Our mission is to help you find success with Speak Agent. That means giving you extra resources, not extra work. That means giving you more options and more control, not having AI replace your decision-making.
Ready-to-use resources for your teaching toolbox
Speak Agent delivers ready-to-use academic language lessons and activities for Tier 1 instruction. Each activity embeds research-based strategies, multilingual learner supports, and AA-level accessibility. Every digital lesson comes with a wide variety of activities that engage students across all six language domains in ways that are both engaging and effective. This gives you an easy-to-use instructional toolkit that integrates with Clever SSO, syncs with district class rosters, and even includes tools to customize the digital lessons to better suit individual class or student needs.
Integrated with your existing curriculum
You don’t have to adapt to us. We adapt to you! We take your curriculum scope, sequence, and pacing and reassemble our course to match yours. So when you are looking for Unit 1, it’s named and ordered the same in Speak Agent. No crosswalk needed.
Why do we do this? To save you time!
Flexible to your classroom needs and schedule
Some programs have rigid prescriptions to follow, which are unrealistic for a real classroom environment. Not Speak Agent! Our recommended dosage for is 4 hours per month and you have complete flexibility in how you spread that over the month. Also, you can work Speak Agent into your daily practice with any modality that works for you. We support independent practice, paired and group work, and teacher-led instruction. We support in-class work and homework. And we support just about any device that students can get their hands on, from Chromebooks and tablets to smartphones and creaky old computers in the lab. It all works!

New data insights at your fingertips
Speak Agent automatically collects usage and progress data in real-time as students engage in multimodal practice in the program. Whenever students respond to a question or prompt, the app records answer choices, scores, open-ended responses, voice recordings, visuals, writing exercises, end-of-unit formative assessments, and more! This allows us to provide you with an array of student growth measures around content vocabulary and knowledge.
