Our district uses the Universal Behavior Screener to help to proactively identify students who might need additional behavioral, social, and emotional support. We use the data to look at campus trends as well as teacher trends to be able to provide additional support as needed. We also use the screener to monitor students' progress in their ability to follow safe, respectful, and responsible expectations. Teachers are able to rate their students using the easy-to-understand rubric.  The Screener provides us with clear and easy-to-read reports to review, which we can then use to make a plan for student and teacher success.
