Elective courses help students stay engaged with school. If a vacancy goes unfilled, districts risk losing not only a class but also the students most likely to disengage.

Elective Vacancies Are Easy to Deprioritize Until You See What Students Lose

When staffing is limited, elective positions are left open first and filled last.When staffing is limited, elective positions are left open first and filled last. Yet nearly half of high school dropouts cited uninteresting classes as their primary reason for leaving, and nearly 70% reported feeling unmotivated. For students at risk of disengaging, electives are often the classes that keep them connected to school.

Live Every Period โ€” Because Electives Are Not Study Halls

A Proximity Learning elective teacher is livestreamed into your classroom every period, leading real lessons rather than supervising students through a vacancy.

Your Curriculum or Proximity Learning's

Teachers follow your existing elective curriculum, CTE program, or state-approved materials, or use Proximity Learning’s own standards-aligned curriculum as a ready-made option.

In-Room Facilitator Support

A facilitator stays in the classroom every period to support the livestreamed teacher, help with hands-on parts of the lesson, and keep the classroom organized from start to finish.
