A minute in a Chou Chou classroom

Read what's in the video
  1. Helping students thrive through positivity.
  2. "Every child deserves a champion, an adult who will never give up on them." Rita Pierson, educator, TED Talks Education (2013). That's why points in Chou Chou only ever go up.
  3. Every student gets a creature. A first name and an avatar is the whole record. Kids never log in.
  4. Tap a student and pick what they did well. Kindness and hard work count, and so does anything you add.
  5. Table groups: seat kids at tables, name each table, and award the whole group in one tap.
  6. Teaching with someone? Share the class by email with a co-teacher, para, or student teacher. They sign in as themselves, and the points they give land on your screen in seconds.
  7. A toolbox for the whole day: timer, noise meter, name picker, group maker, and four more.
  8. See where your points go: points by day and by behavior, plus the kids you haven't recognized lately. Print a report for a student, or email it to their family.
  9. Works on a phone, a tablet, or the smartboard. Open it in any browser, or get the iPhone and iPad app.
  10. Try every feature free for 14 days. No credit card. After that it's $2.99/month or $29.99/year.

Our mission

Kids rise when we catch them being great.

Chou Chou Teach is built on one idea: positive reinforcement works. Noticing the good, effort, kindness, focus, builds confidence, motivation, and trust far better than punishment ever could. So points only ever go up. There's no public shaming, no red marks, no taking points away in front of the class.

Build confidence

Celebrating effort helps every student believe they can grow.

Strengthen relationships

Looking for the good changes the whole feel of a classroom.

Protect self-esteem

No call-outs or negative scores, mistakes aren't punishments.

Simple by design

A student is just a first name and an avatar. Easy to set up, easy to love, and FERPA compliant.

No parent sign-ups

Parents don't need accounts. It's just you and your class.

First names + avatars

Pick a name (or nickname) and a creature. That's the whole roster.

One teacher login

You sign in with Google. Students never need an account.

Every student gets a creature

Dozens of hand-crafted woodland friends to choose from. Kids pick their favorite, earn points, and cheer for their little creature, no photos required.

See where your points goNew

Every star you give is kept. Stats turns them into points by day, what earned them, and who has gone quiet, so Friday afternoon has a short list instead of a hunch.

  • A chart for every day, with any day opening into its awards.
  • Students you haven't recognized lately, sized for one glance.
  • A one-page report for any student, built only from their own points.
  • Print it or email it to a family. Replies come back to you.

Share a class with your co-teacher

Type in the email of a co-teacher, a para, a student teacher, or the grade-level partner who takes your kids for math. When they sign in with that address, on Google or with an email and password, the class is already on their dashboard with the roster and points you built.

  • Give a point from the tablet at the back table, and the confetti goes off on the classroom screen.
  • Co-teachers can add students and edit behaviors. The Toolbox is theirs too.
  • Only you can rename or delete the class, or change who it's shared with.
  • Up to 5 co-teachers per class. Everyone signs in as themselves, so nobody passes a password around.

Each teacher gets their own 14-day free trial with no card, and after that they need their own plan, since yours covers only you.

Frequently asked questions

Everything teachers ask before they start a class.

Is Chou Chou Teach free?
Every teacher gets a 14-day free trial with every feature unlocked and no credit card. After that it's $2.99/month or $29.99/year per teacher.
Is Chou Chou Teach FERPA compliant?
Yes. Chou Chou Teach is privacy-first and FERPA compliant by design. Students are just a first name (or nickname) and an avatar. No student logins, no last names, no photos, and no parent sign-ups.
Do students need accounts or logins?
No. Only the teacher signs in (with Google or email). Students never create accounts, and parents don't need one either.
How is Chou Chou Teach different from ClassDojo?
Chou Chou Teach is positive-only, so points never go down, and there's no public shaming or negative scores. It collects almost no student data (no last names or photos), and it's a flat $2.99/month for teachers with no ads and no upsells.
Can I see a student's progress or share it with a family?
Yes. Stats, under More on any class, shows points by day, by behavior, and by student, plus a list of students you haven't recognized lately. Any student's report can be printed or emailed to a family, and it only ever contains that one student's points.
Can I share a class with a co-teacher or para?
Yes. Open the class, choose Share class, and invite them by email. When they sign in with that address, using Google or an email and password, the class is on their dashboard with your roster and points. Co-teachers can award points, add students, edit behaviors, and use the Toolbox, but only you can rename or delete the class or change who it's shared with. A class can have up to 5 co-teachers. Each teacher needs their own plan. Theirs starts with a 14-day free trial and then costs $2.99/month or $29.99/year, the same as yours.
What grade levels is it for?
It's built for K-12 classrooms and works especially well in elementary and middle school, where points, avatars, and positive reinforcement land best.
Does it work on phones, tablets, and the smartboard?
Yes. Chou Chou Teach runs in any modern browser and as an installable app on iOS and Android, so it works on your phone, tablet, laptop, and classroom smartboard.
