The recognition widget was created with the intention to make providing feedback more enjoyable and offering an opportunity to easily recognise all the good things educators and managers bring to your service.

The recognition widget sits on the portfolio homepage for each educator and manager and is only available for services trialling or those subscribed to Educator Portfolios. Find more information on Educator Portfolios.

To send recognition to a colleague using the recognition widget, you must be their contributor. You can see if you have been added as their contributor by visiting your team dashboard and looking for their name in the teacher column. If you cannot find their name, ask them to add you as their contributor.

If you have already been selected as a contributor, visit their homepage using your team dashboard or centre's teacher page and clicking the name of the colleague you wish to give recognition to. Locate the recognition widget and click 'give recognition in the bottom right corner. enter your message and click 'post recognition'.

Stuck on what to say? Click the 'tips' button in the bottom left corner of the widget to get some insight into how to formulate your message.
