1. An Introduction into Behavior

Abre’s Behavior App allows schools and districts to replace the often misplaced paper referral forms with a digital and automated workflow. Teachers and administrators spend less time writing or reviewing referrals. All while ensuring each stakeholder has the ability to monitor a student’s behavior over time.

Behavior is critical to so many processes in education. Our customers frequently use the behavior app for MTSS, PBIS, and state reporting. It’s a versatile app that can do quite a bit. Importantly, we can use data collected by the behavior app to answer fundamental questions.
