McGraw Hill has acquired TeachFX, an AI-powered instructional coaching platform designed to support teachers and improve classroom outcomes. The tool records classroom audio and uses AI to analyse interactions, providing educators with feedback on instructional practices such as questioning techniques and student engagement. Independent studies show that students of teachers using TeachFX demonstrated improved academic performance in maths, English language arts, and science. Teachers also reported higher morale and self-efficacy. The acquisition follows McGraw Hill's recent purchase of Teachally, another AI platform for customising curriculum. Together, these tools aim to support educators in both developing instructional materials and implementing them effectively in classrooms. TeachFX co-founder Jamie Poskin said joining McGraw Hill will enable the platform to reach more teachers and schools. Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

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%.
