EducationBehavior Management3MediumSpecial Education Teacher$ implied

Special education teachers manually use paper check-in/check-out sheets for student behavior interventions, causing students to feel embarrassed and teachers to forget to score unless physically handed the paper.

Existing paper-based CICO processes are socially stigmatizing for students and rely on staff remembering to fill them out without prompting. No digital alternative is mentioned that integrates reminders and discreet scoring during brief passing periods.
