Dallas Independent School District Utilizes Live Online Teachers

Leave a comment

“My biggest goal always has been to ensure quality instruction in every classroom,” said Luis Cardenas, a J.L. Long Middle School assistant principal. “So since my goal in this school has always been to ensure there is quality instruction, then Proximity is the means for me to achieve that goal.”


DALLAS (PRWEB)

Proximity Learning Inc. (PLI) is proud to announce a new partnership with the Dallas Independent School District (DISD). The district is now bringing in online teachers after PLI was awarded an RFP for the 2019-2020 school year.

J.L. Long Middle School, the first school in the district to pilot online teachers has now expanded the program to seven American Sign Language (ASL) sections, four 6th and 7th grade classes and three 8th grade classes. Around 20 students daily attend each class and sign along with a Texas certified ASL teacher provided by PLI. They are connected via live video chat so students can see the teacher and the teacher can see and interact with the students.

“My biggest goal always has been to ensure quality instruction in every classroom,” said Luis Cardenas, a J.L. Long Middle School assistant principal. “So since my goal in this school has always been to ensure there is quality instruction, then Proximity is the means for me to achieve that goal.”

With online teachers, students are learning a world language in a dynamic, interactive environment while preparing them for college and career applications.

The PLI teachers are equally committed to carrying out J.L. Long Middle School’s stated mission of cultivating “young minds and spirits for global leadership in academic achievement and personal excellence.” One of these is six-year teacher Jonah Eleweke.

“It’s been very memorable watching the students grow in their ASL skills,” Eleweke said. With workers fluent in ASL in high demand, Eleweke wants to help open future doors for his middle school students by helping them “appreciate this opportunity to learn ASL as a life-long ability that should bode well for them in their future work given Deaf clients are everywhere in all fields.”

Eleweke said he appreciates the support of the PLI-trained in-class facilitator at J.L. Long Middle School who assists him in ensuring student success, engagement, and on-time assignment completion.

“The facilitator is also a really important piece in the puzzle so that the kids can be successful, cause she’s really actively monitoring that the kids do what they’re supposed to do,” Cardenas said.

Furthermore, PLI online classes are no different than the other classes students go to during their day at school. The staff follows the school’s bell schedule, grading policy, and attend parent-teacher conferences.

“The best part I think is the consistency in which we know that we can help students on a daily basis because the teachers are readily available at the time of class,” Cardenas said. “With Proximity Learning we can ensure consistency of the program, because I think even if the regular teacher is not available, there’s going to be someone who is going to teach sign language.”

Due to the RFP and PLI’s work with J.L. Long Middle School, Dallas Independent School District will be expanding PLI’s services to J.L. Long’s feeder school, Woodrow Wilson High School, to continue providing Dallas students with engaging, real time, live online instruction.

In addition to its existing annual awards, the event will introduce the Becky Burress Unsung Heroes Award, which was created to honor the life, service and passion of the late Becky Burress. Burress will be the inaugural recipient of the award, presented posthumously. She was the first paid employee of UCA and most recently the administrative director for the North East Regional Urgent Care Association (NERUCA) before her death in July of this year.

“Becky Burress was a dedicated and beloved leader for the urgent care industry,” said Laurel Stoimenoff, CEO of UCA. “She was always the first person to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of others. The award will be a permanent tribute to her career contributions and the essential efforts of so many dedicated professionals in our industry.”

  • Outstanding Achievement Award – David Stern, MD, CEO of Experity, one of the founding members of UCA and an active member of the Urgent Care Foundation Board from Belvidere, Ill., will be rewarded for his impact on the industry. Dr. Stern created an urgent care-specific electronic medical records (EMR) and practice management software company, Practice Velocity, which recently merged with DocuTAP to join forces and improve technologies available to urgent care providers.

My Favorite Sex Toy of 2019!


DENVER (PRWEB)

IOBA Toys, a Denver-based startup founded by husband and wife entrepreneurs Martin Cirillo-Schmidt and Francesca Cirillo today is releasing OhMyG, a super silent G-spot stimulator that allows women to focus completely on the most beautiful and intimate pastime in the world, and just in time for the holidays. OhMyG is proven to produce a noiseless natural motion through an inventive pulsating pleasure “pearl” massager that replicates a come-hither motion that enables women to experience pure magic. The beautifully, stylish, yet ergonomically designed toy enables women to reach and achieve immense sexual satisfaction within minutes. OhMyG is sold only through IOBA Toys and normally retails for $159 but is offering a 20 percent Christmas promotion discount through December 21, 2019.

Nadia Declares: “My Favorite Sex Toy of 2019!”

Deemed “My Favorite Sex Toy of 2019,” by YouTube host of Nadia Bokody of “Nadia’s Sex Talk,” she reports OhMyG as being the best toy she has ever experienced from any other sex toy. Ever!

Drea & Ronnie Rave: “OhMyG Really Nails it!”

Drea & Ronnie, self-proclaimed queer adventurers who are Instagram influencers said of OhMyG, “I feel like for the last couple of years a lot of toys have been trying to create the come-hither motion, but OhMyG is the first one that really nails it.” In addition to rating it an “A+” they described their experience using OhMyG as providng a “very unique G-spot experience.” Watch full review.

Designed to Please

Francesca explained how she always thought that there must be a better way to design pleasure devices rather than the rattling, screeching, toys too often found today. “But my husband Martin picked up on the idea and made it his personal challenge to come up with a solution. I am delighted to be able to share it with women of every variety, the LGBTQ community; as well as their husbands, partners and friends.”

According to IOBA Toys co-founder Martin Cirillo-Schmidt, the technology assimilated within the OhMyG products was derived after carefully researching women’s anatomy and fully understanding their erogenous zones and pleasure centers. “Achieving a super silent toy that also perfectly stimulates the G-spot was very important for us to create, and necessary to help women to achieve help them achieve absolute relaxation and pleasure, while eliminating noisy distractions.”
