How do I verify my teacher status when shopping online?
It depends on the retailer, but most outsource verification to services like SheerID and ID.me. Websites like these take your information, like your state license number, to validate your status as a teacher, administrator, or staff member.
What are SheerID and ID.me?
These verification sites take your personal information in order to validate your status as a teacher or administrator. After creating an account and providing your credentials upon sign-up, you'll be able to reap the bounty of teacher-exclusive deals that each site holds without verifying again.
For more teacher, educator, and administrator-exclusive discounts year-round, you can find tons on the SheerID and ID.me websites.
