The QuaverReady Dashboard is a powerful tool designed to enhance your teaching experience by providing a user-friendly interface to organize and manage QuaverReady resources.
The QuaverReady Dashboard is divided into two sections: the top section, which contains essential features and is set in place, and the customizable bottom section, which allows you to tailor the Dashboard to your specific needs. The dashboard’s header has a curriculum logo, a Switch Curricula button (if applicable), Inbox, and a Menu. Let’s dive in!
Dashboard Sections #
Top Section #
The top section cannot be customized and is made up of 5 applications:
- QuaverPLC – Between the Curriculum Video Tutorials, the School Leadership Series, and an Educator Series, QuaverPLC will create a culture for success!
- Resource Manager – Search all music resources using the Resource Manager search engine and filters. Also, create new Lessons and Assignments using Quaver content while pulling some of your favorite content from outside QuaverMusic.
- Resource Creation – Pull in content from outside Quaver’s resources and create custom screens from scratch that can be added to your Lessons or Assignments.
- Student Admin – Create classes and student accounts, distribute assignments, and monitor progress using the attendance and gradebook tools.
- Help Center – This is the website you are currently on.

The bottom section is customizable. Tailor the dashboard to your needs with the available applications:

To begin customizing your Dashboard, follow these simple steps:
Within the bottom section, you will find a “Customize” button. Select this button to access the customization options for your Dashboard.

At the top, you will see you can edit the overall appearance of your dashboard.

Add and Remove Applications
On the left side, you will find the list of available Applications. This menu provides options to add or remove applications from the bottom section of the Dashboard.
- To add applications, use the “Select All” checkbox to include all available applications, or individually choose the specific applications you wish to include. To select individual applications, select the checkbox next to each desired application.
- To remove applications, uncheck the checkbox next to that particular application or use the “Deselect All” to remove all applications.
Rearranging Applications
You can rearrange your Selected applications on the right side of the Dashboard Customization screen.
- To rearrange an application, select the one you want to move. Select and hold the desired application.
- As you drag the application, you will notice a blue square highlighting it, indicating that it can be repositioned. Continue dragging the application to the desired location.
- Once you’ve reached the desired spot, hover over that location. You will see a red square highlighting where the application can be placed.
- Place the application by letting go of the mouse. The application will now be relocated to its new position within the bottom section of your Dashboard.
Finally, after customizing your Dashboard to suit your preferences, it is essential to remember to save any changes you make. You will find two green “Save” buttons at the top and bottom of the Dashboard preferences. This will preserve your customizations and ensure that your Dashboard reflects your personalized setup each time you access it.
Account Info #
To access your Account’s Info, go to the dashboard Menu and select “Account Info.” Here you can view general Login Info info like Username, Password, and Email. You can also view License Info like Product, School, District, and when your Account Access Expires. There are a few actionable items on the Account Info page:
- Reset account password
- Change account email
- Enter a Teacher Access Code to either renew your account access or add multiple QuaverEd curricula.
Inbox #
The Inbox Messaging System is designed to provide an efficient and organized communication channel for reaching all educators. A red circle on the Inbox button indicates you have unread messages. Simply click the Inbox button and select the message you’d like to view.
The Unread tab will display unread messages at the top of your list, while the All tab shows all messages sorted by the date they were sent. Whichever tab you select, whether All or Unread, will remain selected the next time you open the Inbox.
To archive a message for easy access, use the star icon. Archived messages are not deleted and can be accessed later. To delete a message, use the trash icon. If you accidentally delete a message, click the three dots icon at the top to view your trash folder.
Click the X to return to your Dashboard.
When you use the trash icon, your message will be moved to the trash for 30 days before being permanently deleted. To view your trash, click the three-dot menu next to the X icon.
If you accidentally delete a message, you can undelete it from the trash by selecting the three-dot menu. This will restore the message to your inbox. The same menu also allows you to return to the Inbox when viewing the trash.
