Accessing Student Boost
District and school administrators
As a district administrator:
- Access your District Dashboard overview
- Click on any school that’s already playing
- Click on Student Boost under School in the sidebar navigation
To view a different school, you can click on the school name in the upper left corner, beside the Classcraft logo.
As a school administrator, click on Student Boost under School in the sidebar navigation to access the feature.
Staff members
By accessing app.classcraft.com on their desktop or mobile device, staff members can access the Student Boost feature. If a staff member is assigned to more than one school, they’ll first need to select the school they want to use Student Boost with.
Teachers
Teachers can access this feature by clicking on Student Boost in the top navigation bar of their home page.
Using the Student Boost feature
When you notice a positive behavior you want to reward:
- Access the Student Boost feature
- Click Find students in the upper left corner
- Enter a partial or full student name
- If you want, filter the results by tags
- Once you find a student you want to reward, click the purple + icon on the right hand side to add them to the list of selected students
- Optionally, search for other students to add to your list
- When you’ve got everyone, click Next to continue
Once your student selection is complete, select one or more behaviors you want to highlight and click Confirm to give students their points.
Note that if you select a single student, or several students that share a Tier 2 behavior, you can click the pyramid icon in the top right corner to access Tier 2 & 3 behaviors, if they’re assigned any.
If you mistakenly selected a student, click the student list in the lower left corner. You can click the X button for any student to remove them.
Creating and using quick access groups
Groups enable you to easily reward students who are not necessarily in the same grade or class. This could be for an after-class activity or any other need you have.
After finding and selecting students, instead of rewarding their behavior, click the Save as group button in the lower right corner.
Enter a name for this group and click Save.
When accessing the Student Boost feature, you’ll see all quick access groups from your homepage.
Click on any group to give them points
Alternatively, you can use the More options (...) button to:
- Give points
- Edit the group’s name
- Delete the group
Viewing Student Boost behaviors
To view the behaviors you and other staff members have rewarded students for:
- Proceed to the School Dashboard
- Click on Analytics
- Select any students in the students list
- Select Schoolwide events in the dropdown menu
