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.

At my middle school, we use HERO as a positive behavior tool. Students receive points for coming to class on time, showing character traits, doing what's right and being in uniform. It has increased positive behavior and reduced issues at school. Students can turn those points in and receive prizes.
  • 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 is well suited for students because it provides extrinsic motivation. It also helps adults because Homeroom HERO offers prizes as well.
  • HERO has had a positive ROI because negative behavior has decreased.
Have not used any other product.

Tardy Elimination Hero

Hero is being used site-wide at our High School. I estimate teacher participation varies from week to week between 70-99%. I estimate because I am not an admin and do not have access to site-wide data.
  • tracks positive student behavior site-wide. This is good because I think a lot of students feel they are ignored as teachers focus on the "problem kids". Hero makes it easy to acknowledge the students for doing what they are supposed to do on a daily basis.
  • tracks tardies sitewide. by pairing this with daily tardy sweeps it keeps kids from slipping through the cracks. Kids can't learn if they are not in class. This makes them acknowledge the impact/cost of being late to class.
  • by tracking all of this sitewide, admin is able to look for patterns and encourage more teachers to use a positive reward system. Also gives teachers access to a positive reward system without the cost and effort of maintaining a false economy (points, teacher "bucks" etc) and stocking rewards
  • prints a pass for tardy students so we know they have checked in. Downside, special printers and special paper required for them.
  • for me, it really comes down to making it easier to award points. On the desktop website for awarding Hero points, they need to streamline the process for awarding points. Currently, it requires one click too many in my opinion.
  • on the desktop website, more options for awarding points eg: 1. double points option. 2. on the class page make it possible to reselect the previous selection... like when you award a point to everyone present for being on time, make it possible to reselect that group. 3. A seating chart option would be super cool also.
  • on the mobile app, add the behavior tracking by class option from the desktop website. I know that would probably be a lot of pinching and scrolling and zooming for most but still be cool to have that option. My Galaxy Note would probably be big enough to make it worthwhile.
I work at a public high school that had a big tardy problem. Some said this would not work at our age group but we jumped in with both feet and have seen amazing and undeniable results that anyone could see who was on campus before implementation. This is good for organizations that want to acknowledge the ones who are doing what they are supposed to do while still taking care of the problems. Could possibly even be used for a business to enable managers to promote desirable behaviors such as early to work, good customer service, specific target behaviors ex "always ask if they want their receipt" etc.
  • increased number of students in class on time
  • decreased number of students in the quad or hallways after the tardy bell
  • increased number of teachers offering rewards for positive behavior
  • created school-wide behavior data and enabled tracking of it
  • increased teacher use of positive tier 1 behavior interventions
  • honestly, if they sucked, I would say so and still get my points for writing the review. I already aired my one gripe which is making it easier to award points. Currently, that is a bit time consuming but the results make it worthwhile.
I really have not used a program like Hero to compare it to, sorry
  • giving points continues to be one step too many with a class full of students.
Yes
mediocre. good for giving individual students a point. Not good for walking around and giving points to multiple students.
again. for the day to day usage, adding points is a bit of a chore but I keep doing it because the students respond.
