Great post from our friends at EveryDay Labs ! 📈 School attendance is directly correlated to achievement. 💪🏼 To reduce chronic absenteeism, we have to move beyond focusing almost entirely on students with extreme absences (which make up less than 20% of absences). 🪃 Rang works best as a tier 1 intervention to provide a small lift to light to moderate absenteeism students so the school can focus on the severe cases that require high touch support. https://lnkd.in/gcADSnNW

A rewards platform for schools
About us
Founded in 2023 by a collaborative team of students and teachers, Rang is a rewards platform for high schools. Our mission is to improve student outcomes. We do so by developing partnerships with brands to supply incentives in the form of gift cards, coupons, tickets to live events, and more for teachers to use as classroom rewards. In doing so, teachers can reach a highly engaged student population and are freed up to do what they are uniquely qualified to do: teach!

Thanks for the shoutout Transcend Network ! 🙌🪃🚀
Meet Brian Malkin, a former teacher, school leader, co-founder of Rang, and Transcend Fellow (TF12)! Brian began his career as a teacher at Distinctive Schools in Greater Chicago, where he later served as Network Chief of Staff. A Teach For America alumnus, Brian received his MBA from Northwestern University, where he founded School Labs, an independent study program at Kellogg to match MBA students with local school principals for business and operational support in exchange for course credits. He later went on to become a Principal at GCM Grosvenor before starting his entrepreneurial journey in education full-time. During his time as a classroom teacher, Brian realized that rewards play a critical role in incentivizing positive behaviors among students. However, for already overworked teachers, handling rewards in the classroom can be a challenge as it usually requires them to pay out of their own pockets and takes time away that could be better spent teaching. This led to the foundation for Rang! At Rang, Brian is building a rewards platform for schools and is on mission to improve student outcomes and teacher retention in the classroom. Rang focuses on developing partnerships with brands to supply incentives in the form of gift cards, coupons, tickets to live events, and more for teachers to use as classroom rewards! In return, brands receive real time, measurable impact and insights reporting. Teachers can reach a highly engaged student population and are freed up to do what they are uniquely qualified to do: teach! At the heart of Brian's mission is the belief in creating a platform where teachers can effectively address challenges like learning loss, chronic absenteeism, and student engagement. The platform is currently live among schools in Chicago and has several major sports teams and fast-casual restaurants onboarded already! We are super proud to have Brian as a Transcend Fellow and thrilled about the future of Rang! Learn more about Brian's company here: ➡ Rang

Rang reposted this
🤯 Teachers are spending $500+ on classroom supplies and rewards 💳When asked what would most benefit their back-to-school season, respondents’ top responses were “money/gift cards/supplies” and “time to plan/in classroom time.” 🙌🏼 Consumer brands can help by contributing rewards to Rang and removing this economic and cognitive load of behavior management from the teachers plate to allow them to focus on what they do best… teach! 🪃Reach out at Rang (www.rang.com)
As back-to-school looms, get a look at how many educators often spend unpaid time and personal funds to prepare for the year ahead. #K12 #Teachers #BacktoSchool #EWTopReadsoftheWeek
