About TalkingPoints
TalkingPoints is a nonprofit family engagement platform built specifically for multilingual and under-resourced schools. It lets teachers send and receive two-way messages, photos, and announcements in 150+ languages, with AI-assisted translation that preserves educational nuance. Families with no smartphone, no email, or limited literacy can participate via plain SMS in their home language. Designed around equity research, TalkingPoints prioritises reaching the families traditional school communication tools miss. Used by thousands of Title I schools across the US; free for teachers with paid school and district tiers that add admin dashboards, SIS sync, and engagement analytics.
