Behavior Contracts need to be approved by users with permission before they can be shared with students or parents. This is a layer of protection districts are looking for as consequences are included.
Step One: User Receives Alert
Design
On the main dashboard, the user will see a box called Alerts.
Under Alerts, they will see a message that says “TEAM MEMBER NAME needs your approval on a Behavior Contract.” The date the contract was submitted for approval will show as well.
Clicking on Review will produce the contract approval pop-up.
The user will also receive an automated email stating:
Dear INSERT USER FIRST NAME,
1 or more team members need your approval on a behavior contract for a student. Please log in to your Rethink Ed account and view your alerts in order to approve the contract. If no active alerts are showing, one of your colleagues has already approved the contract.
Please let us know if you have any questions. Have a great day!
Best,
The Rethink Ed Team
Business Rules
Users with permission to Approve Plans/Contracts/Reports will see this alert.
The alert box will only show if there is an active alert for contracts, incidents, or negative behavior.
The automated email will go out nightly as a scheduled job to any user with an active alert for at least 1 behavior contract.
Any behavior contract with a status of Pending Approval will show the alert.
We will show the name of the team member who submitted the contract for approval.
Step Two: User Reviews the Contract
Design
Upon clicking Review, the user will see a pop-up of the behavior contract screen (as it appears on the create/edit screens)
The user may make changes to the contract if they desire
At the top of the preview, the user will see a message asking them to review the contract.
If the user clicks Deny, this pop-up will close and the user will see a new pop-up informing them that they have denied the contract and instructing them to discuss with the team member. Clicking close will return the user to the main dashboard.
If the user clicks Approve, this pop-up will close and the user will see a new pop-up informing them that the contract has been approved. Clicking close will return the user to the main dashboard
Once complete, this alert will no longer show on the dashboard.
Business Rules
Only those contracts that have not yet been reviewed will show under the alerts.
We will show the first and last name of the student the contract belongs to
We will show the first and last name of the team member who submitted the contract.
Once approved, the contract status is updated to Approved.
If denied, the contract status is updated to Denied
