Chalk & Roots
Chalk & Roots by Angella Barngrover helps teachers use AI, Science of Reading practices, ELD supports, and experiential learning to plan faster and teach with heart.
What it does
My journey began with FORTRAN programming on large mainframe computers in Jamaica. Over the decades I witnessed the arrival of personal computers, the Internet, Google, cloud computing, and now artificial intelligence. Each technological breakthrough has transformed education, while reinforcing one timeless truth — great teaching is about helping people learn. Long before AI entered the classroom, I was introducing students to computational thinking through Karel programming.
