ChalkTalk is the only personalized learning program that creates state standards-aligned ACT and SAT curriculum adapted for each class, and personalized for every student.At ChalkTalk, we're helping teachers discover how the most advanced technology in education isn't one that requires hours of training or upends pedagogy - it's technology that runs behind the scenes, personalizing instruction while nudging students along a path of continual success.ChalkTalk is a remarkable new tool that helps every teacher ‘teach amazing.' Using fully-adaptive technology, it generates a personalized, supplemental curriculum for high school English Language Arts and Math classes that has shown to dramatically improve ACT and SAT scores.Using results from a student placement test, ChalkTalk's machine-learning software generates standards-aligned curriculum customized to fit within the existing class schedule. Lesson plans, instructional slides, walkthrough examples, and small group practice activities are adaptively generated for the teacher, while personalized practice problems and review exercises are adaptively generated for each student. In this way, ChalkTalk acts as the ultimate teacher's assistant - scaffolding instruction for each student while using class progress to shape future instruction.Today, ChalkTalk is used by schools across the United States from New York to Hawaii. After just 15 weeks, every school who used ChalkTalk had their students experience 2-6x more growth on ACT and SAT scores compared to other schools after a full year of traditional instruction.
