Using Clever with SPIRE Up

SPIRE Up can be accessed through EPS Connect in Clever to automate user account creation and ongoing updates. Because SPIRE Up is a supplemental program, districts should carefully control which users are shared. This article covers the key requirements for using Clever with SPIRE Up and links to Clever resources for detailed setup instructions


Adding SPIRE Up in Clever 

SPIRE Up is added and managed directly within your Clever dashboard. 

Districts should: 

  • Add the EPS Connect application from the Clever App Gallery 
  • Configure data sharing settings in Clever 
  • Assign the application to the appropriate users 

For step‑by‑step instructions, refer to Clever’s documentation: 

Data Sharing Considerations 

Data shared with SPIRE Up through Clever should be limited to the students, teachers, and administrators who are intended to use the program. Because SPIRE Up is often purchased for a specific group of students, we strongly recommend filtering shared records accordingly.

What to Share 

Through Clever, districts typically share: 

  • District and/or school administrators 
  • Teachers using SPIRE Up 
  • Students participating in SPIRE Up 

Why Filtering Matters 

All users shared through Clever will have accounts created in SPIRE Up. While students do not begin instruction until they are placed into a class, sharing unnecessary users can: 

  • Create long student lists for administrators and teachers 
  • Add complexity during class setup 
  • Increase ongoing management effort 

If users are not easily identified in your SIS (for example, a specialized cohort), Clever provides options such as rule‑based permissions or manual records. For assistance, we recommend contacting the Clever Help Center.

 

What Happens After Sharing 

Once records are shared through Clever: 

  • Administrator, teacher, and student accounts are created in SPIRE Up 
  • Students appear in an available student list 
  • Classes are not automatically created 
  • Students are not automatically enrolled into classes 

District administrators, school administrators, and/or teachers are responsible for: 

  • Creating classes 
  • Assigning courses 
  • Rostering students after placement testing 

This approach allows districts to maintain flexibility when grouping students for instruction.
