The reality
Why schools are switching from MagicSchool AI
Teachers and admins searching for a MagicSchool AI alternative are usually hitting the same walls. Here is what keeps coming up.
Compliance gaps create real risk
Schools need FERPA and COPPA guarantees before rolling out any AI tool. Vague data policies put administrators in a difficult position.
No real collaboration across departments
Teachers work in silos because there is no shared resource bank. Departments rebuild the same lessons over and over with no way to standardise.
Outputs are text documents not classroom slides
Most AI lesson tools produce text plans teachers still have to turn into actual slides. That is half the work still left to do.
Built for schools that need more than a text planner
School Administration
Compliant school-wide rollout with admin controls
Chalkie's Schools Plan gives administrators linked teacher accounts, an admin usage dashboard, centralised billing, and confirmed FERPA and COPPA compliance — with zero student data stored and no IT setup required.
- FERPA and COPPA compliant, zero student data stored
- Admin usage dashboard and centralised billing
- 30-day refund guarantee, no IT setup needed
Lesson Planning
Presentation-ready lesson slides in 30 seconds
Unlike tools that output text documents, Chalkie generates a fully structured visual slideshow — slides, vocabulary, learning objectives, and activities — ready to walk into class. Teachers select their curriculum framework, year group, and topic and Chalkie does the rest.
- Full slideshow output, not a text document
- Exports to Google Slides, PowerPoint, or PDF
- Curriculum-aligned across 23 countries and regions
Collaboration
Share and build a whole-school resource bank
Teacher Teams lets colleagues invite each other to shared Chalkie files, so departments can build a standardised resource bank together. Schools no longer have to rely on individual teachers rebuilding the same lessons independently.
- Invite colleagues to shared Chalkie files
- Share lessons, worksheets, and activities school-wide
- Available on the Schools Plan
Standards Alignment
Curriculum-aligned across every lesson automatically
Every lesson, worksheet, and unit Chalkie generates is automatically aligned to the teacher's chosen framework — Common Core, NGSS, TEKS, UK National Curriculum, ACARA, and 19 more — with no manual cross-referencing required.
- Common Core, NGSS, TEKS, UK, ACARA and more
- Alignment built into generation automatically
- 23 countries and regions supported
Differentiation
Scaffold and Stretch versions for every learner
Chalkie generates easier Scaffold and harder Stretch versions of worksheets and activities in one go, and the AI Slide Editor lets any teacher simplify or extend slides in plain English — valuable for mixed-ability classes across a whole school.
- Scaffold and Stretch versions generated simultaneously
- Edit slides: 'differentiate for lower ability'
- Works on lessons, worksheets, and activities
