44,000 reasons to celebrate

September 23, 2015 Tyler Bosmeny

Ask anyone in education and they’ll tell you: Back to School isn’t just a day, it’s an accomplishment! Administrators and teachers across America spend months fretting details for the big moment – when students come flooding back into the hallways.

At Clever, we feel the energy of Back to School too. Teachers need accounts, students need logins – we know having everything ready to go is a big part of any successful first day.

This Back to School we also passed an exciting milestone: more than 1-in-3 U.S. schools are now using Clever! That’s 20 million students and teachers across 44,000 schools.

The press took notice of the milestone, including great stories from The New York Times, NPR, and others. But what makes this moment so special for us is seeing the excitement from our own community:

Long before it was even a company, we have thought of Clever as a movement — one that we share with schools and educators who believe in the power of great learning software.

Thanks to the 44,000 schools who have joined our community and propelled us on our way towards making digital learning easier for every student and teacher.

Clever Announces Smarter MFA for Schools on Microsoft: Introducing Device Trust

For 87% of school organizations, implementing MFA for students still feels like a far-fetched cybersecurity dream. The concern isn’t just technical — it’s practical. Will it slow down logins?

(Student) identities are the new front door for attackers. Is your school ready?

The old model of school cybersecurity was built around networks — protect the edge, control the hardware, keep the bad stuff out. That model is gone. Today, your users are the front door. And in K-12, that means millions of student accounts — most of them guarded with just one simple password. That's the reality we dug into during a recent Cybersecure Live webinar. Here’s the breakdown of why the "handle is jiggling" and how to bolt the door.
