Common questions

What is a student goal tracker?

A place for students to write their goals, break them into weekly steps and see their progress. Lifetick adds a Friday reflection and a mentor who can reply.

Can teachers read student journals?

No. The journal is always private. Students choose which goals their mentor can see.

Does it work on phones and laptops?

Yes. Students use the iPhone app or any web browser with the same account.

Can we try it with one class first?

Yes. Most schools start with one mentor group for a term, then decide with real results in hand.
