Avi K. · Helping a chavrusa+2
One scanner. Your whole classroom.

A simple motion you can actually keep doing.

The system works because recording a moment takes seconds—not a walk to the board, a hunt for a clipboard, or another device in a student’s hands.

1

Print the codes

Each student gets a QR code automatically. Put labels on desks or keep them together on a clipboard.

2

Choose what you’re recording

Attendance, homework, participation, derech eretz, or any activity you create.

3

Scan and keep teaching

The student is recognized immediately, the record updates, and your shiur never stops.

Why Menchmark

The classroom system that stays in use.

Immediate enough for today. Organized enough to still mean something months from now.

⌁

Record without stopping

Recognize what just happened while you still have the room’s attention.

◉

Make recognition visible

Scores, standings, and recent moments give students feedback they know is real.

◇

Turn points into rewards

Use a prize store, raffle, auction, or a full Shulchani classroom economy.

Also built in: seating charts, attendance, homework, Chavrusa Mode, review tools, printing, trends, and more.

Who it’s for

Built for how you fit in the building.

Start in one classroom. Keep the same familiar system when the regular rebbi is out. Grow only when the school is ready.

For rebbeim

Record the moment and keep teaching.

Choose what you’re tracking, scan the printed code, and move on. Menchmark handles the history, standings, and rewards without taking over the shiur.

For menahalim

Begin with one room—not a rollout.

A rebbi can run Menchmark independently on his own classroom computer. No student devices, no schoolwide installation, and no commitment before the first classroom proves useful.

For substitutes

Walk in and keep the routine going.

On the classroom computer, the roster, printed codes, and activities are already there. The students know the system, and the substitute does not have to invent one at 8:15.

How Menchmark compares

A system has to survive the whole cycle.

Record the moment. Recognize the student. Turn it into a reward. Then make the system easy enough to repeat tomorrow.

Menchmark

From anywhere in the room, even offline.

RecognizeImmediate

The student flashes on the board and the history updates.

RewardBuilt in

Prize store, raffle, auction, or classroom economy.

RepeatLow friction

Nothing to hand out, count, restock, or copy later.

Raffle tickets

RecordHands-on

Walk over and hand out each ticket.

RecognizeTangible

The student immediately holds the recognition.

RewardRaffle-ready

Other reward systems still need manual counting.

RepeatMaintenance

Tickets get lost, wear out, and need restocking.

Point chart

RecordVisible

But every mark pulls you toward the chart.

RecognizeClear

The student sees the mark; the class may not.

RewardManual

Totals still have to be counted and redeemed.

RepeatEasy to miss

A few skipped days can quietly end the system.

Clipboard

RecordPortable

But writing breaks eye contact and gets postponed.

RecognizeDelayed

The student usually cannot see the recognition.

RewardSeparate work

Points must be totaled somewhere else.

RepeatWriting adds up

Every entry depends on the rebbi remembering later.

ClassDojo-style

RecordDigital

Often needs a phone, tablet, or a trip to the board.

RecognizeImmediate

Students can see and hear the result.

RewardLimited

Classroom rewards usually live outside the app.

RepeatMore screen time

The app has to remain open and in the lesson.

⌂

Local-first by design.

Your class is saved on your own computer and keeps working without internet. Menchmark does not receive your student data in local mode. You control your backups and optional exports.

Because the browser holds the primary copy, Menchmark reminds you to keep a current backup.

“I needed to record what happened right then—not after class, and not after walking away from the shiur.”
Made by a rebbi

Built for the way you already teach.

I built Menchmark after nearly a decade of substitute teaching and running school-wide programs. I tried raffle tickets, clipboards, post-its, point charts, and classroom apps. Each worked for a while—but eventually the recording became too much or the system quietly stopped being used.

Menchmark came from one requirement: record something immediately, from anywhere in the room, without interrupting the lesson. A printed code and one quick scan finally made that possible.

— Rabbi Berel Steinerman
