Frequently Asked Questions

Clever School Teacher is a membership for Kindergarten and 1st grade teachers. Members get ready-to-teach printable resources, including lessons, centers and games, worksheets, readers, assessments, morning meeting slides and seasonal activities, plus a new bundle of resources every month. You can browse the library to see what's inside.

Everything is made for Kindergarten and 1st grade. In the library you can filter by grade, subject, topic, resource type, theme and month, so it's easy to find what fits your class.

Every membership includes:

• Downloadable K-1 resources for literacy, math, science, social studies, social-emotional learning and classroom management
• A new monthly bundle of resources, released on the 1st of each month
• The lesson planner, to plan your week with Clever School Teacher resources
• Favorites, so you can save resources to come back to

How far back into the library you can go depends on your plan (see below).

All three plans include the current month and every future month while you're a member. The difference is how much of the past library you can open:

• CST Basic: the month you join, plus every future month.
• CST Standard: everything in Basic, plus the six months before the month you join.
• CST Premium: the entire library, every resource we've ever published.

Each plan is available monthly or yearly. See all the details on our pricing page.

Depending on the plan you choose, yes. CST Standard gives you access to the 6 months before the month you join. CST Premium gives you access to the entire library. CST Basic gives you the month you join and all future months that you remain a member. You can upgrade at any time from My Account.

Choose a plan on the free trial page and add a card. You get instant access to that plan, including all of the resources published in the current month, and you won't be charged until the 1st of the next month. If you decide it's not for you, cancel from My Account before then and you won't be charged.

Yes. Every resource page in the library shows preview images of its pages, along with what's inside, the grade and the skills it covers, so you know exactly what you're getting. Anyone can browse and preview; downloading requires a membership.

Most resources are printable PDFs made for standard US Letter paper, so you can download and print them right away on a classroom or home printer, in color or black and white. Some larger resources come as a ZIP file with several PDFs, and some also include Google Slides or PowerPoint files. The format is listed on each resource page.

Yes. A new bundle of K-1 resources is released on the 1st of every month, built around the skills and seasons you're teaching right then. Every plan includes each new monthly bundle for as long as you're a member.

Our resources are written to support Kindergarten and 1st grade standards. Where a resource is aligned to specific Common Core State Standards, the standard codes are listed on its resource page.

The lesson planner is included with every membership. You can drop Clever School Teacher resources into each day, add notes, check things off and print a weekly plan for your sub folder. It can auto-fill a week with in-season picks, has week and month views, and lets you download a whole day's resources at once. Find it under Planner once you're signed in.

Membership is valid for one teacher. If you team teach, your partner will need to have their own account to access all of the benefits.

Yes. We offer memberships for schools and teaching teams, where each teacher gets their own login and a school leader manages the group. Visit our schools page to request a quote, or contact us with any questions.

If your school, a workshop or a giveaway gave you an access code, enter it on the redeem page. It unlocks your Clever School Teacher membership, no card needed.

Monthly memberships are charged when you sign up and then on the 1st of every month. Your first payment covers the rest of the month you join, and you get immediate access to your plan's resources. Yearly memberships are charged once a year and renew one year after you join. Free trials are not charged until the 1st of the next month. You can view your invoices and update your payment method in My Account.

All of CST's resources are intended for single teacher use only.  They may not be posted on school file servers or shared with other teachers. To read more about our Terms of Use check them out here.

Yes. Go to My Account and choose Change plan to move between Basic, Standard and Premium or between monthly and yearly billing.

Yes! Certainly! You can cancel any time from My Account by choosing Cancel membership. You won't be charged again, and you keep full access until the end of your current billing period. After that you will lose access to downloads, so be sure you have saved any resources you want to keep. You will not get a pro-rated refund for mid-month cancellations.

Since you have immediate access to the downloadable resources, refunds will not be granted.
