The new feature increases transparency, strengthens school trust, and ensures districts can select the right live-streaming teachers for their students
CHICAGO, Nov. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Elevate K-12, the leading provider of high-quality, synchronous live-streaming instruction for K-12 schools, today announced the launch of its Teacher Selection Tool, a new feature designed to give school and district leaders more control in selecting the educators who will teach their students virtually.
The Teacher Selection Tool enables decision-makers to review, request, and match with certified teachers who align with their school's instructional goals. By providing transparency into teacher assignments, the tool strengthens trust, fosters better instructional fit, and accelerates the process of filling teaching roles in hard-to-staff subject areas.
"At a time when more than 400,000 classrooms nationwide lack a fully certified teacher, giving principals agency in the selection process of the teachers teaching in their school is critical," said Lauren Holliday, SVP of Product & Technology at Elevate K-12. "We are empowering principals and district leaders to make the best decisions for their schools and students by giving them insight into teachers' experience, teaching style, and fit. Trust is one of the most important factors in the education ecosystem, and this tool helps build it from the start."
Through the Elevate K-12 School & District Portal, leaders can now:
- Browse Teacher Profiles: Review credentials, teaching experience, and—coming soon—sample lesson videos
- Engage in Mutual Matching: Express preferences while teachers opt-in, ensuring strong mutual alignment
- Conduct Interviews: Request conversations with preferred candidates before final selection
- Retain Familiar Teachers: Returning districts may request previously assigned teachers to ensure continuity
- Access Seamless Integration: Use the tool directly within the existing Elevate K-12 portal for efficiency and ease
The Teacher Selection Tool represents Elevate K-12's broader commitment to reimagining the teaching workforce amid ongoing shortages. By combining flexibility, personalization, and choice with its live-streaming instruction model, Elevate K-12 ensures that every student—no matter their zip code—has access to the high-quality educators they deserve.
