See who is behind, without giving a test

A free classroom view for K-12 teachers. Ten minutes to set up, and you keep it for as long as you teach.

You already know roughly who is struggling. What takes the time is knowing in what, for thirty students at once, and then finding something different for each group to do about it. That is the part Ryzo does.

What you get

A roster that says why, not just who. Each student's row names their two weakest strands in math, reading and writing, measured against their own grade, from work they have already done.
One tap to target a group. Tap "Math (7)" and the seven students behind in math are selected with the assignment already pointed at it.
A weekly plan you set once. Pick up to three subjects or six exact topics, set how many a week, add a note. It appears at the top of each student's own screen.
Proof, not attendance. When a student passes a timed check in a subject you assigned, you see the level before and after. Not how many lessons they clicked through.

How it works

Apply, and a person reads itName, school, class. We check every application by hand, because this is a view of other people's children and a checkbox is not good enough.
You get a class codeSix characters. Read it out, put it on the board, send it home in the folder.
Students type it inThat raises a hand. Nothing about that student is visible to you yet.
Each family approvesThe grown-up on that account approves the link from their own screen. Only then does that student appear on your roster.

Why a code is not access. A six-character code gets read aloud to thirty children and written on a whiteboard, so it is guessable and shareable by design. Treating it as permission would mean anyone who overheard it could see a child's progress. So the code raises a hand and grants nothing. The approval that protects the child is made by the person who knows the child.

What you can and cannot see

You can see

Levels, lessons finished, streak, weakest strands against grade, and whether an assigned subject has been proven on a timed check.

You cannot see

Anything a student has written. Not their essays, not their Studio work, not their chat with the coach, not their voice recordings. That is the same rule a parent's linked view follows, and it is enforced on the server rather than hidden in the interface.

What it costs

Nothing, for teachers, always. Not a trial, not a seat count, not a quote. Families use Ryzo free too; there is a small optional plan for parents who want the coaching and reporting layer at home. Your classroom view does not depend on any of them buying it.

What Ryzo does not do

It will not write a student's work for them, and it is not built to. The coach reads what they actually wrote, quotes their own sentences back, and asks the question that makes them fix it themselves. If you are looking for something that produces finished essays, this is the wrong tool on purpose.

It is also not an assessment product. Ryzo publishes its own grade bar, in plain skills you can read and check against your own classroom, and it under-states rather than flatters: a subject only reads at grade once it is proven on a timed check with no help. It is a signal to start a conversation with, not a score to report.

Questions teachers ask first

How long does setup actually take?: Ten minutes for you. Students take about a minute each, and the approvals arrive over the following days as families get to them.
Do students need an email address?: Younger learners join with a nickname and a grown-up's email. We never ask a child for a real full name.
What if a family says no?: Then that student never appears on your roster and nothing about them is shared. They can still use Ryzo. They can also ask again later; a decline is not permanent.
Can I use it with one small group instead of the whole class?: Yes. The code is per class, and only students who type it in and are approved appear. Most teachers start with one group.
Does it work on Chromebooks and school iPads?: Yes. It runs in the browser with nothing to install, and it can be installed to the home screen on any device if you want it to open like an app.
What happens to the data if I stop?: Your access is revoked and the class code stops working the same minute. Each family keeps their own account and their child's work, which was always theirs.
