How quickly can Proximity Learning place a certified teacher in a Florida classroom?

Most Florida districts are matched with a certified, FDOE-compliant teacher within days of signing on. Proximity Learning's staffing model is built around your bell schedule and open positions, not a months-long recruiting cycle that leaves critical shortage subjects uncovered in the meantime.

Are Proximity Learning teachers certified to meet Florida Department of Education requirements?

Yes. Every teacher Proximity Learning places in Florida holds certification meeting FDOE standards. For teachers licensed in other states, Proximity Learning supports the interstate reciprocity process to ensure full compliance before any placement.

Is Proximity Learning's instruction live, or are lessons pre-recorded?

Always live. Every Proximity Learning instructor is livestreamed directly into your classroom in real time, on your school's bell schedule, actively teaching your students each class period. No pre-recorded video, no asynchronous coursework. Just a virtual instructor providing immediate feedback and engaging content.

Can Proximity Learning cover Florida's critical shortage subjects like Math and Science?

Yes. Math, Science, English, and Reading are among the FDOE-designated critical shortage areas Proximity Learning fills most frequently. Every teacher placed holds full subject-area certification, not an emergency credential or provisional license.

Does a partnership with Proximity Learning require a long-term contract?

No. Florida districts can bring in certified teachers for a semester, a full school year, or longer, and scale the partnership as needs change, without annual contract obligations or long-term financial commitments.

Thousands of Vacant Teaching Positions in Florida

Florida’s teacher shortage is caused by structural issues, and the problem is getting worse. During the 2022–23 school year, Florida schools counted 5,294 vacancies in Math, Science, English, and Reading, all considered critical shortage areas. Districts from Miami to Tallahassee and beyond are faced with a small hiring pool of certified candidates, leaving students without quality education and principals scrambling to fill gaps.

Why Virtual Hiring Works in Florida

The reality of hiring K–12 teachers in Florida is challenging: competitive salaries fuel ongoing turnover, and critical shortages in core subjects reveal gaps that local hiring cannot fill. Strict FDOE certification requirements further slow the process, especially for out-of-state candidates. Proximity Learning breaks through these barriers by delivering state-certified educators via livestream directly into classrooms. No relocation or endless search, just qualified teachers, ready to teach.
