Strive Appraiser and Professional Learning Roles and Rights FAQ

Below, you’ll find answers to frequently asked questions about Strive Appraiser and Professional Learning Roles and Rights.

Strive Appraiser Roles and Rights

Why are Principals and APs not assigned the Appraisal Administrator role?

The Appraisal Administrator role gives the highest level of access to Strive appraisals. Appraisal administrators manage system setup. They do not conduct appraisals. Assign this role with caution. Typically, only a few district-level decision-makers have this role.

Why are Principals and APs assigned different roles?

Principals need access to information on all users on their campus. Assistant Principals only need access to their group of appraisees. Access to all users could allow APs to view appraisals of other APs if the documents are not specifically locked.

Why do the APs need the School Walkthrough Appraiser and Walkthrough Viewer roles and the Principal does not?

Walkthrough roles are included in the School or Department Appraiser role. They may or may not be needed by Limited Appraisers. These roles are added separately based on district needs.

What is the difference between School Walkthrough Appraiser and Walkthrough Viewer?

The School Walkthrough Appraiser role allows users to conduct walkthroughs on all teachers on the campus, not just their appraisees of record. The Walkthrough Viewer role allows users to see all the walkthroughs completed by other appraisers on their appraisees of record.

How can my campus Principals and APs view Professional Learning information on their appraisees? 

Appraisers must have the Professional Development Credit Viewer role to view a Professional Learning history. Limit the role only to their campus.

In my Workshop Setup, I selected “School Professional Development Approver should approve credit requests,” but my principals cannot see any requests. How can I get them to show?

In addition to the setting in Workshop Setup, you need to assign the School Professional Development Approver role to those Principals or APs who approve the requests.

Strive Professional Learning Roles and Rights

Why are Principals and APs not assigned the Professional Development Administrator role?

This Professional Development Administrator role gives the highest level of access to district PD settings. Assign this role with caution. Typically, only a few district-level Professional Development decision-makers have this role.

Why would I assign someone Limited Course Creator instead of District Course Editor if they are at the district level?

The District Course Editor role allows users to create, edit, and delete courses created by other users. Limit access to this role. Assign Limited Course Creator to users who only need to create and edit their own courses.

I assigned users as School Course Editors, but they can’t see where to create school courses.

School Courses is an option that a Professional Development Administrator can turn on or off. Your district might need to enable the feature if you do not see the option for school courses under Course Management. To turn on School Courses, go to Workshop Settings>Workshop Setup>General Option>Features Tab.
