Assess your school’s needs and requirements carefully before implementing ManageBac. Get a demo or trial to experience ManageBac’s features and functionalities. This will enable you to assess its user-friendliness, customisation options, and compatibility with the school’s workflow. Teachers, administrators, and IT staff should be given the opportunity to test and give feedback. Consider any additional training needs your school may have by exploring ManageBac’s training materials and resources. Start small and scale up gradually by piloting ManageBac in a specific grade level or department. Make use of ManageBac’s resources, participate in webinars, and stay connected to the ManageBac community.
