# XP, levels, streaks, quests and rewards

> Students earn XP for learning and for helping each other. XP sets their level and their place on the academy's one leaderboard; the same XP fills their coins, which they spend in your reward shop without losing rank. You choose every number.

## What a student sees

![A student's Leaderboard page: level and streak, weekly quests, How to earn XP](https://prolaud.com/help/xp-levels-rewards/02-student-leaderboard.png)

*A student's Leaderboard page.*

- Their level, with a bar to the next one, and their streak — days in a row with a lesson, a class, a quiz or a challenge check-in. Talk alone does not keep a streak.
- Weekly quests: three small goals each Monday; doing all three earns bonus XP.
- How to earn XP, with your academy's own numbers.
- Their badges, and how many members have each one.
- The reward shop: coins to spend.

## Your settings

![The teacher's settings: what is switched on, XP for each thing, levels, weekly quests, your own badges, houses, reward shop, level unlocks](https://prolaud.com/help/xp-levels-rewards/01-teacher-settings.png)

*Leaderboard → Settings.*

- What is switched on: the board, streaks, quests, rewards — each can be off.
- Kids mode: no other child's name on any board; children see their own progress and their house's total.
- Your own badges, given by hand or by a rule.
- Houses: teams with a shared total.
- Reward shop: what you offer and its price in coins. A claim waits for you under Rewards; a coupon reward makes its own coupon.
