I have also been verified as a teacher and am not able to access the curriculum. The link

Download the course materials: [https://aka.ms/TEALSintroCS](https://aka.ms/TEALSintroCS)

gives me teacher verification failed.

Thank you for your help.

I would love to use the Intro to CS with Makecode Arcade next year with my students. I got verified as a Github educator and filled out the form from the link on [https://arcade.makecode.com/courses/introcs#semester-1](https://arcade.makecode.com/courses/introcs#semester-1) but still cannot get in. I often do things wrong. Any guidance?

Thank you!
