Make differentiation easy for teachers

Every learner is unique. Hāpara’s education management software helps teachers differentiate instruction, provide formative feedback at scale, and meet every student where they’re at without adding hours to their day.

Research shows that differentiated instruction can improve student engagement.

Create student groups

Hāpara has more ways to differentiate instruction than any other K-12 classroom monitoring software.

Easily access any student file in Google Drive

Teachers can differentiate and provide formative feedback at scale, so they can do more for learners without sacrificing their family and personal time.

Help teachers manage the new sources of distraction without compromising student privacy

YouTube and gaming are no longer the only sources of classroom distraction. Schools now have to contend with generative AI and maintain exam integrity. Hāpara Web Filter combines strong online safety with functional privacy controls and regional data residency.

A safer physical environment means better learning outcomes

Students and teachers must feel safe at school before they can be successful academically. Ensure no student meets a bully in the hallway. Know where every child is during an emergency. Hāpara Hall Pass is school administration software that helps you do both, while keeping safety a priority across your district.

Educators say Hāpara is a must-have for focused and effective digital learning.

“I love Hāpara so much! It has radically changed the way I teach whenever students are on computers. Hāpara allows me to sit and work or conference with individual students, while also keeping an eye on what the entire rest of my class is working on. It allows me to focus on individual student needs in a whole new way.”

Clayton Winter

Educator, School of the Future, New York

“Hāpara’s browser view is not a tool for surveillance but a powerful instrument to monitor, guide, encourage collaboration and promote responsible online behaviour among students.”

Rani

Educator, St. Joseph’s Primary School

“I have seen such a huge difference in my students’ productivity and digital citizenship already. The thing I love the most is that if students need redirecting, I can send them a private message to address the issue and not have to “call them down” in front of everyone. I have also used this tool to motivate students and praise them when they are doing well. I feel these factors have enabled me to protect my relationships and communication with my students.”

Jessica Burnette

Educator, Spartanburg County School District #6, South Carolina

“Hāpara can be used to teach good digital citizenship, provide focused digital learning, help differentiate instruction, keep lessons engaging and organized, and provide student feedback.”

Kristin Clark

Educator, Vandebilt Catholic High School, Louisiana

“I love Hāpara’s philosophy — protect, not police. We are able to use this to protect our students and to teach them good digital citizenship, while not feeling like police. I also love using the screen monitoring feature during class. I can instantly message students if necessary or pause or freeze screens if necessary — all privately with the student instead of calling them out in front of their class.”

Christy Lex

IT Manager and Educator, Lake County Christian Academy, Illinois

“Hāpara is not meant to be, ‘I got you.’ It’s meant to help focus you. It’s meant to make sure that we can get places faster. It’s not just meant for me to lock you down. I really think that a lot of our students, especially my school that’s 25% Special Ed, haven’t developed self-control yet, so that is helpful.”

Erica Peters

Instructional Coach, Pasadena Unified School District, California

“Hāpara helps the middle school mind focus on the task.”

Dave La Poma, Ed.D

Assistant Principal, Nathaniel Hawthorne Middle School 74, New York City Public Schools

“Hāpara’s been the best product that we’ve used here at Holdrege.”
