Submitting a referral
Last updated 2026-06-07
Purpose
Submit a structured referral so a facilitator can open a coaching case.
When to submit
- Persistent academic concern not resolved with normal classroom supports.
- Pattern of behavior or attendance you want a coach to help address.
- Anything you'd like a fresh perspective on.
You do not need to wait until a problem is severe — early referrals tend to lead to shorter, more effective cases.
Steps
- Open the student from your dashboard.
- Click Refer for support.
- Pick the Concern type: Academic, Behavior, Attendance, Other.
- Add a short description. 1–3 sentences. Include any strategies you've already tried.
- Optionally attach data (a grade report, recent assignment, etc.).
- Submit.
[SCREENSHOT: teacher-referral-form] Teacher Portal → Refer a student, full form with concern type, urgency, and narrative populated for a sample student.
What happens next
- The facilitator on duty receives an in-app notification and email.
- They triage within the configured window (typically 24–48 hours).
- You receive an in-app notification when the referral is accepted, plus the name of the assigned coach.
FAQ
Can I submit a referral for a student I don't teach? Not from the teacher portal. Talk to your admin or your counselor.
What if multiple teachers refer the same student? The system de-duplicates. Multiple referrals roll up into the same case, with everyone's context preserved.
Can I cancel a referral I sent by mistake? Yes, until it's triaged — open the referral and click Withdraw. After triage, contact the assigned facilitator.
