Behaviour

The behaviour tool helps teachers and mentors to keep track of behaviour – both positive and negative. When enabled, behaviour tracking affects the following roles:

Administrators: Admin tab >> Edit global settings >> Behaviour
Mentors: Mentor tab >> Behaviour
Teachers: Courses tab >> Status and follow-up >> Behaviour
Learners: ePortfolio tab >> Behaviour

Behaviour is also available as content blocks for learners and parents.

Checklist

Before teachers and mentors can start keeping behaviour records, you must make sure that:

hierarchies are correctly set up (read more here)
behaviour types are added (administrator)
weighting types are added (administrator)
terms are added (administrator)
terms are added to the course (teacher)

Administrators

Enabling or disabling behaviour functionality on a site

Administrators can select whether to enable or disable behaviour-tracking on a site, from Admin >> Edit global settings >> General. Check or uncheck Enable behaviour tracking to enable or disable this feature.

Behaviour types

Certain types of behaviour, such as 'bullying' or 'damage to property', are referred to as behaviour types. Behaviour types are managed under Admin >> Edit global settings >> Behaviour.

Weighting types

You can use a point- or icon-based system for weighting behaviour. If you use points, the lowest number indicates the poorest behaviour. The icons indicate either good or bad behaviour. If you are applying a scale exceeding five points, you cannot use the icon system. Change weighting type in Admin >> Edit global settings >> Behaviour >> settings cog wheel >> Settings

Terminology

The term 'Behaviour' and several other terms can also be changed in the settings.

Teachers

Teachers are allowed to indicate behaviour for each participant, and to view behaviour reports for the course or individual participants. Behaviour is kept track of under Status and follow‑up >> Behaviour in a course.

To add a new remark, click Add new.

Mentors

Mentors are allowed to see an overview of total behaviour marks for their group and individual learners, in addition to recording behaviour. Click the Mentor tab >> Behaviour. Mentors can also edit behaviour remarks submitted by the teacher.

What happens when the Complete term button is clicked?

When you click the Complete term button, the behaviour remarks are sent to the headteacher. The status indicator in all overviews changes to a green 'G', which means that the status is now set to Group complete. This signals that the mentors have completed the behaviour work.
Teachers can no longer edit the behaviour notations.
Mentors can still edit the remarks, but when a headteacher has set the status to Organisation complete, it can no longer be edited.
If it is decided that any of the roles (learners, parents, or third-party systems) should see the behaviour remarks after the status is set to Group complete, the behaviour remarks will automatically be made available for them.

Learners

Learners can view their behaviour status under the ePortfolio tab >> Behaviour.
