Elective courses help students stay engaged with school. If a vacancy goes unfilled, districts risk losing not only a class but also the students most likely to disengage.

When staffing is limited, elective positions are left open first and filled last.When staffing is limited, elective positions are left open first and filled last. Yet nearly half of high school dropouts cited uninteresting classes as their primary reason for leaving, and nearly 70% reported feeling unmotivated. For students at risk of disengaging, electives are often the classes that keep them connected to school.
Proximity Learning places certified elective teachers across music, art, PE, health, drama, computer science, and career and technical education.
Every Proximity Learning elective teacher holds state certification in their subject area, verified against your state’s licensure requirements before the first class.
A Proximity Learning elective teacher is livestreamed into your classroom every period, leading real lessons rather than supervising students through a vacancy.
Teachers follow your existing elective curriculum, CTE program, or state-approved materials, or use Proximity Learning’s own standards-aligned curriculum as a ready-made option.
A facilitator stays in the classroom every period to support the livestreamed teacher, help with hands-on parts of the lesson, and keep the classroom organized from start to finish.
How it works
Elective vacancies rarely get the urgency they deserve inside a district’s staffing process. Proximity Learning is built to close them before students feel the gap.
Share the elective subject, grade level, and bell schedule, and a Proximity Learning specialist will take care of the rest.
Proximity Learning matches you with a teacher who is certified in the specific elective, not just someone with a general teaching credential.
The livestream equipment is installed in your classroom before the first day.
Your students will have a certified elective teacher leading live lessons according to your bell schedule.
Why Proximity Learning
Elective vacancies are some of the most challenging staffing issues for districts. Proximity Learning’s national network of certified teachers is ready to meet these needs quickly.
Every state reported teacher shortages in 2024-25, with CTE among the hardest hit. Proximity Learning places certified elective teachers within days.
For 16+ years, Proximity Learning has trained and placed certified teachers for live virtual instruction across electives and every grade level.
Proximity Learning has staffed 3,000+ Kโ12 classrooms nationwide, filling elective and core subject vacancies at every grade level with equal confidence.
The questions curriculum directors and principals raise when evaluating Proximity Learning for an elective vacancy.
Yes. Proximity Learning does not place generalists in specialist positions. Every teacher holds state certification in the elective subject they teach โ whether that is art, music, PE, health, drama, CTE, computer science, or another course โ and is verified against your state’s requirements before placement.
Most placements happen within days of a district signing on. Share the course, grade level, and bell schedule, and Proximity Learning handles the match. With 64% of public schools reporting a lack of qualified candidates and 62% citing too few applicants as their top vacancy challenges entering the 2024โ25 school year, waiting on a traditional recruiting cycle is rarely a viable option for elective roles.
Yes, with the right setup. Your Proximity Learning teacher is livestreamed into the classroom during every scheduled period, present and leading live instruction. The facilitator on-site manages hands-on components, materials, and classroom flow so the teacher can focus on instruction rather than room management.
Proximity Learning staffs across the full range of K-12 elective offerings, including career and technical education, health, physical education, drama, journalism, computer science, and others. Course level, subject area, and instructional context are all accounted for during the placement match.
Proximity Learning is designed to scale. Whether a district needs one elective covered or several positions filled across different subjects, the placement process is the same: a certified teacher matched to each specific course, placed within days of a vacancy opening, live from the first period of instruction.
