School Benefits

The Review360™ is a software application that is likely to benefit implementing school districts in the following manner:

• Reduced Disruptive Student Behavior

Disruptive student behavior diverts teachers from instructional activities and has been linked to increased stress and poor morale. A reduction in disruptive student behavior, is therefore, likely to benefit the district by creating rewarding classroom environments where teachers are able to spend more time on instruction and less time managing disruptive behavior.

• Compliance with Federal Mandates

According to a report written by Robert Silverstein, Director of the Center for the Study and Advancement of Disability Policy, recent IDEA regulations indicate that “a child with a disability whose behavior impedes his or her learning or that of others, the IEP team, in developing the IEP, must consider, if appropriate, strategies, including positive behavioral interventions, strategies, and supports to address that behavior.” As previously indicated the Review360™ guides teachers through the process of developing a behavioral intervention that is consistent with the IDEA regulations. The Review360™ facilitates compliance with IDEA and provides necessary documentation in case of litigation. Additionally, the Review360™ leads to the development of an intervention that is individualized, empirically supported, and emphasizes parental involvement.

• Increased Teacher Support

Recent educational initiatives call for restructuring of education systems and practices to more effectively serve children and youth with disabilities and other special needs in inclusive general education programs. Regular education teachers, however, frequency voice concerns that they are not adequately prepared to cope with students with special needs. The Review360™ is a web-based software solution that is capable of providing specific instruction and support, for regular and special education teachers, during the process of development and implementation of a behavioral plan for students who exhibit disruptive behaviors.

• Easy Documentation of Services

Traditionally, behavioral interventions result in multiple paper trails that are difficult to monitor and manage. The Review360™ uses standardized reporting forms that can be easily printed and stored with the student’s academic records. As an additional feature, the software program maintains all student behavioral plans on a secured centralized database, which makes it easy for administrators to access and review student behavioral data.

• Increased Teacher Efficiency

The Review360™ has been designed to help teachers work smarter, by reducing the amount of time managing disruptive student behavior and developing and implementing behavioral interventions for their classrooms.

• Easy Distribution Throughout the District

The use of a web-based platform translates into minimal IT demands for school district’s technology departments. In addition, teachers are likely to require less training due to increased familiarity with an Internet based interface. Use of a web platform also allows teachers access to the most current version of the program.
