Case Studies

sleuth is designed to highlight trends and patterns in behaviour. Interpreting the reports that sleuth produces and making subsequent changes to a school's behaviour policy can have a real and immediate effect on behaviour.

As confident as we are about the benefits of using sleuth to track behaviour, we are aware that schools that are interested in learning more about sleuth may want to hear about the benefits from an independent source. The following case studies were compiled from interviews with schools with a view to answering some of your questions as well as illustrating how they are improving behaviour management through using sleuth. They are from a cross section of users, some having only just purchased, others having used sleuth over a number of terms.
