About

ChalkNote

Features
Read full description

ChalkNote, formerly ClassTrack, is a behaviour log for teachers, built by a teacher for the thirty seconds you actually have. Swipe a student right for positive or left for negative and the sheet opens with half the decision already made. Tap what happened, and get back to the lesson. By the time the parent meeting comes around, a term of small notes has already become a report. Your records stay yours. No account, no sign-up, and no advertising for anyone, free or paid. ChalkNote never sends student names or behaviour records anywhere. They leave your device only if you export them, turn on a backup to your own account or folder, or choose online recognition for a voice note — which is what makes ChalkNote easy to put in front of a principal or a privacy officer. LOG IT IN SECONDS • Paste in your class list and start logging in a minute • Swipe or tap a student, pick a behaviour, done • Log the whole class at once when everyone earned it, or hold a name to pick several students • Positive and negative behaviours, grouped under the learning skills report cards ask about • Undo any log for 8 seconds, and correct its behaviour, time or note later • Add a note by typing or by voice • Works entirely offline — a dead Wi-Fi day changes nothing SEE WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING • Class and per-student summaries • Every student's last 14 school days, right on the roster • Sort by who has gone longest without a positive, and find who needs a good word • Behaviour trends and category breakdowns • Every log at a glance, searchable by student, behaviour or note • Notes about a student as a whole, kept on their own page WALK INTO THE MEETING READY • Export a PDF report for one student or the whole class, or a spreadsheet of the logs • Pick the period: this week, the last 30 days, or any dates you choose, like a term or the year • Add a comment for whoever will read it, and signature lines for the meeting • Plain enough to hand to a parent, specific enough for an IEP meeting or a referral A NEW SCHOOL YEAR, WITHOUT STARTING OVER • Archive last year's class • Start a fresh copy with the same students • Move a student to another class, logs included YOUR DATA, AND YOUR BACKUP • Back up and restore whenever you like • Automatic backups daily or weekly • Export a backup to a folder you choose every week, by itself • Free, deliberately and permanently — your records are not a hostage FREE, WITH NO ADS Unlimited classes, unlimited students, unlimited behaviour logs, PDF exports and backups, plus 2 behaviour types of your own. Not a trial, and not capped at one class. CHALKNOTE PLUS • Behaviour heatmaps — which days and times behaviours cluster, per class and per student • Charts in your PDF reports — category breakdowns, trends over time, when in the week and day behaviour happens, and how a period compares with the one before • Your school logo on exported reports • Unlimited behaviour types of your own — add, delete, reorder and organize them and their categories • A report for each student in a class in one go, each a PDF of its own to send to their family • A seating chart — pick a student or a whole table by where they sit when you log Plus is available monthly or annually; the annual plan works out to about half the monthly price and starts with a month free for new subscribers. Prices are shown in your own currency before anything is charged. SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS ChalkNote Plus is an auto-renewing subscription.
