For BOCES and RIC reviewers: evaluate Goal100 yourself
One page for the people who decide what goes into a BOCES service catalog: instructional technology, CoSer managers, data privacy officers, purchasing and curriculum. Everything here is self-serve. Nothing on this page asks for your name or email.
A 60-minute review path
Check each step as you go. Your checkmarks stay only in this browser.
What Goal100 is
Goal100 Learning is a New York Pre-K to 12 learning website. Each course is a self-contained web book: short lessons, a Listen button, 3D models students can turn and change, small games that practice the lesson's own skill, mastery checks and practice tests. The goal for every student is 100%, with kind "Not yet" feedback.
🛡️ Two tracks
Required courses match graded school subjects. Extras (study skills, AI Smarts, money skills, chess, music reading…) help students and are never graded.
🗽 New York standards
Built on NYS Next Generation Mathematics and ELA, NYSSLS science, the NYS K-12 Social Studies Framework, NYS Arts, Health, PE, LOTE and Computer Science and Digital Fluency standards.
💻 Runs in a browser
No install and no plug-ins. Pages load only from our own site: no ads, no trackers, no outside scripts. Built for Chromebooks and phones.
🔒 No student data today
Progress stays on the device. A student shares progress with a "Send to my teacher" code. There are no student accounts yet.
Curriculum coverage map (Pre-K to 12)
Each grade band opens its library. Every course shows its standards inside, lesson by lesson.

Most schools do not publish their pacing calendars, so lessons are in the order of the standards. Teachers choose the order they need.
Three sample lessons to try
All three are inside the Free Preview. Each opens in a new tab. Try them with the sound on (🔈 Listen) and with a keyboard only.
⚗️ High school Chemistry, lesson 1: Models of the atom
- Look for: Watch in 3D (a captioned 3D video), Explore (turn and change the model) and Build it (a game checked by code).
- Standards: NYSSLS high school physical science (atomic structure).
- Track: Required · Regents practice exam inside.
⚖️ Math · Grade 6 · Class lessons, lesson 1: What is a ratio?
- Look for: a full 45-minute class plan (Do Now, mini-lesson, we do, you do, game, exit ticket), teacher pacing, ENL and IEP supports, answer keys.
- Standards: NYS Next Generation Mathematics, grade 6 ratios and rates.
- Track: Required · NYS test in spring.
🎼 Read Music from Zero, lesson 1: The keyboard
- Look for: a beginner path with sound, a keyboard students can play, and a Win-the-badge check. Good for music teachers and for students new to reading music.
- Standards: NYS Learning Standards for the Arts (music).
- Track: Extra · Helps you succeed · Not graded.

Features that save teacher time
We designed these to cut preparation time. We have not measured time saved in schools yet. The pilot plan on this page asks teachers to log minutes, so your region gets real numbers.
| Feature | What a teacher gets | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Substitute plan packs | One printable page per lesson, ready for a substitute. | Live |
| Co-teaching guide | Six models with room diagrams, NY rules, planning templates, examples. | Live |
| Practice tests | NYS-style practice for grades 3-8 Math and ELA, grade 5 and 8 science, and Regents-format practice exams in high school courses. | Free Preview shows lessons 1-3; full tests open with a plan |
| Teacher side of every lesson | Objectives, standards, answer keys, supports for English learners and students with IEPs. | Lessons 1-3 live; all lessons with a plan |
| Printables | Substitute plans, checklists and school guides print cleanly; the full-period books have a print button. | Live |
| Progress codes | Students send a "Send to my teacher" code; the teacher reads mastery without any student account. | Live |
| Smart Board Academy | Interactive-board teaching tips. | Live |
| Class dashboard | One screen with every student's mastery. | Planned with accounts; not available |
Privacy and security (Ed Law 2-d)
Today
No student accounts and no student personally identifiable information (PII) reach us. NYSED's FAQ for Data Protection Officers says that if a district determines no PII will be provided to a company, "the requirements of Education Law §2-d generally will not apply." Your district or RIC makes that call, not us.
When accounts open
Only for a school or district that has signed a data privacy agreement. We plan to use the standard New York paper: the NYSED model DPA or the National DPA available through NYSED's statewide Access 4 Learning membership, with onboarding through your RIC. Minimum data: nickname, class, scores, settings.
Never
No selling or renting student data. No ads. No use of student data for marketing. No training AI on student data. Data stays in the United States.
NIST Cybersecurity Framework: honest status by function
8 NYCRR §121.5 names NIST CSF version 1.1 as the standard for educational agencies. We map to CSF 2.0 (released February 26, 2024), which adds the Govern function to the five 1.1 functions.
| Function | What it asks | Goal100 today | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Govern | Who is responsible; written policies. | Published Privacy Policy, Security page, Parents' Bill of Rights, agreement template and Acceptable Use. New (Nov 10, 2026): a written information security program (version 1.0) that names a Security and Privacy Officer. Not yet: cyber insurance. | Partial (in progress) |
| Identify | Know your data, systems and risks. | Data map is short today: no student PII. Hosting provider named. Data list for accounts is fixed in the template. Not yet: a yearly written risk assessment (starts before accounts open). | Partial |
| Protect | Safeguards. | HTTPS on every page; a strict Content Security Policy that blocks every outside script, frame and tracker; no cookies for tracking. Planned with accounts: row-level security, encryption at rest, two-step sign-in for admins, least-privilege access. | Done for today's site |
| Detect | Notice problems. | Automated crawl tests of every page before each release; a public way to report security issues. Not yet: monitoring and audit logs (needed only once accounts hold data). | Planned |
| Respond | Act on an incident. | Breach notice to the school within 7 calendar days of discovery (8 NYCRR §121.10) is in our agreement template. A written incident response plan is part of the security program. Not yet: a practice drill. | Partial (in progress) |
| Recover | Restore service. | The site is static files; a previous version can be put back from deploy history, with a 24-hour restore target (security program). Not yet: backup and restore targets for account data (set before accounts open). | Partial |

Accessibility: honest status
- Target: WCAG 2.1 Level AA, the standard in the U.S. Department of Justice's ADA Title II web rule for public entities.
- Done: keyboard use, visible focus, skip links, Listen button, text size, easy-read font, high contrast, dark mode, calm (no motion) mode; every 3D scene has a text or alternative version. Automated accessibility checks run across the site, and serious issues found were fixed in November 2026.
- Known limits: some 3D scenes and games are hard to use with a screen reader (each has a text alternative).
- Not yet: an independent audit and a published Accessibility Conformance Report (VPAT® format). We do not claim full conformance.
Interoperability: what works now and the roadmap
| Capability | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Link to any lesson | Every lesson has its own web address. Post it in any learning management system or class page. | Available |
| Works on managed devices | Web pages only: no install, no extension, only our own site needs to be reachable. | Available |
| Progress without accounts | "Send to my teacher" progress codes. | Available |
| OneRoster CSV class list | A teacher opens OneRoster 1.1 CSV files (classes, users, enrollments) in the browser. The page makes a class list with first names or initials and matches progress codes. Nothing is uploaded. | Available as an on-device teacher tool (Nov 10, 2026) |
| Automatic rostering (OneRoster sync) | Classes and rosters kept up to date from your student information system or RIC. | Planned after accounts open, not available yet |
| Single sign-on (ClassLink, Clever) | Students and teachers sign in with the district's existing portal. | Planned, not available yet |
| Grade passback, LTI | Sending scores to a gradebook or LMS. | Not planned yet |
"Planned" means on our list for after accounts open. It is not a promise or a date. Order: the on-device OneRoster class list (available now), then automatic rostering and single sign-on. Until then there is nothing to sign in to, because there are no student accounts.
What each reviewer will look for
Pick your role to see the checks and where to find the answers.
Pricing model
- Per student, per year, for a school or a whole district. A per-pupil price fits the "per pupil or unit" basis of charge that BOCES can use on a CoSer.
- Prices are on the Plans page. Build a dated, printable quote yourself with the instant quote.
- Regional (BOCES) terms are not published yet. A BOCES reviewer can still run the instant quote with the total students of the participating districts to see the model.
- New York's Software Aid statute (Education Law §751) covers content-based instructional materials in an electronic format, aligned with state standards and delivered through the internet on a subscription model. Your business office decides which aid applies to a purchase.
A self-serve BOCES pilot (8 weeks)
A pilot needs no contract and no student data, because it uses the Free Preview (lessons 1 to 3 of every course). Print this sheet and run it with two or three component districts.
For teachers: the free 60-day classroom pilot page explains the 3 measures (anonymous teacher survey, class mastery counts, paper emoji poll) and what we never collect. It fits inside weeks 1 to 6 of this sheet.
| Rubric item | Question for the panel | Score 1 to 4 |
|---|---|---|
| Standards fit | Do lessons match NYS standards and our pacing? | ____ |
| Student use | Could every student use it with little help, including English learners and students with IEPs? | ____ |
| Teacher time | Did logged prep minutes go down? | ____ |
| Mastery | What share of students reached 95% or more? | ____ |
| Privacy | Did any student PII leave the device? (Expected: no.) | ____ |
| Accessibility | Keyboard, screen reader, contrast and motion settings: any blockers? | ____ |
| Devices | Did it run on our Chromebooks and network filters? | ____ |
Evidence plan
Goal100 is new. There is no outcome study yet. Our evidence and logic model explains what the product is designed to change and how we plan to study it, the base for ESSA evidence level IV ("demonstrates a rationale"). A BOCES pilot with logged results is the next step toward stronger evidence.
Known gaps (what we still need before a regional purchase)
- No student or teacher accounts yet, so no class dashboard, rostering or single sign-on.
- No signed data privacy agreement yet with any New York district or BOCES.
- Not ready yet: business mailing address and phone, IRS Form W-9 (will be sent to business offices on request, not posted), certificate of insurance (no policy yet), accessibility conformance report, independent security assessment (for example SOC 2), backup and restore targets for account data.
- Written security program: drafted Nov 10, 2026; summary.
- No classroom pilot results yet. A free 60-day pilot is ready to run.
- Spanish: website, menus, help lines and big ideas are in Spanish; full Spanish lessons are being added.
We update this list when something changes.
