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

Oregon districts are only matched with a certified, TSPC-compliant teacher within days of signing up. Proximity Learning's staffing model fits your bell schedule and open positions, so you don't have to rely on emergency hires or shorten the school week.

Are Proximity Learning teachers licensed to meet Oregon TSPC requirements?

Yes. Every teacher Proximity Learning places in Oregon holds licensure meeting Oregon Teacher Standards and Practices Commission (TSPC) standards. For teachers licensed in other states, Proximity Learning supports the interstate reciprocity process to ensure full compliance before any placement. No loosened certification requirements, no provisional workarounds.

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

Instruction is always live. Every Proximity Learning teacher is streamed directly into your classroom in real time, following your school's bell schedule and teaching your students each class period. There are no pre-recorded videos or asynchronous coursework. A certified teacher is present and teaching five days a week.

Can Proximity Learning help Oregon districts restore a five-day school week?

Yes. If your district switched to a four-day week because of staffing gaps, Proximity Learning can place certified teachers in those open positions. Placements happen within days, and every teacher has full TSPC licensure from the start.

Can Proximity Learning fill Oregon's special education vacancies?

Yes. Special education is one of the hardest roles to license and fill in Oregon. Proximity Learning can place certified SPED case managers, virtual OTs, SLPs, and school psychologists, all credentialed to meet TSPC and federal IDEA requirements, within days of your district reaching out.

Oregon Districts Are Going to Four-Day Weeks and Hiring Custodians to Cover Classrooms

Oregon’s teacher shortage has pushed districts past conventional solutions. During the 2023–24 school year, districts responded to ongoing staff shortages by moving to four-day weeks, lowering certification standards, and asking custodians and lunchroom staff to cover classrooms. Without qualified teachers, students fall further behind each year. In districts across the state, the shortage has become a bigger problem that quick fixes can’t solve.

Why Virtual Hiring Works in Oregon

Traditional recruiting in Oregon is tough because districts are lowering certification standards just to fill positions. TSPC licensure rules also make it harder to hire from out of state, even when good candidates are interested. Proximity Learning solves both problems by placing fully licensed, TSPC-compliant teachers into classrooms through live video. There’s no need for relocation, relaxed standards, or shortened school weeks.
