Elevate K-12 Expands in Iowa As It Bring Its High-Quality LIVE teaching to More Schools around the United States

Leave a comment


The synchronous LIVE teaching company is growing its presence as it works towards improving educational outcomes for students across the country

DES MOINES, Iowa, Oct. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Elevate K-12, the leading provider of high-quality synchronous LIVE teaching for K-12 classrooms in the United States, is expanding its presence in Iowa with 15 newly signed districts. The expansion brings the innovative company to a total of more than 500 school districts across the United States.

“We couldn’t be happier to be expanding Elevate K-12 in Iowa,” said Shaily Baranwal, Elevate K-12’s Founder and CEO. “Through partnerships with districts across the country, Elevate K-12 has been able to help alleviate the pains caused by the teacher shortage. 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 Iowa 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, and more.

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 Iowa.”

About Elevate K-12
Elevate K-12 is a Chicago-based instructional services company that brings high-quality live-streamed teaching to K-12 classrooms.

Dice for Dungeons and Dragons use advanced math to produce results along a curve

Leave a comment


Creating a single die that returns the same results as rolling multiple dice is extremely complicated: rolling multiple dice returns results along a curve. A normal 4-sided-die, or D4, has the same 25% chance to land on any number, where as rolling 2d4 will return a range from 2–8 where 5 appears 25% of the time and 2 or 8 only 6.25%.

“We thought this was going to be pretty easy, but when we started looking for formulas, or physics engines, to determine what shape to use we realized this math didn’t exist.” Says Al McWilliams, Gyld’s Co-Founder. “We tried a bunch of different solutions, but each created more issues than they solved—including dice that would need to be the size of Michigan Stadium.”

James found a solution, “there is some research around how the specific dimensions of a die correlate to the probability for it to land on each face. After brushing up on my spherical trigonometry I was able to write a program that helped brute-force our solution.”

Gordie Garwood, Co-Founder, went on to say “Once we had the 3D models generated from the program, we had a friend print them. Then we rolled the dice 6,000+ times each to check the math, and it works!”

The resulting four irregular polyhedrons represent new shapes that when constructed of homogeneous material will land on each side in the prescribed ratio along a standard distribution curve. Gyld’s healing potion dice have patents pending as Gyld develops an entire line of single-but-many dice for ultra-specific purposes in Dungeons and Dragons.

Gyld is launching a Kickstarter to fund the molds and development of the first run of dice.
