TEACHERS | TalkingPoints vs Schoolhouse Moolah

The TalkingPoints Teacher app helps teachers reach all parents and guardians, regardless of language, via text messages in 100+ languages. Our translation is done by a combination of human translators and machines, allowing for seamless communication with all of your families. TalkingPoints helps teachers • Communicate with non-English speaking parents through automatic 2-way translation • Quickly send messages to one parent, a group of parents or to the whole class • Keep their cell phone numbers private by sending text messages through the app • Attach pictures, videos, polls, and files to text messages to share what students are learning in school • Preschedule messages to go out when parents are available to read them "Teachers have busy schedules and don't have a lot of time to learn how to use a new tool, but what I want other educators to know is how easy it is to communicate with parents through TalkingPoints. I love it and use it everyday!” - Ms. Cardenas, ESL teacher TalkingPoints is free for teachers in the U.S./Canada. Sign up today!

Schoolhouse Moolah is a free classroom economy and behavior management app designed by teachers for grades K–5. It helps students build real-world financial literacy while reinforcing positive behavior in a fun, age-appropriate way. Teachers use this mobile app to set up and manage their classroom economy—assigning jobs, customizing expectations, awarding bonuses, applying fines, and managing a virtual store. Students access a web-based dashboard to track their earnings, savings, and purchases—learning to budget, set goals, and make smart decisions. The platform offers weekly Student Bank Statements for families and real-time teacher behavior logs. It aligns with PBIS, MTSS, Common Core, and financial literacy frameworks like MyMoney Five. Note: Teachers must download this free app to use Schoolhouse Moolah effectively with students. Visit schoolhousemoolah.org to get started.
