How it works

It runs alongside whatever you already teach. You choose the lesson, and the tool follows your topic.

Set up once

  1. Create an account and a classroom

    Choose a grade band for the class. Each classroom covers one group of students.

  2. Add your roster of aliases

    Start with Student 1, Student 2, and so on, then rename them if you like. You can set a grade for each alias, and mark any student who needs extra reading support.

  3. Share the student link

    One click copies a link with your class code filled in. Students do not need accounts.

Each lesson

  1. Warm-up

    A student opens the link, picks their alias and the subject (math, English, science, or social studies), and can note what you are covering today. They write what they currently think and understand about the topic. That is their starting point.

  2. Guided questions

    A Socratic question builds on the student's own words and on your topic. Students answer as many rounds as you or they choose. The tool asks questions; it does not give answers.

  3. Exit ticket

    At the end of class, students write their thinking again, in their own words.

  4. Results

    You see how each student's reasoning changed. Students see encouraging feedback and a small badge that reflects how their thinking moved. They never see a score.

After class

Your dashboard shows critical thinking growth for the latest lesson and for the semester, with the option to view one subject at a time. Open any lesson to see who finished, who started but did not finish, and how many have not begun. You can read each student's before-and-after writing, and a short encouraging note with a reflection question appears after each lesson.

Before the semester resets, you can download a PDF summary of growth by alias. It contains scores only, with no student writing.

Your role

The tool supports your judgment; it does not replace it. It asks questions instead of giving answers, and it flags anything concerning to you rather than acting on it itself.
