Transforming Classrooms Through Real Stories
The Chalkboard Agency uses the power of story to connect students to each other and to their world. We enable educators to easily bring dozens of voices and experiences to their students by using the modern chalkboard; video.
Whether you’re a educator, principal, or superintendent, you’ll find stories that sound familiar—sometimes even like your own students. Our video-based lessons for grades 6–12 spark empathy, resilience, and connection through real voices with lasting impact. These are stories your students will carry with them long after the bell rings.
On-Site Programs
Build positive culture and connections at your school with our grade appropriate programming for students from 4th grade through 12th. Unique programs for 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th graders and a High School Program.
Senior wRap
A fun, interactive, hilarious assembly to not only celebrate your seniors, but to also help them wrap up the year with good choices and fun. Best done in April and May, this is a perfect send off for your graduates.
Digital Curriculum
You can bring dozens of speakers to your students throughout the year with The Story Exchange. Real people who look like your students, and many who don’t share their stories in short videos with embedded curriculum.
