Our lives have changed fast. Governments have needed to take unprecedented measures to slow the spread of COVID-19. Mass school closures are now a reality and many working parents will be at home with their kids tomorrow. Outschool has worked to prepare for this by first announcing help for schools and teachers on Mar 2, and then a program to offer free live online classes to public school families in need on Mar 13.
For teachers offering classes through Outschool the past few days have been a rollercoaster. We have seen an 11X rise in enrollments as many parents look for online, interactive learning options for their kids. We need help. Our community of just over 1,000 teachers is close to being overwhelmed and we don’t want to turn families away. We are looking for 5,000 new teachers to start offering classes through Outschool in the next 2 weeks.
