5 Steps To Improving Student Behavior = Review360™

HOUSTON, TX., January 22, 2009 -- Psychological Software Solutions, the industry leader in behavioral improvement solutions for schools, today announced the results from several implementations which demonstrate that the use of their 5 Steps to Improving Student Behavior and Review360™ leads to noteworthy reductions in disruptive behavior, increased rates of inclusion for students with emotional and behavioral disorders, dramatic reduction in school districts’ expenditures on behavioral services and ultimately significant gains in academic achievement.  

Developed by a team of psychologists and behavioral experts and implemented in both regular and special education settings, Review360™ is the only web-based, positive behavioral management solution to incorporate all five steps essential to helping school districts improve student behavior, achieve associated academic improvement and implement Response to Intervention (RtI) for behavior. Review360 combines state-of-the-art application of technology with the latest research to help students with discipline and behavior issues achieve success.

According to the U.S. Department of Education, approximately one third of students have psychosocial problems that act as a barrier to their benefiting fully from instruction, resulting in poor academic progress.

“The team at Psychological Software Solutions understands that one of the greatest challenges facing districts today is the development of systems that effectively support teachers in the process of improving student behavior,” said Dr. Stewart Pisecco, President, Psychological Software Solutions. “Applied by some of the largest school districts in the country, Review360™ is the only behavioral improvement solution to work across multiple tiers of intervention.”

The 5 Steps to Improving Student Behavior
The 5 Steps to Improving Student Behavior embedded in Review360™ are consistent with national efforts to implement Positive Behavioral Support and RtI initiatives and will be familiar to experienced educators who work with students that exhibit a wide range of behavioral challenges,” said Pisecco. “Review360 takes a systematic approach to applying these steps to facilitate positive behavioral changes in the classroom in a teacher-friendly and efficient manner.”

Step 1: Track – Student behavioral progress starts with observing and identifying student behavior.  
Step 2: Aggregate – Compiling information from teachers and others provides a more complete picture of the student’s behavior.
Step 3: Analyze – The data that has been tracked and aggregated are analyzed to better understand the student and issues leading to poor behavior.
Step 4: Intervene – Equipped with a data-driven analysis, teachers are provided with research based strategies that prepare them to improve student behavior and monitor students’ progress.
Step 5: Communicate – The final step is communicating actions and progress at multiple levels to include everyone who is important in a student’s education.
“Review360 is research-based, allows us to easily document the delivery of interventions, tracks student progress, automatically analyzes student data for the teacher, and it is easy to use,” stated Carolyn Guess, Asst. Superintendent of Special Education, Houston ISD.
“We are proud and fortunate to work with an extraordinary list of school districts to achieve the behavioral results we have always known are possible,” stated Pisecco.  “The results released today demonstrate that utilizing all 5 steps to improving student behavior and Review360™ makes it possible for all school districts to attain our shared goal of helping every child reach their full potential.”
