The Proximity Learning Difference
Live, Synchronous Instruction
Our certified teachers are livestreamed directly into your district’s classrooms. Each lesson aligns with your school’s bell schedule, ensuring seamless integration into the school system. This model supports districts struggling to hire teachers and fill open teaching positions, especially in special education, math, and other high-need areas.
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 leadership team is made up of former school administrators, principals, and teachers who understand the difficulties created by long-term vacancies. They’ve seen how the Vermont teacher shortage affects students, rural schools, and districts, and they’re dedicated to helping leaders find sustainable solutions that deliver qualified, experienced educators to every classroom.
Our partnership directors are past superintendents, principals and teachers who understand the harm that long-term vacancies can have on students.
Certified teachers with a standard or professional license in Vermont can teach live in school districts across the country through synchronous instruction. Proximity Learning supports reciprocity through the Vermont Agency of Education, helping certified educators teach in other states while maintaining compliance and security.
Virtual teaching positions offer experienced teachers the opportunity to live as digital nomads and expand their careers as they test their creativity, improve their use of technology, and reach students nationwide. Our teachers are certified, background-checked, and passionate about delivering engaging instruction.

Teacher Shortage in Vermont
The Vermont teacher shortage continues to challenge school districts and public schools across the state, especially in rural areas. According to a report from Vermont Public Education, Vermont now has 10% fewer educators than before the pandemic – the biggest drop in the country, save Alaska. The latest data from the U.S. Department of Education shows the shortage worsening in critical fields like special education and math, leaving rural schools in the Northeast Kingdom struggling to maintain qualified teachers in every class.
The shortage is part of a larger national teacher shortage, with teacher vacancies across the country exceeding 49,000 according to the latest Teacher Shortage report.
In Vermont, districts in the Northeast Kingdom and beyond need qualified teachers and long-term support to rebuild the teacher workforce over the next decade. The Vermont Agency of Education and the Vermont Rural Education Collaborative continue to support initiatives such as the North Country Supervisory Union’s Teacher Registered Apprenticeship Program, which allows student teachers to gain classroom experience and earn their initial teacher licensure under the mentorship of experienced teachers.
