❤❤❤ Rollout exercises (click to expand)


For INITIAL ROLLOUT, we suggest taking 3-5 minutes to review the first exercise below.

These exercises (templates) are for PD coordinators - a roadmap as you focus the conversation towards self-reflection and parts of the Framework with associated professional learning opportunities.

  1. Deepen teachers' understanding of the Framework.
  2. Having your teachers explore personalized learning resources and activities aligned to the Framework.
  3. Having your teachers reflect about practice in context to the Framework.

All-in-One Place for Teachers and Admins

For teachers, everything starts with their portal dashboard; it's the only page to bookmark because the system syncs up all other prof learning details behind the scenes and in real time. Teacher (end users) have their own knowledge base .

This knowledge base is for SuperAdmins .
 

 

2 | Steps to Customize Your Portal

Add Participants


Admin Video:  Add Participants (3:05)


The Participants section keeps all participants, their roles, team tags and group assignments in one place. If you have a SuperAdmin portal role, then you can add and delete participants, one at a time or the entire roster with a simple excel import. 

There is a separate step to Invite participant(s) once your portal is ready and as needed. This step is open to other portal Admins (e.g., a Principal can invite their teachers). 


Adding Participants One-by-One:
  1. Navigate to Participants
  2. Click Add Participant
  3. Enter the participant's Email, First Name, and Last Name.
  4. Click on Save & Continue.

Adding Participants in Bulk:
  1. Navigate to Participants
  2. Select CSV Import
  3. Download the provided template.
    1. The template has 3 required fields ("First Name," "Last Name," "Email,"). 
    2. The "Gender" column can be left blank, but the column header must remain.
  4. Upload the completed file.
  5. Verify the file syntax for any errors.
  6. Click Import and wait for the confirmation message.
  7. Refresh the page. Notice the new count in Participants.
Note: Newly added participants are highlighted in yellow until you invite them.

 
Roles & Permissions


⭐️ The SuperAdmin plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the learning environment. SuperAdmins must ensure that admins only view Participants assigned to the same Learning and Coaching Groups as themselves, upholding the structure and privacy of the admin-level permissions. 


Admin Video: Roles & Permissions (6:10)


Your portal lets you customize access for each participant as needed. Understanding the different user roles and their respective permissions is crucial for effective management of the 2gnoMe platform.

All admins will see the top-level AdminPortal link on their portal page (after login).

      2. Find a Participant
      3. Click View/Edit on the “Team Tag’’ Column.
      4. Provide Team Tag answers
      5. Click Skip & Continue.
