Bonuses and Flags Dashboard:

‍This is your Bizi landing page and where you'll spend most of your time. Awarding a bonus takes seconds, and your full class roster is always one click away. In the center of the Dashboard you'll see three options:

1. Students: Quickly search for any student at your school and send a bonus or a flag.
2. Classes: All classes linked to your account through your student information system are found here. Click any class to view your full roster.
3. ‍School Groups: ‍Create, share and view school-wide groups using students from any class.

‍

On the right side of the Dashboard is the Command Center, where you'll find:

1. Edit recent activity: Review everything you've sent recently, with the ability to edit or remove individual bonuses or flags.
2. Manage Groups: Create and edit school groups to recognize.
3. View pending orders: Review and take action on student orders.
4. Analyze Reports: Track data, trends and top users.
   ‍

Navigate Bizi through the side rail:_‍

Quick Send: Need to recognize a student outside your roster? Use Quick Send to issue a bonus or flag to any student at your school.

Leaderboard:  A quick look at who is leading the way from each grade and class.

Store: The Store is where students shop using their BiziBucks. As a teacher, your main responsibility here is your My Store. The School Store runs itself.

• School Store: Items listed and managed by your school. No inventory management on your end.‍
• My Store: Items you list for students in your classes. You manage the inventory and handle distribution directly to students.

Orders: View all orders placed by your students in one place. School Store orders are handled by your school. Teacher Store orders are your responsibility to fulfill, so check this regularly on and around Store Day.

Reports: Reports give you a real-time picture of how your students are doing. Access data on total BiziBucks earned, usage rates, attendance, behavior, academic grade averages, purchase activity, and bonus and flag statistics. Useful for spotting trends and recognizing students who may need extra encouragement.

Calendar: Stay on top of important dates. Order cutoffs, store days, and academic pay days are all here, so you're never caught off guard.

Account Menu (your initials): Access the Teacher Toolbox, the "How to Earn" guide, Contact Us, Terms and Policies, or log out.

‍

There are four ways to earn:

1. Attendance: Students earn for arriving on time. Deposits are automatic and daily, based on grade level:
   
   1. Elementary school students: 20 points per day
   2. Middle school students: 3 points per day
   3. High school students: 5 points per day
   4. *Note: These values represent the majority of schools; actual points earned for attendance may vary. Check the "How to Earn" page on your Account Menu for specific values for your school.
2. Behavior: Students earn for a flag-free day or period. When students stay flag-free, they receive an automated deposit. Any staff member can issue a flag for negative behavior. One flag blocks the behavior deposit for that day (elementary) or that class period (middle and high school). For most school setups, behavior deposit values are equivalent to the attendance values listed above
   ‍
3. Academics: Students earn based on their current grade in each class. Academic deposits work like a paycheck, processed every two weeks:
   
   1. 25 points - per A or E
   2. 20 points - per B or S
   3. 15 points - per C
      
   4. *Note: These values represent the majority of schools; actual points earned for grades may vary. Check the "How to Earn" page on your Account Menu for specific values for your school.
4. Bonuses: This is where you make the biggest difference. Bonuses are Bizi's way of recognizing students who go above and beyond, and you're the one who makes that happen. Any staff member can award a bonus on the spot to a student demonstrating core values. Bonuses are worth 5 points each, can be issued daily, and there's no limit on how many a student can receive.
   
   1. Power Bonuses: Higher-value bonus types that can be created for specific categories. Only Admin can create them but they may be available to teachers to use, and will appear in the Send Bonus window with the other bonus categories.
   2. *Note: Bonus values may be changed by your school. Bonus values are shown in the Quick Send or Student Send Bonus window next to each bonus category.

Bonuses recognize students for doing the right thing; flags document behavior that blocks a student's daily or class period deposit. Both take less than 30 seconds to send, and both can be edited or removed if you make a mistake.

There are three ways to send a bonus or flag:

Option 1: Students

Using the Students option is ideal when you want to recognize or flag a student outside of your normal class roster, like in the hallway, at lunch, or during a school-wide event.

1. Click Start under the Students tile on your Dashboard.
2. At the top, choose Send Bonus or Send Flag.‍
3. Search for any student in the school.
4. Choose a Bonus or Flag category.
5. Add a comment (optional but encouraged).
6. Click Send.

‍

‍

Option 2: Classes

For everyday classroom use, your class roster lets you send bonuses or flags to one student, a few, or your entire class at once.

1. Select Start under the Classes tile on the Dashboard.
2. Select a class.
3. Click on one student or select multiple students.
4. Choose Send Bonus or Send Flag.
5. Select the appropriate category.
6. Add a comment (optional but encouraged).
7. Click Send.

*Tip: To send your entire class at once, click Select All in the top right before choosing your action. Great for whole-class recognition moments.

‍
‍

Option 3: Quick Send

Just like Clicking the Students tile, Quick send allows you to send a bonus or a flag to any individual student in the school, but you can send it quickly from the side rail from anywhere in Bizi.

1. From the side rail, click Quick Send
2. At the top, choose Send Bonus or Send Flag.
3. Search for any student in the school.
4. Choose a Bonus or Flag category.
5. Add a comment (optional but encouraged).
6. Click Send.

‍

How to create custom bonuses or flags

Bizi comes with default categories chosen by your administrators, but you can add your own to match your classroom culture. To create a custom category, click Quick Send, then select Add Bonus or Add Flag at the bottom of the category list. Type your new category name and click Save. It will be available to use right away.

*Note: The ability to create a custom bonus or flag is an administrator setting. If you do not see this available it is due to your administrator toggling off this setting.

How to remove or edit a bonus or flag

1. Go to the Command Center on the right side of the Dashboard and select Edit Recent Activity.
2. Find the student whose bonus or flag you want to change.
3. Select Edit.
4. From here, you can update the category, revise the comment, or remove the bonus or flag entirely.
