Each user has a unique account in SameGoal for each district they work with (if more than one).
- Click the blue "Sign In" button at the top right of the SameGoal home page or visit the district directory.
- Begin typing your district name or city into the search box.
- Click on your district in the results list.
Your login page will be located at a URL of the format https://samegoal.com/iep/a/[domain], where domain is typically your district's email domain.
We recommend each district provides a link to the district-specific login page for their users, so they need not search each time they login. Users can also bookmark or create a desktop shortcut for their login page.
lightbulb Tip
If your district uses ClassLink, the SameGoal app icon may have been added to your district's LaunchPad and single sign on may be configured through ClassLink. Check for SameGoal's app icon on the LaunchPad, then click it if found. As long as you are logged into the LaunchPad, you will be immediately authenticated and redirected into the SameGoal web application. Login to the LaunchPad first before logging into SameGoal.
- Enter your email address and password.
- This email will be your district email address, unless you are a third-party provider without a district email.
lightbulb Tip
If your district has configured single sign on or LDAP/Active Directory, SameGoal does not store a password for your account. Rather, it sends the email address and password you enter here straight on to your district's central authentication server to get a "thumbs up" or "thumbs down". Your password in this case will be the same password you use for other district services (eg district email)lightbulb Tip
If your district has configured LDAP/Active Directory, enter your LDAP username and password.
SameGoal requires multi-factor authentication for users who do not use single sign-on/OIDC. The required reauthentication interval is set by the district's admin.
How it works: When a user needs to reauthenticate, after they provide their login information, SameGoal will send a verification code to their account email, and they will be prompted to provide their verification code before they can log in.
