Giving (assigning) recognitions allows teachers and administrators to track behaviors, actions, or characteristics for individual students. Recognitions can be either positive or negative, and are completely customizable.

District Recognitions vs. Teacher Recognitions

Recognitions can be created at both the district level (administrators) and the class level (teachers). District recognitions can be used district wide, while teacher recognitions are used by individual teachers for their specific classes. The differences between district and teacher recognitions are outlined below:

District Recognitions

Example:

  • Represented by a square

  • Created in Admin accounts

  • Can be assigned by teachers or administrators

  • Can be edited or deleted by any administrator

Teacher Recognitions

Example:

  • Represented by a circle

  • Created in Teacher accounts

  • Can be assigned by the teacher who created them, current co-teachers of their classes, and administrators with access to their classes

  • Can be edited or deleted by the teacher or a co-teacher
