LevelUp for Schools & Counselors

For teachers, counselors, districts, and families

A modern engagement and accountability system for students — built to support MTSS, 504s, IEPs, and real academic growth.

Overview

LevelUp for Schools & Counselors

LevelUp turns student study time into measurable effort. Instead of “they say they're trying,” you see real minutes focused, streaks, and progress toward goals — without adding grading workload for teachers.

Problems we help address

  • Missing assignments and inconsistent homework habits
  • Students “trying” with no clear proof of effort
  • Low engagement and lack of ownership over schoolwork
  • Counselors and case managers needing evidence for MTSS, 504, and IEP meetings

How schools use LevelUp

  • Track focus minutes and streaks as a lightweight “effort layer” on top of any curriculum
  • Support MTSS, 504s, IEPs, and credit recovery with clear logs of time-on-task
  • Run small pilots with one class, one grade level, or targeted intervention groups
  • No extra grading workload — LevelUp focuses on effort, not scoring work

Data & Privacy

COPPA- and FERPA-aware, student-first design

Minimal data footprint

  • Email and securely hashed password
  • In-app activity: focus sessions, XP, streaks, missions
  • Optional academic info: GPA entries, course names, transcripts
  • No keystrokes, no browsing history, no device surveillance

FERPA & COPPA stance

  • Students own their academic data inside LevelUp
  • Export and deletion supported for school and family requests
  • Under-13 use requires school/parent consent under COPPA where applicable
  • Designed to support FERPA-friendly use — not as a SIS replacement but as a study/effort layer

Teacher Hub

Tools for classrooms

Teachers can create classes, share join codes, and plug LevelUp into existing workflows in minutes. LevelUp tracks focus minutes and streaks; you keep your curriculum and grading.

  • Class creation and join codes
  • Assignment bundles and question sets tied to rewards
  • Focus minutes and session counts per class
  • Exportable summaries for conferences and grade meetings

Key teacher tools

  • Class XP Map — which classes are putting in the most time
  • Assignment Overview — which tasks are getting done
  • Bundle Lab — reusable question bundles and practice sets
  • Raid Reports — boss/raid participation by student
  • Focus Minutes Dashboard — week-over-week effort trends

Counselors & Support Teams

Effort data for MTSS, 504, and IEP teams

LevelUp gives counselors and support staff a simple view of “trying vs. not trying.” Instead of guessing, you see streaks, focus minutes, and weekly effort alongside GPA trends.

  • Weekly effort summaries and streak health
  • Focus minutes per week and per subject
  • GPA trends and course-level movement
  • Assignment attempts and practice reps (where available)

Use cases

  • MTSS tier documentation and intervention planning
  • 504/IEP meetings: evidence of effort and routines
  • Executive function coaching: show students their own week and build better rhythms
  • Credit recovery and alternative programs: track whether students are putting in the hours

Proof of Grind

Turn invisible effort into a shareable story

Proof of Grind takes focus minutes, streaks, mastery, and GPA arcs and turns them into a one-page story of a student's effort.

What the report can include

  • Total focus minutes and sessions
  • Streak length and consistency patterns
  • Subject mastery snapshots and practice reps
  • GPA arc over time (where data is provided)
  • Achievements, missions, and key wins

Where it's used

  • Parent-teacher conferences and counselor meetings
  • 504/IEP documentation and goal reviews
  • Scholarship, readiness, and talent programs
  • Letters of recommendation and student self-advocacy

Districts & School Leaders

District-ready, pilot-friendly

LevelUp can start with a single school or program, then scale. We work alongside your existing SIS/LMS rather than replacing them.

  • School-wide rosters and teacher access controls
  • District-level analytics on focus minutes and streaks
  • Per-school comparisons and cohort-level trends
  • Support for teacher onboarding and launch playbooks

Pilot approach

  • No SIS integration required to pilot
  • Start with 1–2 schools, programs, or intervention teams
  • Measure engagement, missed work, and student feedback
  • Option to layer in deeper data connections later

Parents & Guardians

A simple way to see effort at home

LevelUp is a study companion — not a spying tool. It tracks focus sessions and routines, not browsing history or personal messages.

  • Students start a focus timer when they sit down to work and earn XP for minutes spent on-task
  • Parents and educators can use Proof of Grind to see patterns over weeks, not just a single grade
  • No keystroke logging, no camera/microphone monitoring, no social feed scraping

How parents can support

  • Encourage using LevelUp during homework blocks
  • Ask students to share their streaks and focus minutes
  • Bring Proof of Grind reports to conferences or support meetings to show effort
