School admin: a quick tour

Where everything is in the Site Portal: tracking, learning and observations for your school.

Written by Justin Hume

As a school admin, you have a Site Portal for your school. It shows how your teachers are doing, and it's where you run professional learning and observations for the whole school.

To open it: click your photo at the top right, then Site Portal. If you look after more than one school, each one has its own line.

  4. Tracking has five pages. Statistics shows feedback and observations month by month. Dashboard is a coaching summary with a row for each teacher. Conferences and Goals follow your teachers' progress. Reporting builds reports from rubric results.
