A deliberate way to bring MyGRIT Course® into your school.
Pilots are designed for schools, universities, and academic networks ready to operationalize learning science at the cohort or department level.
- 01Discovery
Identify the cohort, the academic context, and the learning behaviors you want to make visible.
- 02Calibration
Onboard educators and align stakeholders around DGRP™ and ELM. Set the success signals.
- 03Deployment
Roll out the platform to students. The AI companion, framework, and stage guidance go live.
- 04Synchronization
Parents and educators are brought into the same model. Behaviors become observable.
- 05Review
Engagement data and qualitative findings are reviewed. Pilots either expand or refine.
What a signed letter of intent looks like.
A pilot letter of intent commits your institution to a structured, time-limited evaluation of MyGRIT Course® for the 2026-2027 academic year. It is not a district-wide adoption commitment. It is an agreement to run one cohort, measure defined outcomes, and review the data together before any expansion decision.
- A defined student cohort — typically 30 to 150 students in one grade level or program
- Educator onboarding and DGRP™ training for participating staff
- Student onboarding through the Twin AI™ Meet Your Twin experience
- Parent orientation materials and DGRP™ question guides
- Real-time engagement data in the institutional dashboard
- A written outcome summary at pilot close, suitable for board presentation
$5 to $15 per student plus a one-time implementation fee starting at $5,000. Most pilots fall below the board approval threshold for new expenditures. Institutional partners are encouraged to confirm applicable thresholds with their procurement office.

Funding pathways.
MyGRIT Course® is designed to align with existing institutional funding structures. The following federal funding programs support the populations and outcomes the platform serves.
- Title I, Part A
Serves low-income students and supports academic achievement. MyGRIT Course® serves the exact population Title I was created to reach.
- TRIO Programs
Student Support Services and Upward Bound explicitly target first-generation and low-income students for postsecondary success.
- College and Career Readiness Funding
Funds programs preparing students for postsecondary success — the explicit purpose of the Effort Learning Model™.
Many districts can access MyGRIT Course® through funding lines they already hold. Contact us to discuss what applies to your institution.
Institutional partners are encouraged to confirm eligibility with their grants administrator based on their specific program design.
