Report praise and accolades

How Does This Process Work?

All submitted praise forms will be reviewed by the Director of the Learning Environment and if permission is provided, shared with the recipient and their direct supervisor.

These forms will also help identify individuals for recognition and/or awards related to the learning environment.
