Getting Additional Access
As a teacher, your view in Aprenta is focused on your own observations. But there are situations where you may need access to additional features. Here is how that works.
Why You See a Limited View
Aprenta uses roles to control which pages and features each person can access. As a teacher, you have the Observee role, which gives you access to:
Your Home page with the My Observations tab
Your Profile page
You do not see navigation links for Observations, Results, Forms, People, or Scheduler because those pages require different roles.
This is not a limitation of your account -- it is by design. Most teachers only need to see their own observation feedback, and a simpler interface keeps things focused and easy to use.
When You Might Need More Access
There are several situations where a teacher might need additional roles:
Becoming a mentor teacher -- If you are asked to observe other teachers as part of a mentoring program, you would need the Observer role to conduct observations
Helping with scheduling -- If you are coordinating observation schedules for your team or department, the Scheduler role would let you access the scheduling calendar
Viewing school-wide results -- If you are leading a PLC or professional development initiative and need to see aggregated observation data, the Reporter role would give you access
Managing forms -- If you are helping your school develop observation rubrics or feedback forms, the Form Manager role would let you create and edit forms
How to Get Additional Roles
You cannot change your own roles in Aprenta. To request additional access:
Talk to your principal or administrator -- Let them know what you need access to and why
They can update your roles -- Your administrator can add roles to your account through the People page using Advanced Permissions
Changes take effect immediately -- Once your roles are updated, the new pages and features appear in your navigation the next time you load the page
Your administrator can add roles without removing your existing Observee role. Roles are additive -- you can be both an Observee and an Observer at the same time, for example.
Questions About Your Access
If you are unsure who to contact about your Aprenta access, check with your school's principal or assistant principal. They can either adjust your roles directly or point you to the right person.
