Your Home Dashboard
The Home page is the first thing you see when you sign in to Aprenta. It is personalized based on your roles β you only see the tabs and content relevant to your responsibilities.
Three Tabs, Based on Your Role
The Home page can display up to three tabs across the top:
Tab | Who Sees It | Purpose |
Admin | Principals, assistant principals, and observation managers (roles with frequency-level or teacher-management permissions) | Prioritize staff for observations and manage a to-do list of upcoming scheduled observations |
Performed Observations | Coaches and anyone who conducts observations (Observer role) | View your upcoming scheduled observations, observation stats, and recent observations |
My Observations | Teachers, paraprofessionals, counselors, and anyone who is observed (Observee role) | See upcoming observations where you will be observed and review past observation feedback |
You only see tabs for the roles you hold. If you have multiple roles, you see multiple tabs. For example, a coach who is also an observee sees both Performed Observations and My Observations. A principal with the Organization Manager role sees all three tabs. The first visible tab is selected by default.
If none of your roles map to any tab, you see a message that says "No content available for your role."
Admin Tab
The Admin tab is designed for principals, assistant principals, and observation managers who need to plan and prioritize their school's observation activity. It displays two side-by-side panels: the Prioritized List on the left and the To-Do List on the right.
Prioritized List
The Prioritized List shows staff members in your school who are eligible to be observed but do not currently have an upcoming scheduled observation. This helps you identify which teachers need attention and plan your next observations.
Each row in the list displays:
Column | Description |
Name | The staff member's name |
Last Observed | How long ago the person was last observed (e.g., "3 days ago"). Hover over the value to see the exact date and time. A dash (-) means the person has never been observed. |
Observation Frequency Level | A dropdown showing the person's assigned frequency level: Consistently, Often, Occasionally, Rarely, or Never. You can change this directly from the list. |
(Action) | A + To-Do button that adds the person to the To-Do List as a new scheduled observation |
At the top of the Prioritized List, you can:
Search by name using the search field
Filter by frequency level using the dropdown, which includes options for All, Consistently, Often, Occasionally, Rarely, and Never
Teachers disappear from the Prioritized List once they have an upcoming scheduled observation (either because you added them to the to-do list or they were scheduled through the Scheduler page).
To-Do List
The To-Do List shows scheduled observations for your school. Each row represents an observation that needs to happen and can be fully configured right from this table β no need to navigate elsewhere.
Each row displays:
Column | Description |
Observee | The teacher being observed, with a bell icon below for setting an observee reminder |
Observer | A dropdown to assign or change the observer, with a bell icon below for setting an observer reminder |
Form Name | A dropdown to select which observation form to use (only published forms appear) |
Schedule | A date/time picker to set when the observation should take place |
(Action) | A menu with a Delete option to remove the scheduled observation |
Reminders: Both the Observee and Observer columns include a reminder bell icon. Click it to schedule an email reminder before the observation date. You can choose from preset offsets (relative to the scheduled date), set a custom date and time, or send a reminder immediately. Once a reminder has been sent, the bell icon turns green and shows the sent timestamp.
Drag to reorder: You can drag rows in the To-Do List to reorder them, helping you prioritize which observations should happen first.
At the top of the To-Do List, you can search by name to quickly find a specific scheduled observation.
Performed Observations Tab
The Performed Observations tab is for coaches and anyone who conducts observations. It gives you a complete picture of your observation activity: what is coming up, how many observations you have performed, and your most recent observations.
The tab is organized into two columns.
Left Column: Upcoming Scheduled Observations
This section shows a table of observations that have been scheduled for you as the observer. The heading reads "Upcoming Scheduled Observations" with the description "A list of your upcoming scheduled observations."
Each row displays:
Column | Description |
Observee | The teacher you are scheduled to observe |
Form Name | The observation form assigned to this schedule |
Scheduled Date | The date and time of the scheduled observation |
(Action) | A menu with a Delete option |
If you also have the Scheduler role, a New button appears at the top right, allowing you to create a new scheduled observation directly from the Home page. The schedule is pre-filled with you as the observer.
You can search upcoming schedules using the search field at the top.
Right Column: Stats and Recent Observations
The right side of the tab displays two stat cards followed by a recent observations table.
Stat Cards:
Card | Description |
Total Observations Performed | "A total count of all your observations." Shows the total number of observations you have conducted across all time. |
Total Open Observations | "A count of your open observations." Shows how many of your observations currently have an "open" status (not yet closed). |
Recent Observations:
Below the stat cards, the Recent Observations section shows a table of observations you have recently conducted.
Each row displays:
Column | Description |
Name | The name of the person you observed |
Form Name | The observation form used |
Started | The date the observation was started (formatted as MM/DD/YYYY) |
You can search your recent observations using the search field at the top.
My Observations Tab
The My Observations tab is for teachers and other staff who are observed. It provides visibility into what is coming up and what has already been completed, so you are never caught off guard by an observation.
The tab is organized into two side-by-side panels.
Upcoming Scheduled Observations
The left panel, headed "Upcoming Scheduled Observations" with the description "When you will be observed," shows observations that have been scheduled for you as the observee.
Each row displays:
Column | Description |
Observer | Who will be conducting the observation. Shows "Not Assigned" if an observer has not been assigned yet. |
Form | The observation form that will be used. Shows "Not Assigned" if a form has not been selected yet. |
Scheduled Date | When the observation is scheduled. Shows "Not Scheduled" if a date has not been set. |
My Observations
The right panel, headed "My Observations" with the description "Observations conducted on you," lists observations that have been performed on you.
Each row displays:
Column | Description |
Observer | Who conducted the observation |
Form | The observation form that was used |
Observed Date | When the observation took place (formatted as MMM D, YYYY). Shows "Not Recorded" if the date was not captured. |
Status | Whether the observation is open or closed, displayed as a badge |
How Tabs Adapt When You Have Multiple Roles
Because roles are additive, your Home page grows with your responsibilities:
A teacher with only the Observee role sees just the My Observations tab.
A coach with the Observer role sees the Performed Observations tab. If they are also an observee, they see My Observations too.
An assistant principal with Observation Manager, Scheduler, Reporter, Member Manager, and Form Manager roles sees the Admin and Performed Observations tabs (and My Observations if they are also an observee).
A principal with the Organization Manager role sees all three tabs, since Organization Manager includes the permissions for all of them.
The first visible tab is always selected when you arrive at the Home page. You can switch between your available tabs at any time by clicking the tab name at the top.
