American Sign Language (ASL) is the third most used language in the United States. Your district shouldn’t have to wait months to find a certified teacher to fill a vacancy.

ASL vacancies carry unique consequences. When Deaf or Hard of Hearing students lose a qualified ASL teacher, they lose instruction in their primary language. Recognized in 40+ states and the third most used language in the U.S., ASL is in high demand with very few certified Kโ12 teachers available to fill it.
Proximity Learning places state-certified ASL teachers ready to serve Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and hearing students taking ASL for a language requirement.
Every Proximity Learning ASL teacher holds state certification in American Sign Language instruction or Deaf education, verified against your state’s requirements before placement.
Proximity Learning ASL teachers are livestreamed into your classroom every period, delivering live, fluent instruction that a recording or non-fluent substitute cannot provide.
Teachers follow your existing ASL program, whether ASLTA standards, district curriculum, or AP-level frameworks, or use Proximity Learning’s own standards-aligned ASL curriculum.
A facilitator stays in the classroom every period, supporting the livestreamed ASL teacher and providing the in-person presence students need.

Proximity Learning has placed certified teachers in over 3,000 K-12 classrooms across the United States.
The questions administrators and special education directors raise when evaluating Proximity Learning for an ASL vacancy.
Yes. Every teacher is certified in American Sign Language instruction or Deaf education and is checked against your state’s requirements before placement. Certification is confirmed before the first class, so your district stays in compliance whether the position is for a world language program, a Deaf education classroom, or both.
Most placements happen within days of a district signing up for our program. ASL is a specialized credential, so demand for certified teachers is growing, but availability varies by location and school type. This means the usual recruiting pool is limited for many districts. Proximity Learning’s national network helps overcome this challenge.
Your Proximity Learning teacher is livestreamed into the classroom every period, with a clear view of their hands, face, and signing space. The classroom setup ensures the right visual field for ASL. Students interact with a certified teacher in real time by asking questions, practicing vocabulary, and getting immediate feedback in ASL.
Yes. Proximity Learning considers your student population, course level, and classroom needs when placing a teacher. Whether your class includes Deaf and Hard of Hearing students who use ASL as their primary language, hearing students taking ASL as an elective, or a mix, we make sure the match is a good fit before instruction starts.
Yes. Proximity Learning places teachers for all ASL course levels, from introductory to advanced and dual-enrollment classes. As more colleges and universities accept ASL for language requirements, it’s more important than ever for districts to offer a full course sequence from Level I to advanced.
