McGraw Hill acquires TeachFX, expanding commitment to great teaching with AI coaching tool designed by educators
Acquisition will make coaching personal, private and actionable for educators while giving districts feedback to strengthen curriculum implementation and increase classroom impact
Acquisition of TeachFX will give educators useful insights into pupil progress without adding to workload
McGraw Hill, Inc. , a leading global provider of education solutions, has completed the acquisition of TeachFX, an AI-native instructional coaching platform.
The move will expand McGraw Hill’s professional learning capabilities and gives schools and districts a new way to support their teachers, improve curriculum implementation and drive classroom impact.
TeachFX allows teacher to record a class using a phone or laptop, and its proprietary AI and refined diarization technology automatically analyzes classroom interactions to generate feedback tied to high-leverage instructional practices, like using questioning techniques or pressing students to explain their thinking.
The tool gives teachers and coaches useful instructional insights without adding to their workload.
Research backs the tool’s effectiveness: according to several independent studies, average academic performance improved for the students of educators using TeachFX in math, ELA and science, and teachers reported higher morale and sense of self-efficacy.
Additionally, an MCP-enabled integration with Claude for Teachers turns TeachFX classroom feedback into actionable lesson plans for those with access to both tools.
Strengthening interactions in the classroom
Jana Thompson, interim President of McGraw Hill’s K–12 segment, said: “TeachFX gives McGraw Hill a powerful new way to support educators and help them become their best professionally.
“By adding scalable instructional coaching to our portfolio, we can help educators strengthen their practice, give district leaders more actionable insights, and create a stronger bridge between instructional materials and classroom impact.”
Jamie Poskin, TeachFX Co-Founder and CEO, said: “TeachFX was built to help educators better understand classroom instruction and use that insight to strengthen how they interact with students, encouraging more student talk and increasing engagement and, ultimately, outcomes.
“Joining McGraw Hill creates an opportunity to bring that support to more teachers, schools and districts as part of a broader commitment to effective curriculum implementation and professional learning.”
The acquisition builds on McGraw Hill’s recent acquisition of Teachally, an AI-powered platform that helps educators customize McGraw Hill’s trusted curriculum to their unique classroom needs.
Together, Teachally and TeachFX extend McGraw Hill’s support across two critical points in teaching and learning: developing and adapting hiqh-quality instructional materials and helping educators implement curriculum effectively in the classroom.
