Unified Classroom Behavior 4+

The app would be more useful if it let you sort classrooms by dollars instead of just first name and last name. It would also be more useful if it automatically logged you in.

The app and desktop website are both so slow and glitchy that it is extremely impractical to use them with fidelity for PBIS in a classroom setting. Points that you give to students on the app don’t sync to the desktop website without refreshing, and vice versa. Attendance is inconsistent across the app and desktop site. Also, and perhaps most importantly, there is NO audible feedback for students earning points on either platform, which is certainly would be one of the most useful aspects of this platform from a classroom management perspective. Overall, it seems as if Kickboard, or “Universal Classroom Behavior Support,” was developed without any input from teachers nor any short- or long-term field testing. I only continue to use it because I literally have no choice at my school.

Kickboard works well, making sure our school-wide discipline system is easy and quick to use. Latest update streamlines the apps functions and adds some organizational features that teachers have said they’d like. This is still just a four star review because the first version of the update crippled the app beyond use for several days.
