“Students misbehave badly for substitute teachers, damaging relationships and requiring cleanup, while teacher is barred from writing referrals for sub-day incidents.”

“Teachers lack administrative support for managing defiant student behavior, leading to a reactive process that burdens both teachers and administrators.”

“Teachers need to efficiently communicate student behavioral incidents to parents without writing lengthy emails.”
ClassTrack: Behavior Manager
Teachers need a simple, real-time tool to track and address common misbehaviors like inappropriate language, uniform violations, and ignoring instructions across multiple classes and co-teachers. The current manual methods (clipboards, referrals) are time-consuming and inconsistent.
“Middle school teachers struggle with students who ignore or do not acknowledge their prompts and instructions during class.”
“A teacher is frustrated by students not complying with school uniform and personal tech policies, requiring them to write 20-30 referrals daily while administration doesn't enforce consequences and other teachers avoid writing referrals.”
