BrighterBalance Earns ClassLink Certified Partner Status for One-Click Rostering
Duluth, GA — July 27, 2026 — BrighterBalance, the behavior documentation platform built for special education, MTSS, and PBIS teams, is now a ClassLink Certified Partner. Districts that use ClassLink can connect BrighterBalance in minutes, with single sign-on and automatic rostering already live and tested.
BrighterBalance helps teams capture behavior in the moment and turn it into clean, tiered data they can trust. But the best classroom tool still fails if districts cannot adopt it easily and teachers cannot use it without friction. Fitting into the systems schools already run was part of the design from the start, not a later add-on, and ClassLink certification is that thinking paying off.
For teachers, it means no new password. They open BrighterBalance from their ClassLink dashboard with Sign in with ClassLink and get straight to documenting behavior. For district IT teams, class and student lists sync automatically through ClassLink's Roster Server on the OneRoster standard, so rosters stay accurate without manual uploads.
"From the beginning, we designed BrighterBalance to fit the way districts already work. A behavior tool can be excellent and still go unused if it is hard to roster or it is one more password for a teacher to chase. Rostering and single sign-on were part of the plan, not an afterthought. A teacher opens BrighterBalance in one click, and the right students are already there."
— Jerry Henley, Co-Founder and CTO, BrighterBalance
"We're glad to welcome BrighterBalance to the ClassLink Certified Partner program. Our shared district customers want secure, simple access to the tools that support their students. BrighterBalance's focus on special education and MTSS makes it a strong fit for the ClassLink ecosystem."
— J. Patrick Devanney, Senior Vice President, Strategy and Partnerships, ClassLink
District leaders can find BrighterBalance in the ClassLink App Library and turn on the integration from there.
