Steady Learners

For schools and districts

Every student, a little better every day.

A daily practice partner for the K–5 foundations, working alongside the teacher. In a class of 25, one adult can’t sit with every child; Steady Learners gives each student the one-to-one practice in math, reading, phonics, spelling and writing that the teacher chooses — and carries the same lessons home to the family.

The first term is free for pilot schools. $25 per student per year after, by invoice. Pricing

Another pair of hands for the foundations

Teachers know exactly which children need ten more minutes on counting on, or on short vowels. There is never time to sit with each one. That is the part we take.

The teacher directs

Which lessons, for the class or for one student, and how many minutes. Steady Learners never decides what a child should learn — it practises what the teacher chose, and reports back.

Each student gets one-to-one

Every question read aloud, a wrong answer shown step by step, the next question a little harder only once this one is right. The patient repetition a class of 25 can’t give, while the teacher is with a group.

The same lessons at home

Children do best when school and home pull the same way. The parent sees the teacher’s lessons in their own app, and practice at home counts toward the same progress the teacher sees. Nothing to re-explain, nothing to print.

How it works in a school

Set up in an afternoon. Nothing for a student to type, sign in to, or remember.

1

Teachers make the class

A class of up to 40, students by first name and a picture. The class starts the year on the lessons its grade suggests; the teacher changes them once for everyone.

2

Students tap and start

On the class Chromebooks — a kiosk app students pick from the sign-in screen, no student accounts — or a shared iPad, or at home through a parent’s account. Every question is read aloud; a wrong answer gets a walkthrough — while the teacher works with a group.

3

Everyone sees their part

Teachers see each student, lesson by lesson, and a weekly report. Parents see their child. Admins see the school as a whole.

Who sees what

Student data is read only by the people responsible for the student. The rules are enforced in the database, not just the screen.

Teacher

Every student in their classes: routine, lessons mastered, each session’s answers, the weekly report. Sets the lessons, invites parents, sends notes.

Never: other classes.

Parent

Their own child, in their own app: the teacher’s lessons, the reports, the teacher’s notes — plus rewards, daily tasks and games at home, all included.

Never: other students or the class.

School admin

The school as a whole: students practising, lessons mastered, practice days, parents linked — beside the figure for all learners. Classes, teachers, invitations.

Never: a class’s or a student’s numbers. Figures show only for 10 or more students.

District admin

The district and each school, as wholes. Adds schools, invites their admins.

Never: a class, a teacher or a student.

School and home, one routine

A code from the teacher links a parent. The child’s lessons at home are the ones the teacher set, and what they do there counts the same as in class — one record, seen by both.

Parents linked in

Everything the family app offers is on for that child through the school — reports, rewards they choose at home, daily tasks, games after lessons.

Notes both ways

A teacher’s note can ask for practice at home; the parent’s app offers “Start today’s lessons”. Parents reply in the app.

Mastery, not minutes

A lesson is mastered only when a student gets it right, quickly, on several different days. The routine moves on by itself; the teacher sees where each student is.

What students learn

Aligned with Common Core math, K–5. Reading, phonics and grammar are built around Common Core skills. The math standards list

Math

Every K–5 standard its own lesson, taught on the picture.

Reading

Read-along books that listen — on the device — then stories with questions and chapter books.

Phonics & spelling

Letter sounds, word families, then 3,000 words.

Writing

From tracing letters to five-paragraph pieces.

Privacy, by design

Built for the questions a district asks before it signs.

The minimum data

A first name, grade, class, a cartoon picture and learning data. No student emails, addresses, birth dates or photos. No ads, no trackers. Read-along audio never leaves the device.

The district owns it

We’re a school official under FERPA and act on the school’s consent under COPPA. We sign the SDPC National Data Privacy Agreement with your state’s exhibit.

Export and erase

Your data on request within 10 business days. At the end of a contract, erased within 90 days, confirmed in writing; a child who came from a family goes back to them.

Documents

Everything your admins, teachers and privacy office will ask for, written down.

Setup Guide and FAQ

Questions schools ask

Does it replace any teaching?

No. The teacher decides what each class and each student works on; Steady Learners gives every student the one-to-one practice on it that a class of 25 can’t, and shows the teacher where each child is. It takes the repetition, not the teaching. Nothing about it needs a teacher to change how they teach.

Do students need accounts or passwords?

No. Students tap their picture on a class device the teacher signed in, or use their parent’s account at home. There is nothing for a child to type or remember.

Does it work on Chromebooks?

Yes — it’s built for them. On school-managed Chromebooks the IT admin adds app.steadylearners.com/class as a kiosk app once; students pick it from the sign-in screen with no Google account, full screen, nothing to install or update. Every lesson, book and read-along runs there, listening included. Also iPhone and iPad.

How long does setup take?

An afternoon for a school: classes, teacher invitations, and a minute per class to add students by name. A single teacher can be running in fifteen minutes.

Can we import a roster or use Clever / ClassLink?

Not yet. Students are added by name in the class. CSV import and Clever/ClassLink rostering are planned for the 2027–28 year.

What if a parent already uses Steady Learners for the child?

When they enter the code they’re asked whether it’s the same child. Yes carries the family’s progress into the school record; the child is handed back to them when the school is done.

What does the child see about plans or payment?

Nothing, ever. Children see their picture, their lessons and their results. Everything about plans is on grown-up pages behind a PIN.

Which languages?

Lessons are in English — children are learning it. The Teacher Portal, Parent Portal and emails are in 22 languages besides English.

Will it raise our test scores?

We don’t know yet, and we won’t say so until a pilot has shown it. What Steady Learners does from the first day is the practice research links to achievement: about ten minutes a day per subject, mastery before moving on, spaced recall, and reading aloud with correction. State tests start in grade 3; for K–2 the screeners you already use are the measure. Pilots are set up to measure both — see the Setup Guide.

Where is the data hosted?

In the United States (AWS us-east, through Supabase), encrypted in transit and at rest, with row-level access control in the database. Details in the privacy and security overview.

Pilots for spring 2027

A small number of elementary schools: one or more classes, free for the term, with our help setting up. Tell us your school, the grades and roughly how many students.

Every pilot measures results: at the start and end of the term the school shares aggregate figures from the screener or benchmark it already uses (DIBELS, Acadience, MAP Growth, i-Ready, STAR…) for the pilot classes and, where it can, a comparison class — never a student’s score — and we write up the result together.
