This guide is here to help you quickly access Stile pracs and activities, and get all of the information you need to prepare the lab and materials. If you are brand new to Stile, you can learn more about what it has to offer in our Getting Started article.

A Stile account can make lab setup even easier because it gives you access to much more information than what's included in RiskAssess. There's no additional cost to the school for creating more accounts with teacher-level access, so have a chat with your school's Stile admin (typically the Learning Coordinator or Head of Department) to get signed in. If you are unsure about who is your school's Stile admin, you can contact the Stile Support team to help get you in touch with the right person.

Every Stile prac comes equipped with a time-saving RiskAssess template. If your school has a RiskAssess subscription, you will have access to the complete library of Stile templates. Learn more about our RiskAssess integration here, including how to set it up if you don't yet see the Stile templates in your RiskAssess library.

Core units found in the Stile Library include detailed lab guides for any practical activities included. Every prac has been road tested by Stile, with required materials and any gotchas or tips meticulously documented in the lab guides with photos and videos of us doing each activity.

Once your Stile account is setup, head to the Stile library where you can find links to the lab guides in the Teacher Resources section when previewing each unit.

If a teacher gives you the name of the prac they want to run, then you can find it in the Stile library.

The teacher can add you as a "co-teacher" to their Subject (all non-admin Staff have "teacher"-level access to Stile) if you need to see their copy of it, such as if it has been customised, or you can make your own copy if you know that they are using a Stile activity without any modifications.

If a teacher gives you a Stile link, but clicking it only results in an error message, this means that the teacher hasn't given you access to that page yet. Your colleague will need to add you as a "co-teacher" to that Subject so you can access the activity behind the link.

Your school's Stile Admin (typically your Head of Science/Head of Department or learning leader) can also add you as a co-teacher to the Subject if your colleague isn't available to do so. Co-teacher access will also set you up with a Stile account, if you don't have one already.
