Giving recognitions is a way for teachers and administrators to identify behaviors or characteristics for a given student. They are completely customizable, can be positive or negative, and can be given at both the district level and classroom level.
There are two ways to view the recognitions a student has been given.
To see the recognitions for an individual student, head to their student profile. You will be able to see the recognitions that student has earned from all of their classes here.
 | To see recognition information for multiple students/classes at once, you can run a Recognitions Report in the Analytics module. This report will also show you details such as how often you give recognitions, the percentages of what type of recognitions you give, and other metrics related to recognitions.

💡 Tip from the Otus Team: You will only be able to see the recognitions for your class(es) when in Analytics. If you want to see recognitions given to your students from other teachers, you'll want to go to their student profile.
