  1. REVIEWING & SUBMITTING PROGRAM REQUESTS
    (For Administrators Only)

    No programs can be contracted in your district without your approval.

    NOTE: BOCES must receive your request, approved by the District Arts Administrator, at least 10 (TEN) working days prior to the start of the program so that a contract can be generated and signed by the artist.

    There are two procedures in place that will allow you to review and either approve or decline requests for programs:

    Once a parent, teacher or administrator in your district has completed an on-line form, you will receive an e-mail notifying you that someone in your district has requested an Arts In Education program.

     

    1. Use the E-mail Link to Review & Approve or Decline a Program

      In the body of the e-mail is a link which connects directly to the "Open Program Request" screen. Click on the link and review the information for accuracy and completeness.

      If you wish to make any changes to the Request, click "Edit" and make the necessary changes.

      Once your changes are complete, click "Approve." If you do not wish to approve this program, click "Decline." The Status box for the Request will show a green "check" with the date you approved the program or a red "X" with the date you declined it.

      The approved Request will be transmitted to BOCES for approval.

      Log out.

    2. Use the Homepage to Review & Approve or Decline Program Requests

      At any time, you may log on to your secure district AIE profile from the Nassau BOCES Arts in Education homepage to review and process Program Requests.

      Click on "Log-Ins," then "District." When the "District Log-In" page appears, enter your District User ID and district password.

      NOTE: We urge you NOT to share your district password with others.


      Click "Program Requests" on the menu bar that appears across the top of the page, then click on the appropriate request number.

      When the "Open Program Request" screen appears, review the information for accuracy and completeness.

      If you wish to make any changes to the Request, click "Edit" and make the necessary changes.

      Once your changes are complete, click "Approve." If you do not wish to approve this program, click "Decline." The Status box for the Request will show a green "check" with the date you approved the program or a red "X" with the date you declined it.

      The approved Request will be transmitted to BOCES for approval.

      Log out.

      NOTE: You are able to change a program from "approved" to "declined" or vice versa any time prior to the approval of the request by BOCES. However, once a contract has been issued by BOCES, any changes must be provided in writing (via e-mail). It is your responsibility to confirm that BOCES has received notice of these changes.

  2. MANAGING CONTRACTED PROGRAMS
    (For Administrators Only)

    Once BOCES has generated a contract for the artist, you will receive another e-mail notifying you of this fact. Once again you may access the contract information in two ways.

    1. Access Contracts Using the E-mail Link

      In the body of the e-mail is a link which connects directly to the "Program Request / Contract" screen. Click on the link provided in the e-mail and review the information that appears.

      Print a copy for your files.

      If you wish to provide others with a hard copy of an evaluation form for this program, click on "Print Blank Eval." Please remember though, that all evaluations must be submitted and approved on-line only.

      Log out.

    2. Access Contracts Using the Homepage

      At any time, you may log on to your secure district AIE profile from the Nassau BOCES Arts in Education homepage (http://www.nassauboces.org/artsined).

      Click on "Log-Ins," then "District." When the "District Log-In" page appears enter your District User ID and district password.

      NOTE: We urge you NOT to share your district password with others.

      Click "Contracted Programs," then click on the appropriate contract number and review the information that appears.

      Print a copy for your files.

      If you wish to provide others with a hard copy of an evaluation form for this program, click on "Print Blank Eval." Please remember, though, that all evaluations must be submitted and approved on-line only.

      Log out.

  3. PROCESSING PROGRAM & ARTIST EVALUATIONS
    (For Administrators Only)

    Once the artist's services have been provided to the school, it is necessary that BOCES receive an on-line evaluation from an  individual who attended the program so that the artist can receive payment. This information is of great help to others who are choosing programs for their schools, and to the artists who wish to maintain the quality of their programs. You will receive e-mail reminders until you have approved at least one evaluation. Artists will also be providing BOCES with evaluations of their experiences in your schools. There are several ways to ensure that the evaluation process is completed in your district.

     

    1. Complete Evaluations Using Evaluation Password

      Anyone who saw the program can complete an On-Line Evaluation Form if he/she is provided with the correct contract number and your district Evaluation Password.

      NOTE: Unlike the District password used to log-in which should NOT be shared, the Evaluation password should be given to anyone who evaluates programs.

    2. Complete Evaluations Using Printed Forms

      You may provide printed blank evaluation forms for each contract and distribute copies to school personnel and/or parents for completion. However, information contained on hard copies must be entered on-line and submitted after you have approved them. BOCES cannot accept hard copies of evaluations.

    3. Complete Evaluations by Using E-mail Links

      The e-mail reminder from BOCES contains a link which connects directly to an evaluation form for a specific contract. Your recipient can click on this link and complete the on-line evaluation. Above the evaluation on the website, the administrator must verify that the artist's serviceshave been provided to the school and ensure that the evaluation process is complete in his/her district.  The artist will not be paid until these functions are performed by the administrator.

    4. Approve & Submit Evaluations Using E-mail Reminder

      YOU MUST APPROVE ALL EVALUATIONS BEFORE THEY ARE TRANSMITTED TO BOCES.

      No evaluations are received at BOCES until they have been reviewed and approved by you, the administrator. You can do this in either of two ways:

      Click on the link in the e-mail reminder. On the following page please verify artists' services have been provided to the school. If you  indicate services had been provided, this will take you directly to the evaluation that has been submitted to you and is waiting for your approval. Review the ratings and comments to make certain that they are complete, fair and accurate, since this information will now be accessible to the general public on the website.

      If you wish to edit the evaluation, click "Modify," make your changes, then click "Approve."

      NOTE: If you have not verified that the service has been performed before this point, you will need to enter your name before you can approve the evaluation. By entering your name and approving the evaluation you are also agreeing that the service has been performed at your school. If you have already filled out the field stating the service has been performed, your name will be pre-populated in the field at the bottom of the evaluation.

      If you do not wish to approve this evaluation, click "Decline" or "Delete." Keep in mind that you must approve at least one evaluations before the artist can be paid.

      Log out.

    5. Approve & Submit Evaluations from District Profile via Arts In Education Homepage

      At any time, you may log on to your secure district AIE profile from the Nassau BOCES Arts in Education homepage: http://www.nassauboces.org/artsined

      Click on "Log-Ins," then "District." When the "District Log-In" page appears, enter your District User ID and district password.

      NOTE: We STRONGLY recommend that you do NOT share your district password with others.

      Click "Contracted Programs," then click on the appropriate contract number.

      At the bottom of the page, click "Evaluations." On the following page please verify artists' services have been provided to the school.   If you  indicate services had been provided, this will take you directly to the evaluation  that has been submitted to you and is waiting for your approval.  Review the ratings and comments to make certain that they are complete, fair and accurate, since this information will now be accessible to the general public on the website.

      If you wish to edit the evaluation, click "Modify," make your changes, then click "Approve."

      NOTE: If you have not verified that the service has been performed before this point, you will need to enter your name before you can approve the evaluation. By entering your name and approving the evaluation you are also agreeing that the service has been performed at your school. If you have already filled out the field stating the service has been performed, your name will be pre-populated in the field at the bottom of the evaluation.

      If you do not wish to approve this evaluation, click "Decline" or "Delete." Keep in mind that you must approve one evaluation before the artist can be paid.

      Log out.

    6. Review Artists' Evaluations of Your School

      Artists will be submitting feedback about their experience in your school as well, however this information is NOT available on the public website. To access the artist's response, you must log on to your secure district AIE profile from the Nassau BOCES Arts in Education homepage.

      Click on "Log-Ins," then "District." When the "District Log-In" page appears enter your District User ID and district password.

      We STRONGLY recommend that you do not share your district password with others.

      Click "Contracted Programs," then click on the appropriate contract number.

      At the bottom of the page, click "Evaluations." The artist's evaluation of their experience in your school will appear. Again, this information is available only to you, the district administrator.

      NOTE: Evaluations of Visiting Artists' programs will be available on-line for everyone to review.

      *****NOTE****: It is extremely important that you check your e-mail EACH DAY and process Requests and Evaluations immediately. If you will be away from your office, PLEASE ask your assistant to assume these responsibilities on a daily basis.

  4. USING THE DISTRICT PROFILE
    (For Administrators Only)

    The Nassau BOCES Arts in Education website (http://www.nassauboces.org/artsined) provides management tools for district arts administrators that support the new on-line processing of artist requests and program evaluations. All of your arts in education program information is available in one place and it is password protected. On the homepage, click on "Log-Ins," then "District." When the "District" Log In page appears, enter your District User ID and district password. Across the top of the "District Profile" screen there are five menu buttons.

    1. Edit Your District Profile

      Selecting this menu option brings up the district profile. URL is your district's public website address, if you have one. The other information here (user ID, account password, evaluations password) has been assigned by the AIE Webmaster.

      You may not change your User ID.

      To change the account password or evaluations password, click "Edit Profile," make the necessary changes and click "Save." It is strongly recommended that you change both your passwords to NEW ones which are unique and that you carefully protect these new passwords. Your confidential district information is dependent upon the security you provide for your passwords.

      The other information in this profile screen is your district contact information. This is YOUR contact information as the District Arts Administrator, authorized by your district to submit program requests. The District Arts Administrator also serves on the BOCES Arts in Education Advisory Council.

      Please ensure that all information is always current and correct, especially your e-mail address as this serves as the conduit for all information going to and coming from BOCES.

      To add a District Arts Administrator or to edit existing information you will need to e-mail Arts In Education (). In your e-mail please provide all relevant information including:
      First and Last Name, Title, their office's street address city state and zip code, their e-mail address and if desired a second e-mail of an assistant to be copied on e-mail correspondences from BOCES.

    2. Review Your District's Program Requests

      By clicking "Program Requests," you will find a listing (by school year) of all Arts In Education programs that have been requested for your district and their current status. These programs must be reviewed and approved or declined. The staff at BOCES will issue contracts for these programs only after you have approved them.

    3. Review Your District's Contracted Programs

      By clicking "Contracted Programs," you will find a list (by school year) of all Arts In Education programs, past and future, which BOCES has approved or declined, and for which contracts have been generated. The top of the page features an "at a glance" version of your CoSer balances while the bottom of the page displays detailed information regarding your CoSer usage.

    4. Log Out

      Please make certain that you log out after completing your visit to the restricted access areas of the website. Doing so will prevent unauthorized use of your district information.
