Are Proximity Learning's teachers certified to meet Vermont Agency of Education licensing requirements?

Yes. Every teacher we place in a Vermont district is verified against the AOE licensing standards before placement, so your district never has to rely on provisional or emergency credentials just to keep a classroom covered. We also evaluate all teachers against NVTA standards for added quality assurance.

How does virtual teacher placement work for Vermont's rural supervisory unions?

Virtual hiring is particularly well-suited for Vermont's rural districts, where local certified candidate pools are thinnest. Proximity Learning removes the geographic barrier entirely, connecting your supervisory union to certified teachers anywhere in the country who meet AOE requirements, without requiring those teachers to relocate to Vermont's challenging housing market.

Can Proximity Learning help Vermont districts address their most acute shortage areas, specifically special education and math?

Yes. SPED and math are two of the areas where our nationwide network runs deepest. Whether your district needs a certified math teacher for a Burlington high school or a SPED case manager for a rural elementary school, we have certified specialists ready to step in fast.

How does Proximity Learning's virtual instruction model work within Vermont's existing school schedules?

Every teacher we place aligns to your district's existing bell schedule, curriculum, and instructional pacing, no matter the scheduling format. We can also help you build a custom curriculum if needed. Vermont districts don't need to change how they operate to implement Proximity Learning. We work within your existing structure.

Can Proximity Learning help Vermont districts that are currently relying on teachers with temporary or provisional licenses?

Absolutely. If your Vermont district is currently covering classrooms with provisionally licensed staff, Proximity Learning places fully certified teachers who meet Vermont AOE standards. We're here to give your district a more reliable, compliant solution while you work toward permanent hires through the state's licensure pathways.

Vermont Has Lost 10% of Its Teachers — and It's Getting Worse

The numbers tell a difficult story. Statewide turnover hit 31% in 2024, and roughly 7% of Vermont’s teachers are currently working on temporary licenses, a figure that has doubled in five years. From Burlington to Rutland, Ocean County, and beyond, administrators are making difficult hiring decisions just to keep classrooms open. Proximity Learning gives Vermont districts a better option.

Why Virtual Hiring Works in Vermont

For Vermont districts outside Burlington and Rutland, the local certified teacher pool has never been thinner. Housing shortages, lower pay relative to neighboring states, and declining enrollment in teacher preparation programs have compounded the crisis year after year. Virtual hiring with Proximity Learning gives Vermont districts access to a nationwide network of certified teachers who meet AOE licensing standards — without requiring relocation.
