About Chalk Talk

At Chalk Talk, we believe that education is human. It's more than scores and statistics. Be part of a team that's transforming education and achieving up to 6x improvement in student learning outcomes.

Chalk Talk uses student assessments to generate digital courseware for every day in the course schedule. Every modular Chalk Talk lesson comes with teaching materials for the teacher; small group work and computer-adaptive practice for students; and progress reports for administrators. Chalk Talk is delivering improvement in student learning outcomes up to 6x, as measured by third-party test scores. It is currently used to power high school literacy and numeracy instruction district-wide at some of the largest US districts - including 7 of the largest 100.

Chalk Talk currently has 16 employees.
