grades in the grid as work comes back; students see each result on the assignment itself, never a running average. (Write-back to your SIS: Coming soon.)
Post once — every planner updates.
