Addressing the Louisiana Teacher Shortage
A Learning Model Built for Student Success
Proximity Learning uses its Enriched Live Instruction Model (ELIM) to make sure that students in your district are getting that best instruction possible. The goal of ELIM is to stimulate a classroom environment through ALWAYS live instruction from a teacher via streaming video.
The Proximity Learning Difference
Live, Synchronous Instruction
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 are past superintendents, principals and teachers who understand the harm that long-term vacancies can have on students.
Louisiana 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 Louisiana, 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 Louisiana.
Teacher shortage in Louisiana
"Like many states, we do have a shortage of teachers in specific subject areas and certain schools and geographies," said Hannah Dietsch, assistant state superintendent of education for talent in the state Department of Education. Ultimately, the most recent teacher shortage report shows 2,520 teacher vacancies plus 17,151 under-qualified teachers in Louisiana during the 2020-21 school year.
“One possible solution is to make it more lucrative for retired teachers to resume their duties,” said state Rep. Larry Bagley, R-Stonewall, a certified elementary school teacher himself. “When they retire and leave, replacing them is problematic at best.”
Teacher Shortage reports claim, "Based on news and state reports, we estimate that there are at least 55,000 vacant teacher positions in the United States."
