Addressing the Oklahoma 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.
Oklahoma educators looking to teach online can teach in our partner schools across the country over live streamed video. If you have a standard or professional license in Oklahoma, 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 Oklahoma.
Teacher Shortage in Oklahoma
Oklahoma’s teacher shortage has forced emergency hiring practices that place underqualified teachers into the classroom. However, underqualified teachers mean that students are not getting the education they deserve despite the position being filled. “Nearly 75 percent of districts that responded to the fourth annual OSSBA survey said they expect to rely more heavily on emergency-certified teachers this school year – a 10 percent jump compared to last year.“ With 55% percent of districts expecting an increase in student body and 68% of superintendents reporting a worsening teacher shortage, Oklahoma is facing a worsening crisis. The Oklahoma State School Boards Association states, "Oklahoma schools reported 1,019 teaching vacancies as the 2022-2023 school year began even as they are on pace to employ record numbers of emergency certified teachers and plan to expand the use of adjunct instructors. The vacancy number is the highest in the nine-year history of the survey."
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."
