We have used Class Dojo and Progress Book. Hero is great for discipline specifically. We also have e-school, but it does not allow the level of detail and follow up that Hero has. Before Hero, we had a really ineffective system for tracking student discipline, and it was hard …

I really have no other product on the market to compare it to. However, because the administration was having difficulty getting teachers to use Hero with fidelity they have changed to having similar events for students who do not receive any referrals in a 2-4 week period. …

We were one of the first schools who adopted using Hero in my school district, and since we've had such success, I have not sought out using any other programs.

I haven't tried any other products that are similar to Hero, but Hero is awesome and I can't see changing the program we have at Kalākaua.

The only product like Hero I've used is LiveSchool. In LiveSchool you have to create classes yourself, it does not track negative behaviors or detentions. In Hero students still only earn positive points, but there's an interface to allow students to see consequences for things …

We used a tardy tracking system a couple years ago but it wasn't as efficient as Hero. It did not keep track of any positive behaviors. I don't remember the name of the system but I know it only focused on the negative behaviors and giving out consequences for those negative …

This is the first program like this that I have used like this. However with that being said I feel that all schools should at least try a product like this. A way to reward all students and get school spirit up as well. I truly believe this product would stack up to any …

The only other program that I have used similar to Hero was Class Dojo. The thing that I loved about Class Dojo is that we were able to directly interact and converse with parents. Parents emails and cell phones were linked to the system. We were able to send out classroom …

I actually know of very little software for behavior management. I used ClassDojo before but it doesn't share with the entire school.

Hero is a great time saver for any busy school administrator. Students are able to use technology to earn positive points and also track and manage their own discipline. It is user-friendly and adaptable to the specific needs of the school. I love writing my own tracking codes and setting the action thresholds.

Hero had the Hero Homeroom where teachers could collaborate and receive rewards but that was discontinued. I think that a similar reward system for those who are supposed to be inputting information would be helpful, where consistency for the required input is rewarded. For example: teachers were to be recording points for all their students every period every day - if they received points for completing their input & could then choose to spend those points on rewards that would help encourage participation to make it more successful overall.
Too hands-off in making sure that implementation is as successful as possible.

Someone is always available. I like being able to call, chat, or email as needed. There are also a lot of tutorials and webinars provided. Hero does a good job of providing tools for onboarding new users and customers as well. It is easy to find whatever information you are looking for.

Definitely worth the money. The kids are happy, they're using the program as often as they can, and they appreciate the opportunity to be rewarded for their good behavior.
We've been able to sustain a store, and that's super awesome. I know we wouldn't be able to without the help of Hero and the ways in which we keep the hype.
I think I need more help with teacher adoption. We have a lot of initiatives at our school, so we're trying to take on a little more than we can chew at this point. We're getting there though!
