Participation is collapsing in education at all levels due to the influences of technology. Schools who have turned to screen-based learning find it only reinforces the trend. Yet high-participation classrooms can create the same or better outcomes as any screen-based method. And they teach what screens never can: how to participate in the real world.
We create tools that help teachers raise the bar of participation in classroom learning

How it works
Measures and helps teachers create high-participation classrooms
Observes classrooms and displays a live, visible indicator of participation for everyone to see, then provides tips and guided experiences to help teachers with the hardest part of modern education: getting students to participate.
Provides rich insights and enhances cognitive participation
Gives teachers high-level insights from each class, including detailed feedback aligned to your school’s frameworks, curriculum, and the science of learning. M2talk also suggests Guides for the next day’s class and Talks to measure each student’s cognitive participation in learning.
Deep-dive analysis of classrooms with video
Using our connected video platform Reflectivity, teachers, coaches and admins can deep-dive into captured video of classrooms to optimize practices to new heights and to provide examplars teachers need to grow their capabilities.

Measuring the participation that matters can help address the collapse in your school, and be the leading indicator of performance your schools have been missing. It helps coaches accelerate teacher growth, enables school leaders to operate with greater cohesion, and allows district leaders to implement changes more rapidly and effectively.
Measuring participation gives faculty and researchers a way to connect theory into practice and better prepare candidates for the hardest part of teaching with modern learners. It also helps field supervisors provide more frequent, actionable guidance, gain clearer insight into candidate progress, and gather needed evidence for licensure and certification.
Prioritizing high-participation addresses the collapse in your institution, and helps it remain relevant by developing the skills graduates will need to thrive in the real world. It also support faculty in designing deeper learning, help academic leaders see where engagement is being sustained, and give provosts earlier insight into program vitality than lagging measures like retention and completion provide.
