Behavior Manager

With antisocial behavior and school discipline capturing the attention of our schools and communities, and with more students in the mainstream seen as "at-risk," educators are increasingly challenged to find ways to assess, analyze, plan and implement positive behavior improvement plans that are child centered and easily understood. By applying the "best practices" of Applied Behavior Analysis to relational database technology, Behavior Manager delivers to you an easy-to-use tool that provides immediate analysis of outcomes that currently takes hours, or even days, to review. This saving of time and data reliability enables educators to spend more time in direct service.

Behavior Manager offers a solution to a variety of factors that impact schools ability to effectively educate:
  • Regular education teachers cite student behavior as a major reason for leaving the field
  • Special Education teachers cite paperwork as a major reason for leaving the field
  • President's Commission on Excellence in Special Education recommends a reduction in the amount of paperwork required by teachers
  • Teacher preparation programs are failing to fully prepare teachers to work effectively with the EBD population
  • No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 focus on assessment and progress monitoring

Screens are intuitive and easy to navigate to increase teacher efficiency. They are also transparent, allowing teachers to focus on the students rather than the program - improving a teacher's effectiveness and reducing the amount of time necessary to complete the paperwork required by special education legislation.

Teachers create a Behavior Improvement Plan and record student progress towards achieving their objectives. Quantitative and qualitative data are recorded into the system allowing teachers to keep current, confidential records of student outcomes and to quickly analyze student progress.

Student performance and growth are available in a variety of outcome reports and graphs that enable team members to make effective data-based decisions.

Benefits:

Behavior Manager is a web-based program enabling teachers, supervisors, case managers and other members of the multidisciplinary team, including parents, to easily monitor the behavioral outcomes of a student from virtually any location while ensuring confidentiality of student records.

  • Establish a confidential student record that is current and reliable
  • Utilize a succinct reporting mechanism for serious behavioral events
