Welcome!

TeachFX combines evidence-based virtual professional learning, job-embedded teacher feedback technology, and unprecedented school-wide data on instructional trends to help your teachers get students engaged in their virtual and in-person classes. We invest heavily in our partnerships to meet the particular instructional goals and budget context of your school or district.

The TeachFX app provides teachers with instructional feedback privately and automatically, by visualizing which portions of class are teacher talk, student talk, group talk, and wait time.

Teachers have used this feedback to work on their teacher talk v. student talk ratio, questioning technique, uptake, wait time, academic language, equitable participation, and more.

On average, using the TeachFX app has led to an 88% increase in student participation.

TeachFX was created by Jamie Poskin, a former English and math teacher passionate about equity and student engagement.

Teachers simply use TeachFX on their phone or laptop to record a class, and our voice artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm tracks the teacher talk vs. student talk automatically, with no extra work from the teacher or an instructional coach. (When you create a TeachFX account, you give our algorithm a sample so it can “learn” your voice.)

The idea is to give teachers a useful barometer of student engagement they can track every day!

TeachFX works on any device with a microphone -- Apple or Android phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer.

You can download the TeachFX app on the Apple app store, Google Play store, or the web.

TeachFX offers school or district licenses priced to meet your particular context. To get a quote for your school or district, contact our team to get the conversation started.

Whether you’d like to pilot TeachFX with a group of teachers in your school or district, or provide TeachFX to every teacher in your organization, we can design a partnership that fits your professional development needs and instructional goals.

Yes! TeachFX can design a partnership to include every teacher in your school or district, or start with a pilot program, for instance supporting a certain set of teachers and instructional coaches.

TeachFX is currently partnered with schools and districts throughout the U.S. and U.K. So it’s very likely that other schools in your district are already partnered with TeachFX or are also considering it right now.

You can see stories from our partners here on our blog, in our collection of TeachFX impact & efficacy research, as well as over on our YouTube channel.

Or, contact us to learn about TeachFX partners in your district.

Research shows that the more students talk in class, the more they learn…and the better they perform on standardized tests (Lotan, 2012; Holthuis, 2012; Michaels, 2008; Bianchini, 1997; Cohen, 1997; Leechor, 1989; Vygotsky, 1978).

Student engagement is one of the most powerful drivers of academic performance, and yet teachers, schools, and districts currently have no real evidence of how they’re doing. Are students participating at high rates in your classrooms? How do you know?

Over the last two years, schools and districts where teachers used TeachFX increased their student participation by an average 12.6 minutes per class.

You can listen to a few excerpts from our interviews with teachers if you’re curious. Overall, we truly believe TeachFX is the most effective way to improve outcomes for your students.

TeachFX believes that teachers should be able to use our platform to improve their practice without fear of being judged or evaluated.

Therefore: as the teacher, you have complete ownership over your recordings on TeachFX. Your administrators or colleagues cannot access your recordings without your permission.

TeachFX will never be used to evaluate a teacher. Remember: no one can see your class reports but you.

Using data to penalize teachers in evaluations or as a “gotcha” is completely antithetical to the mission of our company, which is to help teachers lead their own professional learning and develop a more self-reflective practice.

Yes! TeachFX is fully FERPA and COPPA compliant — the law protects teachers to make recordings of their classes for professional development purposes without requiring any permissions, and making class recordings is, as you probably have seen, a very common professional learning practice throughout K-12 education in the US.

TeachFX data is stored on a secured, encrypted server where only the teacher has access.

Recordings are owned solely by the teacher who chooses to record a class. You can read our full privacy policy here.

While you are not required to ask permission from students, we certainly encourage you to tell them you’re using TeachFX! Dozens of teachers have told us about the positive impact on classroom culture this can have.

Here’s an example of what you might say:

“Hey class, it’s really important to me that I’m hearing your voices in this classroom, that you are the ones doing most of the thinking and the talking, not me.

So today I’m going to start using this app that helps me make sure I don’t talk too much and that I leave room for your voices. Can I get a volunteer to help remind me to turn it on every day?”

We’re here to help! Please start a chat with our team here on the website or over in the app. Or contact us at support@teachfx.com.

First off, you rock. Teachers with this kind of drive to improve their craft are exactly why we work so hard to make the TeachFX tool as awesome as possible for you.

For instructional support, stories from our partners, and more, take a look at our blog and recordings of our recent online events.

You can also book TeachFX to come to your school or district for an in-person workshop.

Contact us (support@teachfx.com) if you’re interested. We’d love to visit you!
