Scaffolded activities build on each child’s skill level
TeachSmart content is proven to help children master pre-literacy and math concepts through scaffolded levels. Lesson Plans guide the teacher in modeling each activity and skills can be adjusted to be simple or advanced, based on each child’s development. Teachers can keep children in their optimal learning zone with millions of pathways to explore.
Dual Language Instruction
Perfect for ELL or an Introduction to Spanish
Hatch has designed the only Spanish interactive whiteboard content solution for preschool-aged English language learners (ELL). Teachers can easily toggle between English and Spanish lessons, giving children the opportunity to learn concepts in their home language first. This makes the transfer to English proficiency more natural. The dual language system is also a powerful tool for introducing Spanish to native English speakers. > Learn more
Monitor Each Child's Progress
Capture and share authentic work samples
Record written and spoken actions your children make on the interactive whiteboard and save to a digital portfolio. Recorded stories, drawings and activities can be played back so parents and teachers can observe a child’s actual work without watching over their shoulder. With time-stamped clips, these unique digital portfolios illustrate a child’s progression over time.

Less Clutter, More Organization
Interactivity integrates seamlessly into the classroom
TeachSmart goes beyond instruction and helps teachers efficiently manage all aspects of the classroom – giving children access to hands-on technology all day long. Saving and customizing daily routines and charts on the SMART Board™ interactive whiteboard, rather than managing boards and flip charts, saves time, money and space!
Circle Time
Engage learners and enhance concepts covered throughout the curriculum during circle time.
Daily Routines
TeachSmart is packaged with supporting materials for going over helpers, attendance, rules, weather and more!
Classroom Charts
Make electronic charts and poems your own and use them over and over. Only bring them up when you need them, saving wall space. Plus, you can highlight letters or change the endings making them even more interactive.
eBooks
Rather than reading the same books over and over to support best practices in learning to read books, allow children to explore eBooks that read to children and track the print for them.
Free Play
Integrate the interactive whiteboard into center time to support creativity and cooperative play. Children can play to their heart’s content without the need for teacher interaction.
Storytelling & Recorded Activities
Bring storytelling into the technology-age by capturing more than just drawings and print — the SMART™ Record can show the child physically using the activity while hearing the child explain their thought process. Teachers can even record their own stories and play them back for the children.
Digital Portfolios
Educators can create digital portfolios, complete with audio and video documentation for assessments that show what is being taught daily. Each child’s digital work and progress can be share as evidence of their growth.
Lesson Planning
Plan daily activities and routines in advance so even a substitute can enter the classroom and pick up where the teacher left off–launching activities quickly and keeping children captivated! Each activity includes a lesson plan with step-by-step instructions, group size, beyond the board recommendations and more!
