How eChalk Helps You

Teachers

Increase your productivity with tools that help you collaborate with colleagues and drive student achievement.

Not Enough Time in the Day

As a teacher, you often know exactly what to do to positively impact student performance, but simply lack the time and resources to make it happen on a truly transformative scale. Planning lessons to fulfill state and local standards; collaborating with colleagues; making students accountable for their own performance; communicating with parents—all these important activities take time and effort inside and outside the classroom. With eChalk’s Online Learning Environment, you can accomplish these responsibilities more easily and effectively – and save time.

Enhance and Extend Learning

eChalk empowers you to create a collaborative, student-focused learning environment that is accessible before, during, and after school. By posting learning resources and online discussions on your class pages, you help students practice key investigative, problem-solving, and diplomacy skills both inside and outside the classroom walls. eChalk’s powerful communication tools—including email, surveys, online discussions, and group forums—allow you to collaborate more easily with fellow teachers as well, supporting team teaching, departmental collaboration, and mentoring programs that increase productivity and improve the quality of classroom instruction.

Save Time

With eChalk’s Online Learning Environment, you can:

  • Assign, accept, and review homework electronically
  • Securely publish grades and important announcements
  • Archive and reuse effective lesson plans and resources and share them with your fellow teachers
  • Reduce busywork related to handling absent students, parent inquiries, etc. and save class time by making relevant information available 24/7 in your online classroom
  • Decrease the use of paper and time spent photocopying handouts and homework assignments

Engage Parents

Giving parents the information they need to help their kids succeed in school is crucial, but finding the time to communicate with each and every parent at the end of a full day teaching and grading assignments can be a challenge. With eChalk, you can let parents know what’s going on in the classroom without multiple letters or phone calls. If an academic or disciplinary issue arises, you can immediately reach out to parents through eChalk’s secure email system. By closing the gap between school and home, eChalk turns parents into effective allies for teachers, helping you to improve instruction and meet ever-rising expectations for students’ academic achievement.
