For Districts | AlloFlow

The Problem

Your teachers are juggling 5–7 different EdTech subscriptions:

Text leveling
Newsela, Diffit

Gamified quizzes
Kahoot, Quizizz

Interactive lessons
Nearpod, Pear Deck

Accessibility tools
Read&Write, Immersive Reader

Reading assessment
Amira, Literably

AI content generation
MagicSchool, School AI

Annual cost for a typical school site: $20,000–$30,000.

Each tool requires separate logins, separate training, separate data-sharing agreements, and separate renewal negotiations. Most collect student data your district is already struggling to govern.

The Solution: One Open Platform

AlloFlow is a single, open-source platform that combines all six categories — plus specialty clinical tools that typically aren't even part of the subscription stack because districts can't afford them.

Capability	Typical Tool	Typical Cost	AlloFlow
Text leveling	Diffit	$3,000/yr	✓ Included
Gamification	Kahoot	$3,000/yr	✓ Included
Interactive lessons	Nearpod	$5,000/yr	✓ Included
Accessibility suite	Read&Write	$4,500/yr	✓ Included
Oral fluency assessment	Amira	$3,000/yr	✓ Included
AI content generation	MagicSchool	$5,000/yr	✓ Included
TOTAL (top 6 rows)		~$26,000/yr	$0
The rows below are additive value — clinical tools most districts can't afford in the first place, not subscription replacements:
AAC / symbol boards	Boardmaker	$500+/student	✓ Symbol Studio
PDF accessibility remediation	Human services	$5–25/page	✓ AI remediation pipeline

Why It's Free

AlloFlow is licensed under AGPL v3 — the same license as Linux.

No subscription fees

Zero cost forever. Not freemium, not a trial.

Public, auditable code

Your IT or security team can read every line on GitHub.

No vendor lock-in

Self-host, fork, or walk away. The code is yours.

Built by a school psychologist, for educators. The catch? There isn't one.

Privacy & Compliance

Concern	Answer
Where does student data go?	For local-first paths, work can stay in browser storage, local files, Desktop, or school-controlled infrastructure. Cloud paths depend on the selected provider and deployment.
Do students need accounts?	No student accounts are required for local session flows. Student-identifying data should still be governed by district configuration and policy.
Can it support FERPA-aligned deployment?	Yes, when configured appropriately. Final compliance depends on district policy, contracts, retention settings, and actual use.
Google Workspace for Education integration?	Can run inside Gemini Canvas or district-hosted paths. Workspace DPA coverage and data-processing obligations should be confirmed by the district.
Can we self-host?	Yes — Canvas, Desktop, Firebase, and optional School Box/server paths are documented.
What AI model powers it?	It depends on deployment: Gemini Canvas, a district-owned API key, or local providers such as Ollama through Desktop/School Box paths.

Your IT department can deploy AlloFlow on district infrastructure or use the local-first Desktop path. Procurement, privacy review, and data agreements still depend on the deployment selected.

What's Included

720+ documented features on a single UDL-aligned platform, spanning:

For teachers

Adventure Mode RPG with XP + AI-illustrated scenes. Boss Battle / Escape Room / Democracy / Jeopardy cooperative learning games. Immersive Reader with RSVP, karaoke highlighting, bionic reading, oral fluency coach.

For SPED, SLPs, BCBAs

Symbol Studio (AAC): AI-generated PCS symbols, board builder, Carol Gray social stories, 14-language boards. BehaviorLens: full FBA/BIP suite with 6 IOA methods, 5 sampling types, preference assessments. Word Sounds, StoryForge.

For school psychologists

Report Writer with 17 assessment presets (WISC-V, WIAT-4, BASC-3, Vineland-3, BRIEF-2, Conners-4, WJ-IV, KABC-II, DAS-II, CELF-5, KTEA-3, SRS-2, GARS-3, BOT-2), fact-chunk PII scrubbing, self-healing accuracy audit. Student Analytics: RTI tier classification, CBM probes. PDF Accessibility Pipeline: 5-auditor triangulated AI audit with ICC/Cronbach's-α.

STEM Lab

111 STEM tool files and 116 registered STEM IDs across math, life/earth/space science, physics/chemistry, CS/tech, and creative/applied labs. Includes RoadReady driver's ed, Space Explorer roguelike, LLM Literacy Lab, AppLab generative-AI mini-app builder.

SEL Hub

70 SEL tools aligned to CASEL's 5 competencies: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, responsible decision-making. Growth Mindset Workshop, Restorative Circle, Ethical Reasoning Lab, Culture Explorer.

See the full feature index for every tool, grouped by UDL guideline.

Deployment Options

1. Gemini Canvas

Zero install. Teachers launch AlloFlow in Google's Gemini Canvas when district Workspace policy supports that path.

Fastest web path for districts already using Gemini.

2. AlloFlow Desktop

Recommended local-first package. Runs the app locally for teacher laptops and workstation deployments without Docker.

Desktop setup on GitHub.

3. Self-hosted Firebase

District-controlled cloud. Hosts as a static site on your district's Google Cloud.

Deploy guide on GitHub.

4. Optional School Box Server

School-owned server stack. Docker-based services can run local model, DB, TTS, search, and gateway components on district hardware when that infrastructure is needed.

Optional infrastructure path; Desktop is the simpler local-first package for most individual teachers and workstations.

Accessibility

WCAG 2.1 AA-Oriented Evidence

Published VPAT and audit evidence document keyboard, contrast, landmark, labeling, and reduced-motion work. Districts should still validate the exact workflows they plan to use.

Offline TTS

Two engines: Kokoro (English) and Piper (40+ languages). Audio never hits cloud APIs.

Reading supports

Dyslexia fonts (OpenDyslexic, Lexend), color overlays (Irlen), bionic reading, reading ruler, RSVP speed reader.

Keyboard + multilingual

Full keyboard accessibility; no mouse-required interactions. 18-language UI with community-contributed translations.

School Psychologist, Portland Public Schools (ME) & Developer

• Clinical focus: students with executive-function, attention, and learning differences
• 413 passing automated tests covering scoring, PII scrubbing, RTI tier classification, assessment-preset integrity, and pure-helper invariants
• Historical April 2026 accessibility audit and current VPAT/audit evidence; independent validation is still appropriate for procurement
• Published doctoral research on game-based math instruction: Use of Minecraft Education to Teach 5th-Grade Common Core Math Standards (ERIC ED659551)
• AlloFlow Desktop is the primary local-first path; Docker School Box is optional school-owned server infrastructure
