As a business owner theft is always a fear; we put systems into place to prevent losses, but have you ever considered the theft that could be happening right in front of you? Hourly wage employees cost companies $400 billion annually in lost productivity. Whether it's punching in early, staying late, or stretching hours, employee time theft is a real issue faced by employers everywhere. If you’re dealing with hourly employees you may want to take a look at your current processes.

Is Your Software Doing Enough?
Perhaps you don’t even use a time & attendance software, or maybe you do, but it only requires a personal pin code to clock in and out, which, is likely going to be used against you. Listed below are the various forms of time tracking, along with a percentage of average time theft:

The National Commission on Higher Education Attainment released its findings in April of 2012, addressing how faculty engagement with students can enhance retention and determination. It also highlighted the importance of faculty and student engagement and expressed an increased need for professional development opportunities that facilitate instructional proficiency using technology (Rhodes 2012).

Automated Time and Attendance software can help schools in many ways. There is no doubt that an attendance management system will help save time and money by eliminating a great deal of manual processes that are highly important and prone to error. With automated attendance, teachers can forget the worries of tracking and focus on more important issues in the classroom, but there is much more at play behind the scenes in administration.  Here we discuss the top 12 advantages of having automated attendance software in your school.

Students earn title IV through attendance, and as all administrators know, the percentage of aid earned is equal to percentage of payment period or period of enrollment completed.  A School is responsible to return all title IV funds disbursed, but not earned by the student: That's a major gamble for any institution!

Common administrative pitfalls of the technical school industry almost always involves accurate reporting of Title IV funds, and institutions strive to maintain that transparency through a software platform that can automate the process- that is a large amount of trust, if you ask me.  Who would want to put all their eggs in a basket without knowing if their new found software will serve them right? Think of all the chaos and rolling-eyes at the financial aid office during a new software transition...and don't forget the time lost to learning the new interface.  We here at SchoolVision commend all administrators for their efforts to better their school, that is why we strive for seamless integrations with existing platforms already in use, and offer flexibility in every area to suit your school's needs.

What is a rubric?
A rubric is a coherent set of criteria for students' work that includes descriptions of performance quality on the criteria. This idea may sound simple, but unfortunately, the definition of rubric is rarely demonstrated in practice.
