Question 1

What is Classroom Hero?

Accepted Answer

Classroom Hero is a gamified classroom management platform for elementary teachers, parents, and schools. Teachers award points for positive behavior and academic effort, run a customizable classroom store, engage students with 3D avatars and daily learning games, and use AI tools like Atlas to save prep time — all in one connected system instead of juggling clip charts, spreadsheets, and separate apps.

Question 2

Who is Classroom Hero For?

Accepted Answer

Classroom Hero works for teachers running reward systems and daily routines, parents using chore charts or motivation at home, students earning points through class codes, and school leaders who want consistent behavior and engagement tools across classrooms. Many camps, daycares, and mentors use it too.

Question 3

How is Classroom Hero different from ClassDojo?

Accepted Answer

Teachers searching for a ClassDojo alternative usually want more than basic points and messaging. Classroom Hero adds a full classroom economy (custom store, approval flows, class goals), student avatars, daily learning games tied to points, AI quiz and content tools, and deeper parent visibility controls — while still staying easy to set up.

Question 4

How do I set up Classroom Hero for my class?

Accepted Answer

Setup takes most teachers about 10–15 minutes: create a class, pick a template and currency name, add students (manually, paste a list, or import from Google Classroom), configure Actions and store items, then share student login codes. From there you can award points, run games, and open the store from the same dashboard. Classroom management setup guide →

Question 5

What are Actions in Classroom Hero?

Accepted Answer

Actions are the behaviors and routines you reward or redirect in your class. Create custom positive actions (helping clean up, expert listening, homework turned in) and negative actions for reminders — or start from presets. Each action has a point value you control, so your classroom reward system matches your actual routines instead of a one-size-fits-all chart.

Question 6

What is the Classroom Hero marketplace (class store)?

Accepted Answer

The classroom marketplace is your per-class store where students spend earned coins on rewards you define — privileges like extra recess, lunch with the teacher, homework passes, or small prizes. You set each item’s price and choose instant purchase or request to buy so you approve before coins are deducted. Learn more about the classroom store →

Question 7

Can I use Classroom Hero without buying physical prizes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many teachers run a free classroom reward system using zero-cost privileges: line leader, classroom jobs, choice seating, brain breaks, or Friday celebrations. The marketplace works just as well with intangible rewards as with tangible ones — and you avoid the paper waste of sticker charts.

Question 8

How do student avatars work?

Accepted Answer

Each student gets a 3D avatar they customize with accessories earned through your classroom economy. Students spend class coins on avatar items while teachers can unlock bundled Hero Sets from the Hero Store. Avatars add long-term motivation on top of your store rewards and work out of the box — no complex setup required.

Question 9

What are Daily Learning Games?

Accepted Answer

Short academic mini-games students play for class currency. The library includes Math, Word, Translation, Odd One Out, Next in the Sequence, Alphabet Math, Bigger or Smaller, Atlas Color Pattern, Typing, Story Check, Geography, Make Change, Tell Time, and Fruit Fractions. Teachers choose which games are on and how they are configured.

Question 10

What is Class Screen?

Accepted Answer

Class Screen is Classroom Hero’s projector-ready display for your class. Open the Screen tab to show student avatars, live points, a daily message, timer, randomizer, polls, and more on one shared board.

Question 11

Does Classroom Hero include AI tools for teachers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Atlas AI is your teaching assistant inside Classroom Hero — ask for classroom management strategies, reward-system ideas, and instructional support. You also get structured AI tools to generate quizzes, choice boards, writing helpers, and more, with outputs you can edit before using with students. Teacher AI tools →

Question 12

How do students log in to Classroom Hero?

Accepted Answer

Students sign in with a class code plus a 4-digit student code — no email required for young learners. Teachers generate and reset codes from student profiles and share login details from class settings. Works on web, tablet, and the Classroom Hero mobile apps.

Question 13

Can parents use Classroom Hero at home?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Parent Home gives families one place for children, progress, home tasks, and optional teacher chat—while you control visibility and messaging per class. Parents stay read-only for teacher-owned class data. Parent integration →

Question 14

Is Classroom Hero free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes — you can start free. The free tier includes core classroom management: classes, points, actions, store, avatars, and capped AI access. Heroic unlocks unlimited classes, higher AI limits, report exports, and more assistant seats. School and district plans bundle seats, leader tools, and enterprise options for buildings that want school-wide rollout.

Question 15

Does Classroom Hero work for schools and districts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. School leaders use Classroom Hero for consistent positive behavior systems, shared visibility, assistant seats, and enterprise controls across teachers. If your building already has a plan, your admin adds you to the school roster so premium features activate automatically. Classroom Hero for schools →

Question 16

What student data does Classroom Hero collect?

Accepted Answer

Classroom Hero collects only what’s needed to run your class: roster info teachers enter (such as student first names), point and activity records, and optional parent contact details when linked. We do not sell student data. Student accounts use login codes rather than requiring student email addresses. Full details are in our Privacy Policy, Child Privacy, and Data Privacy & Security pages.

Question 17

Is Classroom Hero safe for elementary students?

Accepted Answer

Classroom Hero is designed for elementary classrooms and families, with teacher-controlled visibility, age-appropriate student login, and privacy policies written for educational use. Teachers decide what parents see, which games are enabled, and how store purchases are approved — so the system fits your classroom culture and privacy needs.

Question 18

Can I import students from Google Classroom?

Accepted Answer

Yes. During setup or from class settings you can import rosters from Google Classroom instead of typing names one by one — then share login codes so students can start earning points the same day.

Question 19

Is Classroom Hero the same as SchoolMint Hero?

Accepted Answer

No. Classroom Hero is a teacher-level classroom reward system and digital classroom economy (points, class store, avatars, daily games, and Atlas AI). SchoolMint Hero is a separate, schoolwide product for things like tardies, hall passes, and discipline. We are not SchoolMint, Hero K12, or a teacher-of-the-year award.
