For Counselors: Viewing status of teacher recommendations

Many Counselors like to keep an eye on the Teacher Recommendations to ensure that students have requested and that teachers are responding.  To help with this process we have added a Recommendations tab for counselor view.

Navigating to the Recommendations tab will allow you to group by Teacher or Student view. 

The Teacher view will present a list of teachers and the number of outstanding, declined and completed requests.The next deadline date is determined by the application deadline date for colleges to which students have applied. 

 

You can sort by any of these categories and click on the Results icon to adjust which are included in your view.  

 Clicking on the lefthand Filters button will present additional filtering options.

Click on the teacher's name to see the list of outstanding recommendations in the teacher's queue.

 

If a teacher is showing as 'not registered' counselors can invite them directly from the Recommendations tab by clicking the teacher checkbox and then selecting Invite from the Actions Drop down box.

 

Counselors may also send the teacher a reminder email to complete outstanding recommendations by clicking the teacher checkbox and then selecting Remind from the Actions Drop down box.

When you group by Student, you will see high level information regarding the number of requested, declined and completed recommendations made by students, and you’ll have the same sort, results and filtering options. Clicking on a student will take you to their Manage Documents.

Letters of Recommendation Status Definitions

When managing Recommendations within the Teacher and Students views, you may wonder what each status means. We’ve explained that below:

Group By: Teacher

  1. Outstanding: Student (or you, as the counselor) requested a teacher recommendation and is waiting on the teacher to submit the recommendation. The request is “outstanding” with the teacher.
  2. Pending Approval: Counselor needs to approve the student’s recommendation request before it’s sent to the teacher. This column is only visible when the “Require counselor approval of recommendation requests” school setting is enabled.
  3. Declined: The teacher received the request and declined it.
  4. Completed: The teacher recommendation was submitted and can be found in student’s Manage Documents space. Teachers can write and submit recommendations directly in Scoir, upload a document, or the counselor can upload the recommendation on the teacher’s behalf.
  5. Next Deadline: The earliest due date across all prospects where the outstanding recommendation requests assigned to a teacher (generic or college specific letters) may apply.
  6. Registered: Indicates whether the teacher is registered or unregistered on Scoir.
