Adding and Approving Teacher Bios

Add more information about a teacher or staff member (such as where they studied, their milestones, their years of experience etc.) directly on their profile by using the bio field. To add a bio, go to the relevant employee profile and click on edit.

Approving Bios

Teachers are able to edit their own bios but their changes need to be approved by the admin (or staff with the relevant permission settings) before changes will reflect. Teachworks essentially saves two versions of the bio, and the original bio is only updated once the new bio is approved.

You can approve a bio by going to the relevant employee’s profile and clicking on “edit”. Scroll down to the bio section and select the “Approve Draft” checkbox (remember to save the form).

NOTE: When an admin views an employee's profile or a teacher views their own profile that has a pending bio, it will be displayed in addition to the current bio until it has been approved by an admin.
