Lesson 8: Monitoring Progress

Video: Watch the final section of the onboarding video (approximately 20:00 to the end).

Overview

Congratulations! Your school is now set up and ready to use.

You’ve created your organisation, added your staff, created your first actions and configured your settings. The next step is simply to begin using Riabo as part of your everyday leadership.

Like any new system, it’s best introduced gradually. Start with a handful of important actions and build from there.

Start Small

There’s no need to add every task your school completes throughout the year.

Instead, begin with a small number of recurring actions that everyone is familiar with.

For example:

  • Monthly Cúntas Míosúil
  • Child Protection checklists
  • Class timetable uploads
  • Walk Tall and Stay Safe confirmation
  • Policy acknowledgements

Once your staff are comfortable using Riabo, you can expand it to include other recurring tasks.

Let Riabo Do the Chasing

One of the biggest benefits of Riabo is that it reduces the need for manual reminders.

Once you’ve assigned an action and configured your reminder settings, Riabo automatically keeps staff informed about upcoming and overdue tasks.

Instead of spending time sending emails or asking for updates, you can focus on supporting your staff and leading your school.

Review Your Dashboard Regularly

Your dashboard provides a quick snapshot of activity across your school.

You’ll be able to see:

  • Actions awaiting approval
  • Overdue actions
  • Completion rates
  • Staff achievements
  • Recent activity

A quick glance at your dashboard each week is usually all that’s needed to stay on top of things.

Continue Building Your Templates

As you use Riabo throughout the year, you’ll discover new opportunities to save time.

Consider creating templates for tasks you regularly ask staff to complete, such as:

  • Policy reviews
  • Curriculum planning
  • Health and Safety checks
  • School Self-Evaluation activities
  • Board of Management reports
  • Annual compliance tasks

Over time, your own template library will become one of your school’s most valuable resources.
