@MrLim8888@dylanwiliam@TeachFX Great question @MrLim8888. TeachFX can be used in any setting and works in most languages. Was that what you were wondering about?
Using @TeachFX to give teachers automated feedback based on transcripts of their lessons increased their use of focusing questions—"questions that probe students’ thinking by pressing for explanations and reflection"—by 20%: https://t.co/vY9WEKEw5q
Great article from @AshleyYazarlou! She shared helpful templates for coaches, including a coaching menu, coaching agreement, and progress tracker. She also shared two tools that sound worth checking out: GoReact and TeachFX. #AZEdTechCoach

An analysis of 100,000 hours of audio from K-12 classrooms showed that students spoke for only SEVEN SECONDS for each hour on average.
And some companies are leveraging AI to help change that.
@TeachFX, a company that provides AI-powered instructional feedback for teachers, is the company that conducted that 100,000-hour analysis.
With TeachFX, teachers can get a private, on-demand classroom observation to help them understand and reflect on parts of their instructional practice.
After the session, they get a report that includes:
➡️ Classroom talk ratios (student vs. teacher talk time)
➡️ How long students spoke for on average
➡️ What types of questions were being asked
➡️ And more…
Keara Phipps, an elementary school teacher from Atlanta, used TeachFX to reduce her classroom talk time, achieving a 50:50 teacher-to-student talk ratio, emphasizing that "students should be equal participants in their learning.”
In a recent pre-registered randomized controlled trial involving 523 Utah mathematics and science K-12 teachers, researchers found that automated feedback with TeachFX increased teachers’ use of focusing questions by 20%. “Focusing questions" probe students’ thinking by pressing for explanations and reflection.
Similarly, a recent Stanford-led study found that another automated feedback tool (called M-Powering Teachers) improved instructors’ use of a practice known as uptake, where teachers acknowledge, reiterate, and build on students’ contributions.
“When teachers take up student contributions by, for example, revoicing them, elaborating on them, or asking a follow-up question, they amplify student voices and give students agency in the learning process”, wrote the authors of the study.
Based on reading these studies, it seems like there’s still a lot more to be done to make the platforms better.
But, in a world where schools are struggling to hire and retain teachers, it’s encouraging to start to see how AI can provide teachers with immediate support in a scalable way.
Every coaching relationship looks different. But the right #EdTech tools—from Google Forms surveys to TeachFX recordings—can make all the difference.👇

This is a really interesting article about TeachFX, an AI-powered tool offering feedback to help teachers boost student talk. I'm curious - could it also benefit educators leading PD sessions?
