Substitute teachers face hostility and difficulty enforcing a strict no-phone policy when the primary teacher is absent.

No software-based solution exists to help substitute teachers manage student phone use without direct confrontation, as existing policies rely on enforcement by the regular teacher.

App Concept

SubBehavior Manager

A classroom management app that allows substitute teachers to silently monitor and limit student phone use via a dashboard. It provides real-time alerts for disruptive behavior and lets teachers set customizable policies that are automatically enforced through device-level restrictions.

Key Features
  • Real-time classroom dashboard showing phone usage status per student
  • One-click quiet mode to disable non-essential apps during class
  • Pre-set policy templates for substitute teachers (e.g., 'No phones during lecture, breaks allowed')
  • Non-intrusive behavior alerts (vibration on teacher's device) when policy is violated
Target Users: Substitute teachers in K-12 schools, typically working short-term assignments across multiple classrooms
Revenue Model: $10/mo per substitute teacher SaaS subscription, or school-district licensing at $2/student/year
