The school that measures every click of its students

▤ Summary

Alpha School presents an AI-driven private school model that uses tablets, computers, and adaptive software for most core instruction. The school tracks detailed student activity, including clicks, time on screen, mouse movement, and eye direction, to monitor progress closely. Its model replaces traditional grade-level advancement with mastery-based progression and rewards behavior and performance with points redeemable for prizes or experiences. The article questions whether this heavy measurement approach supports real learning or turns students into data points, while noting that some educators favor more traditional methods.
