How do I set up my multi-teacher classes that have two or more teachers evaluating
students? How do I assign two or more teachers to the same group of children?
Two options if you have 2 or more teachers managing the same class are:
First, your organization should decided whether or not they feel it is appropriate for
teachers to share the same account.
The benefit of each teacher having their own account is that you would always know who
entered what information for what student.
If your organization permits login-sharing, please list all of the children in one class, assign it
to one teacher (normally the lead teacher), and have the other teachers for that class share the
username and password. Note: Only one person at a time may use a specific login. Two people logging in
simultaneously with the same username and password logs out one another.
Otherwise, divide the class into two separate classes
and assign one class to each teacher. In this way, each teacher will have their own login and their
own group of students to evaluate. However, only the administrator of the site will have access to generating reports
that will aggregate the data for the two classes.
What can I put in the online Journal?
The Journal is a place for you to capture information and achievements about
the children in your class. Since the Journal can be shared with parents,
it's a great way to connect home and classroom, and to
collaborate on how a child is developing in both places. Teachers and family members alike can
communicate easily by writing about their children, as well as scanning in photos,
recordings, and artwork.
How do I invite a family member to see a child's
information?
- Click the Your Account tab and select Invitations.
- From the list that appears, click Send next to the desired child's name.
- Enter the name and email address of the family member and click Send.
- Earlylearner.net will send this parent an email invitation.
For security purposes, in order for this family member to view their child's information,
he or she will need to register.
When the family member registers, the status of the invitation is updated to "Accepted" in the same class list.
Is my students' privacy protected in this service?
All information that you enter into Earlylearner.net is private.
Only you and your administrator will be able to enter or edit it through your unique
username and password. You have the option of inviting a family member to participate in the
child's development by sending them an electronic invitation so that they can view
the information. However, family members will only be able to view the records of their
own child, and of no other children in your classroom. SchoolSuccess recognizes the
importance of security and privacy regarding child-specific information. Therefore,
all information is highly secured and password-protected.
What are cookies and how does this site use them?
Cookie technology allows SchoolSuccess to electronically collect information
about your computer (such as your browser type and Internet protocol [IP] address),
so we can customize your session and retain your login information. Cookies are not shared
with third parties.
What happens when my free trial ends? Will you charge me automatically?
When your trial ends, you will be unable to log into Earlylearner.net.
This DOES NOT mean that the child data entered during the trial has been deleted.
It means access to it has been temporarily suspended until you purchase an actual
license. Contact us or via the Feedback
