Quick Start Guide

Launch your first classroom in under 30 minutes.

  1. 1

    Create Your Workspace

    2 minutes

    Sign up with your school email, pick a plan, and confirm email verification to unlock onboarding.

    • Use a shared district or school email when possible to streamline rostering approvals.
    • Enable multi-factor authentication for admin accounts during first login.
    • Invite a co-teacher or BCBA so you have coverage during sessions.

    Pro tipBest practice: capture your support PIN from the welcome email—district IT will need it for SIS integrations.

  2. 2

    Configure Classroom Defaults

    5 minutes

    Tailor class settings, service minutes, and notification preferences so logs align with IEP requirements.

    • Confirm your time zone and school calendar to keep reports aligned with session days.
    • Map service minutes for each student so compliance alerts fire at the right thresholds.
    • Turn on daily summaries for yourself and weekly digests for guardians where appropriate.

    Pro tipSave templates for common classroom schedules—you can reuse them when you spin up new sections next term.

  3. 3

    Import Students & Team

    6 minutes

    Load your roster and add collaborators so data collection starts with the right people in the loop.

    • Bulk import via CSV or ClassLink to avoid manual entry errors.
    • Assign roles (Teacher, Paraprofessional, Specialist) to control feature access.
    • Share the behavior logging walkthrough video with new collaborators.

    Pro tipKeep student naming consistent (first name + last initial) to stay FERPA compliant while enabling easy lookups.

  4. 4

    Customize Behaviors & Interventions

    8 minutes

    Align tracking buttons and replacement behaviors with your current BIPs before you start logging.

    • Review the default library and deactivate behaviors you will not monitor this term.
    • Add intensity scales and antecedent tags that match your district language.
    • Pre-load preferred interventions so they are one tap away during incidents.

    Pro tipPair each behavior with an observable definition—avoid subjective language like “disrespectful.”

  5. 5

    Launch Daily Tracking

    Ongoing

    Use one-tap logging during instruction, then add context immediately after class for data fidelity.

    • Pin the Daily Tracking view on your tablet for quick access between rotations.
    • Capture notes within five minutes of an event while details are fresh.
    • Log replacement behavior successes—not just incidents—to balance reinforcement data.

    Pro tipSet a two-minute buffer at the end of each block to reconcile missed logs before moving on.

  6. 6

    Review Insights & Share Wins

    10 minutes weekly

    Check analytics weekly, export snapshots, and close the loop with families and support teams.

    • Schedule a recurring reminder to review dashboard trends every Friday.
    • Export PDF reports ahead of IEP meetings or parent touchpoints.
    • Log follow-up actions in the student timeline so the team sees next steps.

    Pro tipBookmark the analytics URL in your LMS or staff portal to keep progress monitoring one click away.

Quick Reference Guide

Keep these essentials handy during busy school days.

Daily Logging Essentials

  • One-Tap Logging

    Use mobile or tablet view for fastest input; offline mode buffers entries for up to 24 hours.

  • Context Notes

    Add 2–3 sentence summaries noting antecedent, behavior, consequence, and intervention.

  • Replacement Tracking

    Record prompted and independent replacement behaviors to document skill acquisition.

Data Quality Checklist

  • Consistency

    Set shared definitions during team huddles so paraprofessionals log incidents the same way.

  • Privacy

    Avoid full last names in notes; use initials when referencing peers per FERPA guidance.

  • Audit Trail

    Export weekly CSV backups to secure district storage for longitudinal studies.

Rapid Reporting

  • Weekly Digest

    Send automated dashboards to families on Friday at 2 PM to close communication loops.

  • IEP Prep

    Use filters by behavior, intensity, and setting to pull evidence aligned to BIP goals.

  • Escalation Alerts

    Turn on SMS alerts for more than three major incidents within a 60-minute window.
