FAQs
Who can redeem school points?
School Leaders and Admins can redeem school points. Teachers are only able to redeem student points within their classes.
How does school point redemption impact teacher’s classes?
In case teachers would like to continue their own point economy inside of their class, we wanted to be sure that school point redemptions do not impact the points given in class. For this reason, points given for schoolwide skills in a class go to both the class balance and the school balance. If you redeem a student's school point balance, it won't impact the class point balance.
What points are included in a student’s school balance?
A student’s school balance includes the total points awarded for school skills in both their class and in the school point dashboard. This allows School Leaders/Admins to redeem all points given for school skills.
What points are included in a student’s class balance?
A student’s class balance is the total points awarded in the class, including both class skills and school skills. This allows teachers to redeem all points given in class.
If school points given in a class are added to both a student’s school balance and class balance, does this mean that the same points can be redeemed in both places?
Yes, it does. Class redemptions don’t affect the school balance. Likewise, school redemptions don’t affect the class balance. This allows school leaders to have a school reward system tied to those school skills. It also allows teachers to have a class reward system separately if they would like.
I would like for students to have one point balance, instead of having a school balance and a class balance. What can I do?
We don't currently support displaying a single point balance across all classes and the school. However, if you are only using school skills at your school, then a student’s school point balance is their single balance. We’re currently exploring a setting to display this balance across classes!
Can Teachers see school point redemptions?
Yes, teachers see their student's current redeemable 'school point balance' when they tap a student monster inside the class.
