Certified Teachers in North Carolina

North Carolina 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 North Carolina, Proximity Learning can support you through the license reciprocity process to work in states where this is required.

Virtual teaching has allowed teachers to continue their passion for teaching, make a difference in student lives or pursue other interests.

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 North Carolina.

Teacher Shortage in North Carolina

North Carolina is facing a teacher shortage, especially in elementary and secondary classes. The Public School Forum of North Carolina states, “7,115 teachers out of the 94,672 teachers employed during the 2018-19 school year are no longer employed in North Carolina public schools, resulting in a statewide attrition rate of 7.5%. In 2020, this number increased due to the pandemic and legislation which removed medicaid benefits from retiring teachers.” Ultimately, the most recent teacher shortage report shows 1,698 teacher vacancies plus 14,822 under-qualified teachers in North Carolina during the 2021-22 school year.

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.
