Problem
Teachers often spend significant time and personal funds on student rewards and incentives, diverting resources from core instruction and creating administrative overhead. Existing incentive systems can be difficult to manage, track, and ensure equitable distribution of rewards.
Solution
Rang is a rewards platform that partners with brands to provide incentives to K-12 students for improved academics and behavior. The platform integrates with online grade books to automate reward distribution, reducing the administrative burden on teachers. Rang sources reward sponsorships, allowing students and families to earn "Rangs" for improvements, which can then be redeemed for gift cards and other rewards from participating brands. This system aims to boost student engagement, improve academic outcomes, and foster a positive school culture by providing objective, equitable, and trackable incentives.
Target Audience
Rang primarily targets K-12 schools and districts seeking to improve student engagement, academic achievement, attendance, and teacher retention, as well as brands looking to invest in education and connect with the next generation of consumers.
