Elevate K-12 Scales to Alaska As It Expands Its LIVE teaching to School Districts to Solve For Their Teacher Shortages
FAIRBANKS, AK (PRWEB) August 08, 2023 -- Elevate K-12, the leading provider of synchronous LIVE teaching for K-12 classrooms in the United States, is expanding its presence in Alaska with a newly signed district and another district expanding its Elevate K-12 services. The expansion brings the innovative company to a total of 260 school districts across the United States.
“We couldn’t be happier to be expanding Elevate K-12 in Alaska,” said Shaily Baranwal, Elevate K-12’s Founder and CEO. “By partnering with districts around the country, we are achieving our goal of ensuring no classroom in America is without a qualified and engaging teacher. Our live, synchronous and effective teaching model solves critical problems facing schools today by providing access to teachers who would not otherwise be accessible to that school.”
The expansion in Alaska will support Elevate K-12 in its mission to solve the ongoing teacher-shortage crisis by bringing its LIVE teaching to more schools and districts that lack teachers in critical content in key educational areas, including core academic classes as well as relevant electives such as Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Personal Finance, as well as Special Education, where the teacher shortage crisis is most acute.
For several years, schools across the country have been struggling to fill vacant positions and shrink class sizes that have grown significantly as a result of the teacher shortage. Further, a survey conducted by the National Education Association revealed that 55% of teachers say they now plan to exit the profession earlier than they planned on at the beginning of their careers. Elevate K-12’s seamless LIVE instruction helps provide schools with great teachers as they contend with these challenges.
“We are offering teachers the ability to teach on their terms - allowing them the flexibility to own their schedules and teach from anywhere, which will keep them in the profession longer and drive more talent to the profession,” said Baranwal. “We are eager to see the positive impact that Elevate K-12 will have on Alaska.”
