Advanced Approvals
Sign-off, built in.
How do you teach?
Extra lessons, moved slots and timesheet edits change without sign-off, or approvals get lost in email. Advanced Approvals, in development, will route each change to the right approver, remind them and keep a record.
Tutors add extra lessons without asking, and your margins slip. Soon you’ll choose which changes need approval and who approves them.
Teachers move class times without telling anyone. Soon, schedule changes will go to the right approver, with reminders and a record.
Extra trainings get added without budget sign-off. Soon, each change will route to its approver, with a record of who approved what.
District programs need sign-off before schedules change. Soon, extra lessons and moved slots will route to the right approver automatically.
Workshop changes and timesheet edits will route to the right approver, with reminders and a record. In development.
Parents won’t need this. It keeps your child’s schedule from changing without the program’s sign-off.

The problem
No control over who changes the schedule
In large programs, extra lessons, moved slots and edited timesheets change spending and schedules. Without sign-off, costs drift; with approvals by email, requests get lost.
The usual way
Managers approve by email and chase answers in group chats.
How Pencil Spaces solves it
Large programs need control over what changes: an extra lesson, a moved slot, an edited timesheet. Advanced Approvals will let you choose which changes need approval and who approves them, route each request to the right person, remind them when something is waiting, and keep a record of who approved what and when. In development.
What changes
Spending and schedules under control, without approvals lost in email.
What we’re building
- Choose what needs approval, and by whom
- Approve or decline in one click
- Reminders when a request is waiting
- A record of who approved what, and when
What it looks like
In practice
A tutor requests an extra lesson. The request goes to the program manager, who gets a reminder the next morning and approves it in one click. The record shows who approved it and when.
In a 1:1 lesson
A tutor’s timesheet edit waits for your approval before payroll runs.
In a group class
A moved class time goes to the head of department, who declines it in one click.
In a virtual training
An extra cohort is approved by the budget owner, and the record shows when.
In your classroom
Extra intervention lessons need the coordinator’s sign-off before they’re booked.
In the training room
A facilitator’s request to move a workshop reaches the right manager, with a reminder.
At home
Parents won’t see this. It keeps your child’s schedule steady.
