Mississippi REACH Remote Teaching Program is an innovative statewide initiative designed to address critical teacher shortages while preserving the structure and human connection of traditional classrooms. Through live, synchronous instruction delivered directly into school buildings, Mississippi REACH connects certified educators with students in multiple districts at the same time, ensuring access to high-quality teaching in core subject areas. Students remain on campus, supported by on-site facilitators, while remote teachers engage with them in real time using advanced instructional technology. By combining proven classroom practices with modern tools, Mississippi REACH expands instructional capacity, strengthens the educator pipeline, and provides districts—especially rural and high-need communities—with a sustainable solution to staffing challenges without sacrificing instructional quality.
