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.

Hero is a great time saver for any busy school administrator. Students are able to use technology to earn positive points and also track and manage their own discipline. It is user-friendly and adaptable to the specific needs of the school. I love writing my own tracking codes and setting the action thresholds.

I would highly recommend this as long as you are able to get 90% or more buy-in. However, if there is not a MAJORITY buy-in I don't feel it will be successful. My colleagues and I found that classroom management was much improved in the classrooms of us who were sold on using it and used it with fidelity, adding extra intensives because of infidelity in other classrooms. It became obvious to the administration that the lack of buy-in was destroying the program outcome.

Hero is used school wide as a part of the PBIS programming. It allows us to track behaviors, tardies, detentions, and teacher comments all in one place. There is an option for printing passes for students with a separate machine that plugs into phones and computers and makes it all even more convenient. Positive points can be coded for different purposes including special codes for school wide initiatives.

I think it is appropriate in all scenarios, as long as there is full staff to help with support and implementation. When there is an imbalance of implementation, it renders the program less powerful. The entire staff needs to be speaking the same language so that the students see a united front. The staff needs to keep up the gusto and excitement all year, not just at the beginning so that things do not become too mundane. Therefore, pre-planning the year may be necessary, where events can be pre-thought and tasks pre-assigned. This keeps things exciting for the staff as well as for the students.

Definitely would recommend Hero to any schools that do not have a PBIS system set up or that are looking to revamp their current program because Hero has taken us farther than our previous PBIS system.

One particular scenario were Hero was well suited is targeting specific behaviors, for example, making sure the students wear their identification cards every day. If they do, they will get points. Not only is wearing the ID helpful, it also lets us identify anyone who does not belong on campus.

Hero does actively reward the positive behaviors in students. It also promotes more positive behaviors in students who have had some challenges before. In this technology heavy world, the students need more direct online access. This will allow them to see their progress, see the rewards they want and work at achieving them. Even if they behave just for the prize, eventually they will see how productive positive behavior can really be.

Hero is a fantastic tool for teachers to manage bad behavior and support good behaviors from students. Tardies are usually a huge problem for teachers of any level. With Hero, they can track tardies electronically. Teachers can also enter points for classroom disruptions easily. This allows for the learning atmosphere not to be interrupted to a large degree.

HERO is well suited for students because it provides extrinsic motivation. It also helps adults because Homeroom HERO offers prizes as well.

  • 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.

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.

I think the program has great potential. I think students would be even more involved if they were able to have a more interactive engagement with Hero directly. Most students don't know how many points they have, unless teachers provide it to them. If there was a way to provide students with instant points checking, tardies, or incentives, I think they would be more inclined to show interest in the program.

Hero is great to track tardies and positive behavior in a large school or somewhere that has chronic tardies in the building. A smaller school that doesn't have these issues might not want to use Hero.
