What are some activities to consider at the end of the school year?

TeachBoost Coach is designed to roll over year-to-year to support the continuity of coaching. When you return after your summer vacation, you’ll be able to pick up exactly where you leave off from your coaching dashboard. Your reports will automatically update to reflect data from just the current school year, and you can always navigate back in time to see past data.

Here is a checklist of recommended end-of-year steps with more detailed directions below.  

End of Year Checklist

• Complete each coachees’ goal(s) and cycle
• Set an end date for all recurring events on your Google/Microsoft calendar
• [Optional] Hide all coachees from your dashboard for a fresh start to your caseload, or select the specific coachees you plan to coach at the start of next year

Goals & Cycles

We recommend reflecting with your coachees on their goals and completing those goals before the end of the school year. 

Steps

1. Click on the coachee’s name
2. In the top right of their profile, click on their goal or click Finish cycle.
3. Check off the goal and cycle to mark them complete, and add a completed date as needed. 
4. Use the Updates section at the bottom of the goal to add a reflection or describe the teacher’s outcomes and progress. 
5. Click Save.

Calendar Management

If you are syncing with a Google or Microsoft Calendar, any recurring events you imported will continue to sync to TeachBoost Coach until the event's end date. If you didn’t set an end date on recurring events on your Google or Microsoft Calendar, those events will continue syncing to your Coach data over the summer and into the next school year.

We recommend checking your Google or Microsoft Calendar and editing any recurring events to have an end date. You can find more information about managing recurring events in the Google Help Library or Microsoft Support Library.

Roster Management

From your Team page you can control coachee’s access and which coachees show on your dashboard. These settings will roll over to the next school year so your coaching dashboard will look the same when you start coaching again in the new year. You can find more details about managing your roster here. 

If you want a fresh start to your coaching dashboard for the new year:

1. Click on Team from your left navigation panel.
2. Use the top checkbox to select all coachees. 
3. Click Actions.
4. Select Hide from my dashboard. 
5. If you also want to disable teachers’ login access, select Disable access from the actions menu. 

At the start of the next school year, you’ll be able to select the teachers you are actively coaching and set them to show on your dashboard. You can also use your Team page to add new teachers or edit any teacher details that may have changed (ie grade, subject, etc).
