Curriculum approvals

What this page is for
Teachers build curricula. They can share them, and one kind of sharing needs your sign-off.
What needs approval, and what does not
Sharing inside your school is automatic. A teacher who shares a curriculum with colleagues does not wait for anyone. Your school is treated as a trusted space.
Sharing globally needs a director. Publishing a curriculum to teachers at other schools is a request that lands here as pending.
An in-school share is visible to colleagues who could ask about it anyway. A global share leaves your institution — it may carry your school's name, and it cannot be quietly taken back once other schools have copied it.
A director sharing their own curriculum globally does not need approval — they are the approver.
Approving or rejecting
Each pending request shows the curriculum, its subject and grade, and who wrote it. Approve it and it becomes visible to teachers everywhere. Reject it and it falls back to being school-visible; the teacher keeps it and can keep using it.
Either way the teacher is notified.
Browsing shared curricula
Two more tabs sit next to Pending. School library lists every curriculum already shared within your school, and Global lists every curriculum shared to the whole platform — both are browse views with a live count, not approval queues.
Each card names the curriculum, its subject and grade, how many sections and lessons it holds, and a tag showing where it is shared. Preview opens the full outline — every section with its topics and subtopics — without leaving the page.
Folder requests
Teachers can share a whole folder — every curriculum in it — in one action. Those appear as their own request type, and approving cascades to every item in the folder.
What happens to copies
When another school copies a globally shared curriculum, the copy is independent. Revoking your share later, or deleting the original, does not remove it from the schools that already took it.
Approve on that basis: a global share is effectively permanent for anyone who acts on it before you change your mind.
Rules and limits
- Directors only.
- School-level sharing is auto-approved; only global needs review.
- Rejection is not deletion — the curriculum stays with its author.
- Folder shares cascade to every curriculum inside.
- Copies made elsewhere survive revocation.
Troubleshooting
"The queue is empty." Nobody has requested a global share. In-school shares never appear here — they do not need you.
"A teacher says their share is stuck." Confirm they asked for global. A school share is instant, so nothing is waiting.
"I rejected one by mistake." Ask the teacher to request again. Nothing was lost.
"Can I un-share something already approved?" You can revoke the share so it stops appearing to new schools, but copies already taken remain with those schools.
