Pilot program

Your first year is free. Decide on the data.

A structured, outcome-tracked evaluation, and your school's whole first year is free. The standard rate ($20 per student per year) applies only if you continue after year one.

How the pilot works

A free first year, one to three teachers, an easy way out.

Your first year is free, for every school. The structured evaluation runs 16 to 18 weeks with 1–3 teachers and 50–200 students, and the license stays free through the end of your first year whether or not you expand beyond the pilot classrooms. If you continue, the standard $20 per student per year applies from year two.

Setup is a roster import (OneRoster CSV or Google/Apple sign-in; Clever activated on request) plus a 60-minute onboarding webinar, with day-one go-live. Support is email with a two-business-day response and on-request check-in calls. If it isn't working, cancel with 14 days notice — no renewal obligation.

What success looks like

Three written reports. Three angles on whether it's working.

At weeks 4, 8, and semester end we deliver a written report to your pilot coordinator covering learning outcomes, teacher adoption, and student engagement — the evidence a renewal decision actually needs.

Learning
  • Placement delta (assessment 1 → assessment 2)
  • Skills mastered per student
  • Standards mastered per class
  • Per-skill reading proficiency change
  • Results broken out by grade band and starting level
Teacher
  • Assignments created and completed
  • Questions flagged by per-question analysis
  • Practice-vs-test alerts (students strong in practice but weak on tests)
  • Survey: "would you keep using this?" (1-5)
Engagement
  • Voluntary practice outside assigned minutes
  • Return-visit cadence across weeks and breaks
  • Time-on-task per student
  • Practice streak length
What we need from you

A coordinator, a roster, and an hour of PD.

Name a pilot coordinator — an admin or lead teacher who owns the rollout. Give us a roster (an SIS export or Google/Apple sign-in; Clever activated on request), and 30 minutes for a launch PD session with your teachers.

Optional but recommended: a 15-minute weekly check-in call, and permission to survey participating teachers once a month. That's the whole ask.

When things happen

From contract signed to renewal decision in 18 weeks.

Here's the week-by-week shape of a typical pilot — signed in week 0, first report in week 4, final report and data export by the end of week 18.

Week 0
Contract signed, DPA reviewed, roster synced
Week 1
Launch PD (60 min), students take the Grow
Week 2–3
Teachers assign first standards, students build practice habit
Week 4
First interim report delivered
Week 8
Mid-pilot report + teacher survey
Week 12–14
Second assessment window
Week 16–18
Final report, renewal decision, data export
