Class Proxima AI for Classroom

CLASS PROXIMA

AI-Powered Quality Assessment 
For Early Learning Classrooms

INTERACTIONS

Are At The Heart Of Early Learning

Class Proxima is software that uses AI to automatically capture and analyze teacher-student interactions using video data from classroom cameras. Because video is always running, it results in the most complete measure of quality of care, nurturing, safety, and education of children under 6.

HOW CLASS PROXIMA WORKS

Picture
​Schools we serve have existing camera systems in classrooms.
Picture
Our software uses AI and machine learning to analyze the vIdeo.
Picture
We deliver essential information on quality with data and video clips.

WHY IT'S BETTER

​Get A Complete Picture
  • Until now, we’ve only been using a small sliver of the information children show us.
  • Our dependency is on teachers, administrators, and regulators to “see” a complete picture of the events inside ECE classrooms.​
  • ​This is a task done to the best of their ability, but falls short in comparison to the machine learning approach we’ve developed. ​
Children Are CompleX
No person has the bandwidth to observe and analyze all the complexities that come with one child. For teachers in a classroom of 10, 15, or 25 children this task is impossible. 
​
  • Until now, we've only been able to use a small fraction of the data that children provide us with.
  • It is up to teachers, administrators, and regulators to understand the full picture of what happens in ECE classrooms.
  • However, the bandwidth of individuals falls short in comparison to the machine learning approach that our team has developed.
Data Is the Missing Piece
  • Our platform combines traditional observation assessments, video coaching, and AI-powered analytics to provide unparalleled insights into teaching practices and child development.
  • By constantly recording video, our data is the most accurate measure of what is happening in the classroom. ​
TRansform PEdagogy with Data Science
  • Our multidisciplinary team means computer scientists are studying early childhood pedagogical theory and educators are learning how to apply data science.
  • The collaboration results in a new kind of science that will transform early learning.

A Data Engine So That Students, Teachers, And Schools Thrive

Class Proxima is growing to be the premiere data purveyor for global early childhood education. Our models compile data analysis and supporting video clips to track the progress of teachers, schools, and even entire districts. For the first time ever, strategic decisions in early childhood education will be data-informed.

FOR TEACHERS & SCHOOLS

Sustained Professional Development


Class Proxima is a unique method of teacher professional development that provides continuous coaching over time.  Studies have demonstrated that coaching based on video feedback can lead to significant improvements in outcomes. However, traditional video-based coaching only captures a small fraction of the classroom experience, as videos are manually selected for review by observers.​
Picture
In contrast, our platform captures everything that happens inside the classroom, generating a large volume of unbiased video data that is consistently and automatically recorded. Our data analysis enables teachers to reflect on their teaching practices and make adjustments, a trusted method that makes a positive impact on learning outcomes.
Picture
We understand the challenges that administrators of early childhood schools encounter.  Our technology offers access to real-time data and analytics on teaching practices and child development, allowing you to make informed decisions that can have a positive effect on your schools' reputation and brand image.

FOR FAMILIES

The First And Only Method Of Measuring What Happens In Preschool Classrooms


Ninety percent of a child’s brain is developed by the time she is 5. It is the single most important  time of cognitive, social and emotional development in a child’s life. 
​

The decisions families make in early learning have broad implications and are fraught with emotion. Class Proxima exists to provide families with a reliable, consistent, real-time method of assessing whether a child’s needs are met effectively during these critical years.

FOR POLICY MAKERS

Impact Generations with Life-Changing Outcomes


The care and education of young children is critical to the long-term success of every society. Our technology provides policymakers with the data they need to make informed decisions about early education policy and investment. 
Increase Impact of ECE Investment
Our technology can change the way the local policy-makers rate childcare quality, with huge implications on subsidy spending and labor economics.

A Supportive Community for Teachers
Teachers play a critical role in society and they need to be able to perform their duties without feeling like they are constantly under fire or unappreciated.

Narrow the Achievement Gap
Unconscious biases in classrooms with underrepresented students are a hopeful place to begin closing the achievement gap in the U.S., during the most impressionable and important years. ​
