TrackSEL Pro is the fastest way for SEL and PBIS teams to track student behavior throughout the school day. Built by an educator who runs a SOAR team, this app replaces clipboards, spreadsheets, and guesswork with a simple system your whole team can use in seconds — even during passing periods. HOW IT WORKS Teachers open their class and see every student on one screen. Score each student for the period, tap behavior tallies (like "On Task" or "Phone Out"), and everything is logged instantly. No typing. No searching. Just tap and go. NEW IN VERSION 2.0 Per-Period Scoring — Assign points per class period. See daily totals and percentages at a glance. Behavior Tallies — Quick positive and negative observations with emoji-coded categories you customize. Student Goals — Set weekly, biweekly, or monthly behavior targets. Track progress with visual progress bars. Behavior Notices — Flag students who need attention. All teachers see the notice badge across classes. Hallway Monitor — Track behavior during passing periods, lunch, assemblies, and free time. Sort by points to spot students who need support. Color-Coded Cards — Assign custom colors to student cards for quick visual identification. ADMIN BACKEND Admins manage everything: student rosters, class schedules, staff assignments, and behavior categories. Add your own custom behaviors with emoji, point values, and descriptions. Control which behaviors appear in which classes. Set staff permissions so aides see only their assigned classes while lead teachers get the full picture. SMART NOTIFICATIONS Configure alerts per staff member: get notified when a student drops below a point threshold, hits critical levels, or earns star student status. Set point-entry reminders at the frequency that works for you. ANALYTICS & TRENDS Track behavior trends with daily charts, category breakdowns, and student rankings. Filter by timeframe, student, or class. Export everything as CSV for IEP documentation, team meetings, or district reporting. DESIGNED FOR REAL CLASSROOMS Period-based navigation matches your actual schedule. Expandable student cards for quick or detailed entry. Behavior chips you customize to match your program. Cross-class visibility so every teacher sees the full picture. Supports admin, teacher, and aide roles with different permissions. Whether you run a SOAR team, PBIS program, or any SEL behavior tracking system, TrackSEL Pro was built to match how your team actually works.

Progress Grove helps K–5 counselors, teachers and behavior specialists record behavior episodes as they happen and turn them into clear, dated observations for intervention reviews and MTSS meetings. MADE FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE MOMENT • Tap Start event when a student is dysregulated, then Escalating, Calming and Regulated as things change. The clock keeps time on its own. • Handing off to the counselor, the office or another teacher? Record who took over in one tap. • A safety event is one more tap, and it doesn't end the session. • Switch to another student and the open session keeps running. • Undo the last tap, or correct a time later. A timer left running is flagged so it can't skew the averages. ADD CONTEXT AFTERWARD • Tap what happened before, what the student did and what helped. • Add a short note by typing or dictating. Dictation is transcribed on the device, and the audio isn't saved. • Sessions waiting for details collect in one list, so nothing is forgotten. SEE WHAT'S WORKING • Each student's history shows how long episodes last, how much of that time was escalating, and which supports were used. • Filter to favorites or to students with sessions that still need notes. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No accounts, no server, no analytics and no ads. • Students are a number and a color badge, never a name. The app warns you if a note looks like it contains a name. • Records stay in the app's private storage on your device until you choose to export them. • Everything works offline. YOUR SCHOOL KEEPS THE RECORDS • Export a CSV report or a full backup and choose where it goes, such as your school's Google Drive. • Schools can install the free Progress Grove Google Sheet in their own Google Workspace to build behavior overviews and the behavior section of MTSS reports from those exports. • Optional Face ID or passcode lock, and a backup reminder so a lost phone doesn't mean lost records.
