Giving students the Clever Badge frees up a lot of time. It also enables the teachers to spend time on other things rather than logging in students.

“At scale, building your own solution isn’t sustainable. The real value comes from avoiding endless troubleshooting and firefighting, so your team can focus on what matters most—your product.”

Clever Complete will be a game-changer for how we work with schools. The solution gives us the flexibility to support different school systems and provide a consistent user experience, without the engineering and support headaches.

“Handling sensitive student information requires robust security measures. Effective identity and access management are crucial to protect the entire school community’s data, and align with our responsibility to ensure a safe digital environment for our users. We’re thrilled to have Clever as a partner in that endeavor.”

About one in four children in America have used Prodigy. This growth so far wasn’t because we sold to districts. It was because teachers loved the fact it was both zero cost and that it motivated their students. Now, rostering with Clever has enabled us to deepen our relationships and trust at a district level.

When we onboard new schools, we often find security setups that are nowhere near robust. One school had printed usernames and passwords stuck into student planners… Unfortunately, that’s more the norm than the exception.
Usage data tells you what’s being used—but only teachers can tell you why. Pair their insight with your analytics to make smarter, people-driven edtech decisions.
I want AI in the classroom to reflect how I teach, so students get an on-demand version of Mr. Araujo, not just a generic tool. That’s how we preserve real teaching.
“With Clever and Layers managing rostering and SSO behind the scenes, we’ve eliminated the technical burden for educators—giving them back valuable time to focus on what truly matters: their students’ learning journey.”
“The classroom experience was seamless for both students and teachers. Accessing Khan Academy felt completely natural—everything was integrated into the school portal they already used daily, with no extra steps or new systems to learn.”
