Poskin is the founder and CEO of TeachFX, an artificial intelligence-powered app that records teachers' lessons and gives them personalized feedback about what they do well and where they could improve. Like many fledgling businesses, TeachFX was nearly snuffed out by the Covid-19 pandemic, but today the company is partnered with about 70 school districts and is on track to book about $2.5 million in revenue this year. We'll show that as an aggregated thing, but never on an individual teacher level because we just philosophically believe it's so important for anybody's learning and growth that you feel safe doing it," Poskin said. Beyond business success, scaling the app quickly is important to Poskin in part because he believes AI is coming to teaching and he'd rather it be done with his teacher-confidential approach. Poskin and his team quickly developed a version of TeachFX that worked with Zoom lessons, and assumed that at least for the 2020-21 school year, no one would be interested in it. "I imagine this future where when university rankings come out, the student talk percentage is one of those foundational metrics that everybody's reporting on because it's what matters for learning," Poskin said.

Administrators aren't privy to the analysis teachers receive using the TeachFX app. "Eighty five percent teacher talk for me--even for an interview that makes me think: yikes!" Jamie Poskin was referring to the TeachFX analysis of the interview he'd just completed with Forbes. According to the app, he spent 85% of the call talking--which seems appropriate when answering a reporter's questions. But had he been teaching English to a class of ninth graders, that figure would be higher than it should be, according to decades of research on student learning.
