a hyphen before "they're encouraging it"

Some schools are doing more than tolerating back talk in classrooms they're encouraging it, with new interactive learning devices.I feel that there should be a kind of punctuation before "they're encouraging it" like "-". Am I right?

Thank you.

A colon is better in my opinion.

@sullyfish6,
Thank you for your reply, but your answer has no conjunction between two sentences.

@jinmin1988,

@jinmin1988,
sullyfish's reply is one sentence, containing two clauses separated by a comma.
