For school leaders, pupil support coordinators and procurement

GoYou for school leaders

GoYou builds complete, tailored learning paths: lesson by lesson towards a goal, with a presentation, instructions, practice work and an AI tutor that guides the student through it. It is safe, it is many times cheaper than a regular textbook method, and it can be used far more widely.

What it is

GoYou builds tailored series and learning paths: lesson by lesson towards a goal the teacher chooses. Every lesson consists of a presentation, instructions, practice work and an AI tutor that guides the student through it. The teacher describes where the class needs to get to, GoYou builds the lessons, the teacher approves and teaches them. What students show in one lesson decides the next.

What it costs

In the beta, nobody pays anything. After that a teacher can start for free, with five uses a month. The paid tiers are per teacher per month, including VAT: Lesson €9.50, Class €19.50 or Complete €29.50, with all subjects and all classes included. Students are free in every tier. If the whole school takes GoYou for a full school year, every teacher pays 15 percent less.

Where the data is stored

All tasks in which student data goes to a language model run with a European supplier. That supplier uses the data only to make the lesson or give an answer, does not keep it afterwards and does not train on it. Zero data retention has been agreed with that supplier and put in writing. The database, the file storage and the servers that run the application are in Frankfurt. With schools we sign the Model Verwerkersovereenkomst (the model data processing agreement) that belongs to the Convenant Digitale Onderwijsmiddelen en Privacy (the Dutch covenant on digital learning materials and privacy), with a privacy information sheet and a security annex. It lists our suppliers by name, with the country of processing.

Logging in and the education chain

Students log in with the school account they already have, through ECK iD, the Dutch education identifier. If a school does not use it, students get a username from GoYou and do not need an email address. GoYou is in the process of joining Edu-V and is working towards the Edu-V quality mark.

Responsibility for the content

GoYou supplies the material, the teacher approves it and teaches the lesson. The AI tutor stays within the material and the lesson the teacher has set, and passes questions outside that on to the teacher.

Rolling out across a team

No implementation project is needed. GoYou is designed so that a teacher can find their own way through it: the system itself asks the questions it needs, and anyone who wants to know something asks the GoYou Helpdesk, in the product and on this site. So a teacher can start today without anyone sitting next to them. During the beta we come to your school to take your teachers through it.

Teachers and their school

Teachers pick their school from the national register kept by DUO. A school email address or a colleague confirms that they work there. Only then can colleagues see each other and share lessons and series, which GoYou rewrites for the class of the colleague who receives them.

Why this delivers more.

GoYou is built on one principle: material that connects with the world of a class and of the individual student delivers more. That is one of the better-researched findings in educational psychology. That is why we expect GoYou to produce higher learning gains than a generic lesson generator or a chatbot.

A connection with their own world raises both interest and grades. In experimental research in which students explicitly linked the material to their own lives, both interest and performance went up. The effect was strongest among the students who performed least well. Hulleman & Harackiewicz, Science, 2009; replicated by Hulleman et al., 2017.
Tasks set in a context the student recognises are done better. On maths problems tailored to the student’s interests, performance was higher than on the same problems in a standard context.Walkington, Journal of Educational Psychology, 2013; Walkington & Bernacki, 2018.
Teaching material that connects with students’ own surroundings carries through into engagement and results. A review study across several subject areas found this consistently.Aronson & Laughter, Review of Educational Research, 2016.

What it gives your school.

Coherence instead of little islands

Learning paths instead of one-off lessons, and lessons and series that teachers share with each other: that way a school year becomes one story.

Insight into what works

GoYou marks the work, and teachers see for each class where students get stuck, without marking piles of work themselves. Your team can then have that conversation itself.

Preparation time back

A lesson is ready in about ten minutes instead of an evening, including for the lessons your school has no textbook for.
