District

Psychological Software Solutions, Inc. recognizes the behavioral issues and ever-increasing demands that educators face at the district, school, classroom and individual levels. Review360™ provides an easy-to-use solution that addresses these demands while addressing the needs of all students.

Topic:  Meeting Federal and State Education Standards

Federal education standards require districts to demonstrate annual yearly academic progress, improve graduation rates and provide a free and appropriate education to all students – including those with some of the most challenging behavior and academic needs. Failure to meet these standards costs students and administrators precious time and resources.

Solution:  Review360™ Student Portfolios

Review360™ equips districts with student-level portfolios to monitor and improve all aspects of student success.  Developed using evidence-based research, the flexibility of Review360™ enables districts to implement Positive Behavior Interventions and Support (PBIS) and Response to Intervention (RtI) strategies for all students, regardless of need or campus.  Review360™ can be implemented in any setting – from traditional campuses to alternative, specialized classroom environments.

Topic: Lower Teacher Turnover Rates

Teachers cite behavior problems as one of the top reasons for leaving the profession. Teacher turnover perpetuates personnel shortages in high-need areas, especially low-income, urban districts and those with high numbers of limited English proficiency (LEP) and special education students. Turnover results in decreased instructional continuity and lost investment in professional development.

Solution: Review360™ Maximizes professional development, minimizes paperwork

With embedded, ongoing professional development, Review360™ provides teachers with resources to effectively respond to the unique needs of each student.  Through a well-organized, web-based system, teachers spend less time completing paperwork and more time implementing curriculum.  The Review360™ dashboard interface facilitates easy access to student-level progress data and teacher implementation fidelity.  

Topic: Due Process and Dispute Resolution

Maintaining positive stakeholder engagement in education requires careful and often costly documentation, paperwork and, all too often, litigation.  Splintered data systems and poor administrator-level communication shortchange students and lead to costly due process challenges.

Solution:  Review360™ evidence-based support and accountability

Successful education requires support and involvement of parents, teachers and administrators. Review360™ enables stakeholders opportunities to collaborate, communicate and partner to meet student needs.  With Review360™, districts can ensure teacher accountability while collecting and assessing real-time student data compiled from ongoing progress monitoring. Equipped with this information, districts can develop data-driven policies, procedures and strategies.

Topic: Effective Professional Development

Most teachers enter schools under-prepared to effectively manage their classrooms.  New and experienced teachers alike often lack resources and effective strategies to address complex student behavioral needs and challenges. Federal and state requirements underscore the need for evidence based classroom practices to better support the needs of students.

Solution:  Strategic, individualized professional development

A PSS team of seasoned educators and behavioral specialists deliver a well-designed series of on demand professional development programs.  The web-based technology creates a virtual network to provide the professional development in order to sustain improvement over time for school-wide and classroom practices.  Data aggregated through our products allow our team and district administrators to identify and respond to problem areas with targeted, evidence-based professional development.

Topic: Utilizing District Programs Effectively

Poorly aligned programs waste district resources and do not meet student needs. Uncoordinated, redundant services fail to meet student needs. Failure to match needs with service results in the poor use of programs such as Extended Year Services (EYS), behavioral support programs, tutoring, resource instruction and dedicated classrooms.

Solution:  Accurately identify, assess and respond to student needs

Review360™ functions as a district-wide behavioral Response to Intervention (RtI) program. With this product, administrators and teachers can appropriately identify student needs and respond with positive behavioral interventions, while coordinating points of service.  The web-based functionality of Review360™ facilitates coordinate services and provides a means of communicating and tracking the use of particular services, staff and resources.  PSS works in collaboration with school districts to conduct scientific-based research to support district behavioral initiatives and can be aligned to current district processes and procedures.
