veratree turns every quiz, project and reflection into a living map of each student's growth, standard by standard. Students see where they are and where they're headed. Teachers see who needs what, before the unit test.

Each unit runs the same cycle. Every pass leaves a record on the student's timeline, so growth adds up over the year.
Every student sees each standard in their current unit, their level on it, and what their teacher said. A unit's color is its weakest standard, so gaps show up instead of being averaged away.

Students enter a six-character class code or scan a QR code. Teachers approve each request.
Standards are linked across grades, so you can trace a struggle back to where it started.
Students rate themselves before they see the teacher's level. The gap between the two is a conversation starter.
Students earn badges for reflecting, honest self-rating and steady progress. Most are about habits, not top scores.
When new evidence reaches a student's target level, the goal is marked achieved and the moment is saved to their timeline.
School leaders see how teachers are using it each week and where every grade stands, without reading any student's private records.
Set up a class in an afternoon. Start with one unit and expand from there.
Teachers enter evidence once. Levels, goals, reflections and timelines all update for each student it touches.
Pick the standards and I can statements a quiz covers, then fill one grid for every student. Each standard's level is worked out from the statement ratings.

When a teacher flags a piece of evidence, the student rates themselves first, then sees the teacher's level and answers a reflection question. Photos and files can be attached.
What would you do differently on the next system you solve?
I mixed up which variable to substitute. Next time I'll solve for the one with a coefficient of 1 first, then check my answer in both equations.
Utah Core Math for Grades 6–8 comes ready to use, grouped by strand. You decide how units are built and in what order. Blend strands or follow the textbook.

We'll walk through a real unit with your standards in 30 minutes.
Principals get one dashboard for usage and proficiency in every class, while student records stay between students and their teachers.
Every dashboard query works out the school from who is signed in, so one school can never read another's data.
Leaders see class and grade summaries. Individual reflections and goals stay with the student and their teacher.
Access rules are enforced in the database itself, not just in the app's screens.
Start small and grow from there. We'll help you set it up.
We're finalizing plans for teachers, schools and districts. Book a demo to hear about pilot pricing for this school year.
For one teacher trying growth tracking with their own classes.
For a whole building, with a dashboard for school leaders.
For several schools that need shared reporting and support.
No. veratree sits beside your gradebook. It tracks growth on each standard over time, which a single grade can't show.
Utah Core Math for Grades 6, 7 and 8 is ready today. New grades and subjects are added through the same import, and District plans can request their own.
Students sign up and join a class with a six-character code or QR code. The teacher approves each request.
Yes. It runs in any browser, and the same app is built for iOS and Android.
A grade is a snapshot. Learning is a path. We build tools that let students see theirs.
veratree began with one Grade 8 math unit, Systems of Equations, and a simple question: what if a student could see exactly which skills they'd grown in, and which ones were holding them back?
We built it alongside working teachers. That shaped the product. Every teacher builds units their own way, so we load the standards and leave the units to them. Struggling students need encouragement, so most badges reward habits like reflecting and honest self-rating, not top scores.
Today the platform covers Grades 6–8 math, with student, teacher and principal views. We're adding grades and subjects next.
A unit is only as strong as its weakest standard. We show gaps clearly instead of averaging them away.
Students rate themselves, set their own goals and write their own reflections. The teacher's view adds to theirs.
We supply the standards and the connections between them. Pacing and unit design stay with the teacher.
Reflection, honesty and comebacks earn recognition. That way the students who need encouragement most get it.
We're looking for pilot schools for the coming semester.
We'll set up a sample class with your grade's standards and walk through a full unit.
