Positive teacher-student relationships are crucial for learning success. Working collaboratively with educators and researchers, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) education team ― a multidisciplinary team that includes engineers, product managers, and designers ― builds educational tools like Along that help teachers form stronger connections with their students and enhance their learning experiences.

Along is a first-of-its-kind teacher-student connection builder that facilitates meaningful, one-on-one conversations that are foundational for student engagement and academic success. Along helps bridge the connection gap between teachers and students within the challenging realities of today’s classrooms.
