Built by Educators for Educators
Our partnership directors are past superintendents, principals and teachers who understand the harm that long-term vacancies can have on students.
Certified Teachers in Hawaii

Hawaii educators looking to teach online can teach in our partner schools across the country over livestreamed video. If you have a standard or professional license in Hawaii, Proximity Learning can support you through the license reciprocity process to work in states where this is required.

Teaching online gives teachers flexibility in their careers, better work/life balance, and the ability to pursue other passions.

Proximity Learning teachers are not only certified, background checked, and experienced, but they're also dynamic, engaging, and caring. Learn more about our online teaching jobs in Hawaii.

Teacher Shortage in Hawaii

Hawaii has a dire teacher shortage as it struggles to hire and retain teachers. The Hawaii State Teachers Association states, “More than 60,000 keiki are not taught by a Hawaii Qualified Teacher each year. During the 2018–19 school year, Hawaii classrooms had more than 1,000 emergency hires and long-term substitutes to cover vacancies because our teacher shortage is so severe."

In April 2021, Frontline Education surveyed 1,200 district leaders to discover that two out of three respondents reported having teacher shortages in their schools. This is a record high since launching the survey in 2015.
