BehaviourWatch

Improve behaviour to enhance the learning experience

Tracking behaviour can be very time-consuming. Managing all of the information can be even more daunting. As the paper piles up, can you really say that you’re effectively handling the reporting of incidents, let alone manage them? What would happen if information goes missing, or is recorded incorrectly, or not even acted upon? With web-based electronic forms, you could be recording incidents as they happen then automatically emailing them to relevant staff, leading to a paperless environment. With rich and detailed analysis, you would be able to improve classroom behaviour and the learning experience.

BehaviourWatch is an advanced web-based system which allows teachers to log behaviour incidents online and eliminates the need for paper-based reports. When incidents are logged automatic emails will immediately alert relevant staff and intelligent analysis enables quick identification of areas of concern. Most importantly the system is completely tailored to the individual school's needs.

Millionaire for Schools

Millionaire for Schools is an exciting new partnership between Charanga and 2waytraffic bringing Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? - the world’s most popular quiz format - to a school audience.

Following extensive consultation, the classic format has been adapted to make it more suitable for classroom and home use whilst retaining the essential elements, such as the sound effects and visuals, which make it such a success.

An easy to use web-based interface allows teachers to create their own quizzes or select from an extensive collection of high quality curriculum quizzes covering all subjects and Key Stages. The content of these quizzes is monitored by an Advisory Board comprising many of the UK’s leading educators ensuring that all content is suitable and appropriate to different ages and curricula.

The result is a highly flexible resource which teachers know and trust will provide their pupils with an engaging and stimulating activity, and, themselves with lots of opportunities to teach and impart knowledge.

Besides using a whiteboard for classroom use, quizzes can also be embedded in learning platforms and VLEs meaning pupils (and parents!) can continue learning at home!

Teachers2Parents

Teachers2Parents is a communication service, which works with your school database to give you a simple and more efficient way of communicating with parents.

Teachers do not have the time to communicate with a large number of parents on a regular basis. Yet parents would provide better support to their child if they were kept informed more often. For various reasons, phone calls to parents can be unnecessarily time consuming and school reports are relatively infrequent. Using text messaging, teachers can inform parents far more frequently; putting pupils under constant pressure. At the same time, parents can also be notified to praise their child for good progress at school.

Each text message is automatically personalised to include the pupils name. As there is no need to type each message or any part of it, they are sent immediately with immense ease.
