LevelUp for Schools & Counselors
For teachers, counselors, districts, and familiesA 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
