The Awareness They Need
2. Introducing:
TEACHINT
Human Intelligence With A Teacher’s Touch
❖ Real-time insight into everyday teacher concerns
❖ Easy-to-use applications for mobile and desktop
❖ Anonymous reporting promotes actionable awareness
3. TEACHINT IS SHORT FOR TEACHER INTELLIGENCE
While no one sees everything,
everything is seen by someone.
Despite today’s technological
advancements, the most trusted
information still comes from
everyday personal interactions.
What makes HumInt so reliable?
Analysts refer to this level of interpersonal insight
as human intelligence or “HumInt.”
4. This explains why after every school crisis, there are
always those who come forward expressing long-held
concerns about those who caused harm.
5. •Comments expressing suicidal thoughts
•A noticeable increase in abusive language
•An unfavorable change in behavior; mood swings
•Unsolicited comments about dangerous weapons
•Suspected alcohol or drug use
•Explicit statements about wanting to do harm
•Making statements in support of violence to resolve issues
•Anxiety about at-home concerns
•Unfavorable reaction to changes in school policy
•Unfavorable change in appearance or personal hygiene
The 18 Most Common Observations Include:
6. •Sending disturbing messages via text, email, or social media
•Repeated violations of school policy
•Emulating a “warrior” mentality or mannerism
•Consistently bullied by or picked-on by others
•Sustained reactions to a break-up or loss of friendship
•Disruptive behavior or an abrasiveness towards others
•Preoccupation with violent or sexually explicit content
•Identifying with persons who were violent to others
If these concerns are being observed,
why aren’t they being reported?
cont’d
7. Teachers often discuss their observations
with other teachers, but these concerns are
rarely raised to the administrative level.
Unfortunately, the paperwork and complexity
of the reporting process does not promote
teacher participation — it encourages their avoidance.
9. With only a few pieces available…
It’s nearly impossible to see
the bigger picture.
10. Awareness + Preparation = Safety
Our goal is to bring a greater awareness to those individuals
who are making their emotional turmoil known.
TeachInt provides administrators with improved awareness
and much needed time to prepare today for a safer tomorrow.
11. TeachInt allows users to anonymously report a concern
in a way that protects both the identifying information of the
student as well as the individual reporting the concern.
How Do We Do This?
12. Observations made by mobile device or desktop
application will feed in real-time to administrator attention.
13. As a result, school administrators will have access to real-time
and easily viewable HumInt of their school environment.
This means administrators will be empowered to more positively
anticipate the needs of their students and more effectively manage
any unfavorable concerns toward peaceful resolve.
14. Level 1 - Report The Concern
Level 2 - Review The Monthly Matrix
Level 3 - Dive Deeper into a Particular
Pattern of Concern
Level 4 - Assess an Individual Reference Code
The TeachInt software system is
simple, effective, and easy to use:
15. Level 1
Reporting The Concern:
Inside the application; four key pieces of information are required:
NAME OF STUDENT
A drop-down list of student
names. Once chosen, the system
would assign a randomly selected
number and corresponding color
to represent the concern —
Not the student’s name.
THE LOCATION OF CONCERN
A drop-down list of venue-specific
locations: classroom, cafeteria,
playground, parking lot,
auditorium, etc.
DAY AND TIME
A drop-down list to report
the day and time of the
observed behavior.
THE OBSERVED CONCERN
A drop-down list of the 18 most
commonly observed behaviors of
concern.
16.

18.
19. TeachInt then compiles a real-time analysis of this
intelligence into an easy-to-view matrix for administrators.
Administrator View of Reported Concerns
20. Level 2
Observing the monthly matrix:
The reported observations of the teachers feeds into a monthly
calendar of concern where administrators would have real-time
insight and awareness into their school’s environment.
In this example, reference code 94 is showing a pattern of concern.
<————Days of the Month ————>
21. Helping administrators to stay aware of the reported
observations, TeachInt will provide a real-time
consolidation of concerns at the bottom of the calendar.
22. Level 3
Observing the historic record of an individual code:
Clicking on any one of the individual codes would provide a historic
record of reported concerns, but would still not reveal the identifying
information of the student without authorized administrator access.
In this example, reference code 94 started to present observable
concerns in mid-September and continues to evolve through October.
<————Days of the Month ————>
23. Level 4
Assessment of an individual reference code:
Once the identifying information of an individual reference
code is requested, an overview of all reported concerns
would be generated into an assessment report.
This protective intelligence
report will help ensure the
student of concern is
given the appropriate
help they need.
24.
25. In order to protect the anonymity of those reporting
their concerns, but also to protect against any
personal bias toward the student, TeachInt will
assign a randomly generated “reported by” code
instead of the name of the individual reporter.
Additional Protection Of Anonymity
It is possible, however, for these “reported by” codes
to denote a level of participation. For example:
numbers in the 500’s may represent teachers;
numbers in the 600’s may denote administrators; and
numbers in the 700’s may denote support staff.
26. "In today's schools, there is all too often
an emphasis placed on analyzing a
specific act within the context of an
isolated incident, rather than taking the
‘totality of circumstance’ into
consideration before rendering an
assessment. This program removes the
complications of the reporting process
and facilitates awareness through an
anonymous, simple, yet effective
application. Our goal is to to help
