The Proximity Learning Difference
Live, Synchronous Instruction
Certified teachers are livestreamed directly into your classrooms. Each course is designed to align with your school’s bell schedule, LMS, and curriculum standards, so your students get the right instruction at the right time. Unlike short-term fixes like long-term substitutes, this approach keeps learning consistent and effective.
We livestream our certified virtual teachers right into your district classroom. Your dedicated team works with your district to fit with your school’s bell schedule and other needs.
Built by Educators, for Educators
Our partnership directors include former superintendents, principals, and experienced teachers who know firsthand how vacancies impact students. They understand the urgency created by the educator shortage and help districts implement solutions that prioritize learning and stability.

Teacher Shortage in Colorado
The Colorado teacher shortage is creating serious challenges for districts, leaving gaps in instruction that impact student achievement. According to the Colorado Department of Education, “Of the 6,911 teaching positions to hire, 635 (9%) remained unfilled for the school year and 1,756 (25%) were filled through a shortage mechanism.” Shortage mechanisms include uncertified hires and long-term substitutes.
When vacancies are filled this way, students miss the consistent instruction they need. This aligns with national data from the Teacher Shortage report, estimating over 49,000 unfilled teacher positions across the United States. Without immediate action, more low-income students and rural communities will continue to feel the impact.
