Individual
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.
Systems for performing non-instructional duties and/or behavior management are often inefficient, resulting in some loss of instructional time. Traditional interventions and constant redirecting of student behavior either interrupts the flow of instruction or removes student from classrooms which decreases instructional time for all students. In-School-Suspensions (ISS) and Out-of-School-Suspensions (OSS) often do not include traditional curricular offerings and fail to address the root causes of disorderly student conduct.
Solution:
Research has shown that In-School-Suspensions and Out-of-School-Suspensions can be avoided by taking a proactive approach. Review360™’s embedded professional development strategies bank empowers teachers and school personnel with the knowledge and expertise to provide appropriate behavioral interventions to avoid the escalation of problem behaviors. Intervention strategies are integrated with current classroom management procedures to provide the least disruptive intervention. Objective and measurable goals are recorded in a Review360™ behavior plan to provide substantial data for determining the necessity of disciplinary measures.
Traditional interventions are reactive rather than constructive in promoting appropriate student behavior and school climate. Without a clear and consistent set of behavioral expectations, students do not have a framework on which to build successful social norms. Students lack the environmental consistency to foster social and academic success.
Solution:
Review360™ provides the consistency of expectations in behavior plans that are accessible to all teachers. Individual Review360™ student plans have a consistent rating scale for scoring objectives, intervention strategies and classroom rules. Review360™ facilitates consistency between home and school by providing email formats for reports, as well as printable intervention strategy tip sheets for parents to maintain similar routines. Review360™’s precise and established goals increase accountability of students by ensuring that students are aware of expectations.
Poor behavior often serves as an early indicator of limited or poor academic performance. Continued behavioral problems often lead to poor academic performance and the inability for a student to meet requirements and standards for academic promotion. Subsequently, there is a high correlation between retention and dropping out of school. Those with the highest needs/behavioral issues experience the highest incidence of academic failure and failure to meet promotion standards. Without proper intervention, behavioral problems often deteriorate into a cycle of academic failure that typically results in student retention or drop-out.
Solution:
Review360™ develops systematic, uniform and clear standards to assess student progress. Studies utilizing regression analysis indicated that higher student participation in Review360™ sessions significantly impacted academic improvement in each subject examined.
