Ditch the complicated spreadsheets and cumbersome ledgers. Merit is a purpose-built PBIS web application designed to eliminate administrative roadblocks — so your team can focus on what matters most: genuine student recognition and positive reinforcement.
Merit gives every adult in a school a simple, consistent way to recognize students for positive behavior in real time. Points accumulate in each student's balance and can be redeemed in a school or classroom store for rewards your team designs. Administrators see the full picture: who's being recognized, how often, by whom, and for what — without ever opening a spreadsheet.
The result is a school where recognition is systematic rather than sporadic — where every student has a real chance to be seen and celebrated, not just the ones who are easy to notice.
Seamlessly celebrate positive choices. Administrators configure school-wide behavioral expectations — like "Academic Excellence," "Leadership," or "Showing Kindness." Teachers quickly award points to individual students or use bulk-awarding for entire class sections, attaching custom notes to make every recognition specific and meaningful.
Ensure no student slips through the cracks. Merit's automated inactivity alerts notify staff if a student hasn't received positive reinforcement within a set timeframe — for example, 7 days. This vital equity tool nudges educators to intentionally engage and uplift every single student on their roster.
Foster a positive climate at every level of your building. Merit supports robust school-wide stores alongside highly customizable, teacher-managed classroom stores. Staff manage stock limits and approve student redemption requests for items ranging from homework passes and tech time to school swag and event passes — you are in complete control.
Keep a pulse on your building's climate without constantly digging through data. Merit features vibrant leaderboards ranking students, grades, and homerooms, and allows administrators to schedule automated PBIS reports delivered directly to staff inboxes on a daily, weekly, or monthly cadence.
Mirror your real-world master schedule with ease. Organize students into designated academic sections, homerooms, and teams, or quickly spin up custom groups for specialized behavioral interventions and school clubs.
Reduce the burden on your tech team with intuitive, role-based tools. Through clear permissions — District Admin, School Admin, Teacher, and Staff — educators independently manage their points, run reports, manage custom stores, and securely access student award histories.
Merit serves every role in a school — administrators who need accountability and data, teachers who need speed and simplicity, and students who need to feel seen and motivated.
Merit is built and maintained by Eduverse, Ltd, a software company focused exclusively on K–12 education. We aren't a large platform trying to serve every vertical — we exist to solve real problems in schools. Every feature in Merit came from conversations with educators, and every decision we make is filtered through one question: does this make life better for students and the people who serve them?
