Letter from the Founder: TeachFX raises $10M to create more meaningful and equitable classroom discourse
I am incredibly excited to announce today that we’ve brought $10M of new investment into TeachFX. Today, the TeachFX app is real -- doing everything I’d hoped it would back in 2016, and more, using cutting-edge voice AI we’ve developed that analyzes teaching practices such as levels of questioning, use of wait time 1 and 2, and uptake of student contributions.
We’re now in the hands of over 8,500 teachers across every state in the country. Our partnerships with schools and districts are expanding rapidly -- 9x growth in the last year alone. And in our partner districts, license utilization of the TeachFX app is over 100%.
New Insights Help Teachers See Classroom Conversation Patterns Even More Clearly
There’s so much happening at once when you’re teaching. It’s nearly impossible to have a complete picture of what really happened during a lesson. Whether you’re teaching or observing. TeachFX is here to change that.
TeachFX class reports provide insights about the practices most relevant to your teaching goals.
Now, the student voice, teacher voice, and questioning insights in your TeachFX class reports help you see visible evidence of the dialogical patterns and instructional practices that support deeper learning in your classroom.
4 Ways It’s Now Even Easier to TeachFX Your Next Lesson
Recording your classes on TeachFX has never been easier, or more personalizable to you and your classroom’s unique needs. Let’s check out what’s new.
New Reminders Make it Easier to TeachFX Your Class
We get it. There's a lot happening in your classroom. That’s why we designed our new Reminders features. We hope they support you in being intentional in your classroom. ✨
Whether setting a reminder to TeachFX your class, or creating custom reminders to reflect on your TeachFX class reports, TeachFX is here to make it a bit easier to make it happen.
How to Use the TeachFX-Zoom Integration
With our TeachFX-Zoom integration, teachers can automatically import any class they record on Zoom into TeachFX.
Doing so helps teachers gain the same insights about engaging students in their learning, and about their own teaching practice, as they would using TeachFX in person in the classroom.
What’s more, it’s helping teachers, school leaders, and district leaders to support more equitable classrooms.
