Classcraft is ESSA Tier I Compliant

According to an in-depth meta-analysis aggregating 27 studies on Classcraft, our approach has demonstrated a statistically significant effect on improving student outcomes. The findings in this meta-analysis prove that Classcraft demonstrates a large impact (effect size d > 0.6) on motivation and learning achievement.

Tier I is the most rigorous tier of evidence by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) standards and requires deeper, qualitative research to substantiate it. As stated by (ESSA): Tier I – Strong Evidence: supported by one or more well-designed and well-implemented experimental studies.

What does this mean?
By demonstrating meticulous evidence-based success through in-depth research, not only does Classcraft meet ESSA standards, but it also qualifies for ESSA federal funding.

Classcraft proven to directly impact learning and motivation

According to the meta-analysis, results have demonstrated that “Classcraft can efficiently create optimal gamification learning processes that can positively influence learning achievement and motivation.”

“...Classcraft can overall enhance gamification learning experiences (d = 0.61). According to the subgroup analysis, the effects on learning achievement (d = 0.621) are similar to those on motivation (d = 0.608). Therefore, the main conclusion of this question is that gamification platforms including Classcraft can positively influence learning achievement and motivation for optimal gamification learning experiences.”

Classcraft is paving the way for happier and more engaged students

“The experience has shown that by using the gamified Classcraft tool applying structured activities about all aspects of sustainable mobility, the pupils acquired new concepts that clarified the social and economic components and began to develop a conscience about how to become an active part in behavioral change.”

“Through experimental classes and feedback from teachers in Canada and France, researchers noted increased motivation and participation and deeper interest in classwork from students who were using Classcraft.”

Research conducted on using a concept-based approach to improving the teaching-learning process found that successful implementation of methods such as gamification improves students social skills, involvement in lessons, and performance in class.

“The research in this study found that teachers can extract the greatest potential from BYOD and younger students by using gamification to create a learning environment that is engaging, enriching, relevant, and fun.”

“In a nutshell, the online gamified learning module designed and developed on Classcraft eventually helped the teachers to uplift their competency from B2 to a minimum of C1, which was the evident final outcome of the complete research, as this study is based on the English language teachers’ achievement in enhancing their professional competencies by mastering the knowledge and skills mentioned earlier.”
