Hero is a versatile tool that is widely used in schools to manage various aspects of school culture and student behavior. One of its key use cases is the management of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports, discipline, and accountability systems. Through the use of Hero, teachers and administrators are able to track and examine data related to student behavior, allowing them to address issues such as tardiness, attendance, uniform violations, and other behaviors that impact the overall school environment.
Teachers have reported significant improvements in student behavior since implementing Hero. In fact, they have assigned 50% fewer detentions in the third year compared to the first year, indicating a positive shift in behavior among students. Hero is also used as a school-wide incentive program to reward good behavior. Points are earned by students for exhibiting positive behaviors, which can then be exchanged for rewards and prizes. This has not only encouraged students to strive for better behavior but has also created a more positive school culture.
Furthermore, Hero is highly valued by teachers as an efficient tool for tracking basic behaviors like tardies and uniform violations. The user-friendly app makes it easy for educators to input and monitor these behaviors, freeing up valuable time that can be spent on other educational tasks. Additionally, Hero is implemented at both individual schools and entire school districts with the goal of improving behavior, addressing attendance issues, and creating a standardized system for tracking and managing student conduct.
Overall, through its comprehensive features and ease of use, Hero has proven to be an effective solution for schools looking to promote positive behaviors, reduce disciplinary issues, and foster a conducive learning environment for their students.
Valuable tool for acknowledging positive student behavior site-wide: Many users have found Hero to be a valuable tool for recognizing and acknowledging positive student behavior across their school. It ensures that all students, not just the problem kids, are acknowledged and appreciated.
Great feature for tracking tardies sitewide: Several reviewers have praised Hero's ability to track tardies sitewide and pair it with daily tardy sweeps. This feature helps prevent students from slipping through the cracks and highlights the impact and cost of being late to class.
User-friendly interface: Users appreciate Hero's user-friendly interface, which makes it easy to navigate and use. The self-explanatory design allows teachers, administrators, and parents to quickly access classroom data, track behaviors, and monitor progress.
Streamlining Point Awarding Process: Some users have expressed the need for streamlining the process of awarding points on the desktop website, as they feel it currently requires too many clicks. They suggest that the point-awarding process be made more efficient and user-friendly.
Lack of Seating Chart Option on Mobile App: Several users have suggested adding a seating chart option on the mobile app to make behavior tracking easier. This feature would allow teachers to easily track and record student behaviors in real-time.
Need for Improved Data Report Detail: Users have mentioned that while they appreciate having access to data reports, they feel that there is room for improvement in terms of the level of detail provided. They would like to see more comprehensive and customizable data reports that can provide deeper insights into student behavior and progress.

(1-11 of 11)Classroom Management Tool - as effective as you make it!
- Hero provides various ways to be able to register the targeted behaviors.
- Hero provides a user-friendly online interface.
- Hero will tailor the program to meet your group's needs.
- Clear interfacing app for entering points.
- Hero had the Hero Homeroom where teachers could collaborate and receive rewards but that was discontinued. I think that a similar reward system for those who are supposed to be inputting information would be helpful, where consistency for the required input is rewarded. For example: teachers were to be recording points for all their students every period every day - if they received points for completing their input & could then choose to spend those points on rewards that would help encourage participation to make it more successful overall.
- Too hands-off in making sure that implementation is as successful as possible.
- Too techie for non-tech savvy people.
Why Hero works for the students and staff at CLMS!
- The Hero system is very easy to use and very easy to monitor.
- Reports are emailed to me weekly that track the behaviors that have been logged in by my teachers and staff which is very helpful.
- Customer service from the Hero staff has been excellent and their response to any concerns or questions is addressed within 24 hours.
- I am always looking for costs to be lower, so that would be my only request.
HERO is my Hero!
- Allows ALL students to earn points at the push of a button.
- Connects with infinite Campus so student schedules and info are always accurate on the Hero site.
- Allows teachers to create their own groups for after school programs or even small groups in their classrooms.
- Perhaps the redemption system could be easier. I'd like to click a student's name and type in how many points I'd like to subtract/redeem. That'd help the process along.
- Also to allow track codes to track point amounts larger than 250. We have some things that are more expensive, so it's difficult to have to take multiple steps.
- Maybe Hero could help with an inventory management system for stores?
You will regret not using HERO
- Hero gets students to class on time. We had a terrible problem with tardiness and Hero has allowed us to cut our tardies by 70% for the year.
- Hero gets students participating in class. When students know they are rewarded for participation, they really start participating.
- Hero gets students treating others with kindness. Students initially treated students with respect for points, but they continue to do so, at least in my classroom.
- The scanner function on the mobile application could be improved
- The reports function from the website could have more filters, but it gets the job done.
- The forgot password function does not work. If a teacher forgets their password, the system administrator has to go in and reset it.
HERO
- Students receive points for being on time, therefore they are never late.
- Students receive points for being in uniform, therfore we know who is a part of our campus.
- Sometimes HERO does not update students who have left the school or who have entered. So teachers have to input manually. That can be improved.
HERO
- Encourages students
- Tracks detentions
- Helps reduce tardies
- Encourages school-wide spirit
- Not all teachers use it
- Not all students care about points
- Some teachers use it ineffectively
- To help students that need extra encouragement, and improve the attendance rates at school, we have seen great improvements and I would highly recommend HERO to all educators; it takes time and buy in but it will work. The key is to get more teachers to buy into the program.
HERO-At Park
- It has helped us reduce tardies and absences with students
- It has helped spread kindness throughout our school
- It has helped with parent/student involvement in meetings and events.
- I wish I could give more than one point at a time
- Sometimes the app doesn't load quickly
Hero ROCKS
- Encourages students to be on time for class.
- Encourages greater class participation.
- Promotes student kindness.
- I would love to see the option for students to see their progress toward earning certain prizes.
Hero has potential!
- Helps to reduce tardies and absences in classroom.
- Helps to engage students in activities when points are involved.
- Administrators and parents are able to access instant classroom data to check in on their child/student.
- Teachers are only able to access behaviors for students. I wish there was a feature that would allow teachers to possibly track students assignments/work.
- Teachers should be able to select how many points they would like to give a student, instead of just being able to give 1 point at time. The task of giving students multiple points can be very time consuming.
- Sometimes the system seems to freeze. I don't know if that's due to the site itself or our building's internet speed.
