Frequently Asked Questions about Speak Agent

What is unique about Speak Agent?

Speak Agent is the only English language development (ELD) platform for K-12 math and science with evidence of effectiveness at a district-wide scale. We customize our Math + Language℠ and Science + Language℠ programs to supplement your curriculum and to fit your needs.

Which students benefit from Speak Agent?

All learners can benefit from Speak Agent! Academic language is no one’s home language. Strong content language skills are needed in all math and science content areas for evaluating information, expressing logical reasoning, explaining solution steps, arguing from evidence, communicating conclusions—language is embedded in all of the math and science practices! 

How do students learn academic language in Speak Agent?

Students learn using research-based instructional strategies that support Speak Agent’s academic language learning model. Our programs support independent practice, teacher-led instruction, and small group work.

Is it research-based?

Yes! Feel free to explore the learning science, the research-based strategies, and the empirical evidence. You can also see how Speak Agent meets ESSA evidence criteria and qualifies for federal grant funding.

Do you provide personalized learning?

Yes! Speak Agent provides personalization tools both for teachers and for students.

Do you incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) into your platform?

And a firm command of the relevant content language is foundational to all of those skills!

Yes! Please visit our accessibility page for details and for a full guide.
