Addressing the Ohio Teacher Shortage
A Learning Model Built for Student Success
The Ohio teacher shortage has made it harder for school districts to provide consistent, high-quality instruction. Proximity Learning helps districts keep classrooms engaged by livestreaming certified teachers directly into schools. Through interactive instruction, students learn while districts fill critical teaching positions without delay.
Proximity Learning uses interactive live instruction to make sure that students in your district are getting the best instruction possible. The goal of ELIM is to stimulate a classroom environment through ALWAYS live instruction from a teacher via streaming video.

Teacher shortage in Ohio
The Ohio Department of Education reports a steady decline in teacher preparation programs and a rise in teacher vacancies across public schools statewide. As fewer candidates pursue bachelor’s degrees in teaching and retirements increase, many districts, especially in rural and urban communities, are struggling to keep classrooms staffed.
In some areas, more than 10% of teaching positions are filled by teachers who are not certified. The most recent Teacher Shortage report claims that there are around 49,000 vacant teacher positions in the United States.
The shortage spans special education, science, and math, leaving many schools without qualified educators. Even new teachers entering the profession face challenges as workloads grow and pay struggles to keep pace with inflation. To make teaching an attractive profession again, leaders and institutions across the state are focusing on teacher certification, recruitment, and stronger support systems.
