Are Proximity Learning teachers licensed to teach in Arkansas?

Yes. Every instructor placed in an Arkansas district holds a valid Arkansas license that meets DESE requirements. Our teachers are already fully licensed.

How quickly can Proximity Learning fill a vacancy in my Arkansas district?

Arkansas districts are matched with a licensed teacher and begin live instruction within days of signing up. Whether you are in Little Rock, Fort Smith, or a rural Delta district, we remove the long hiring process so your classroom stays covered and your students keep learning.

Is this the same as pre-recorded or asynchronous online learning?

No. Proximity Learning teachers offer fully live, real-time instruction. A licensed teacher is livestreamed directly into your classroom and follows your school's bell schedule, while an in-person facilitator supports the room. Students interact with a real teacher during every class period, not a recording.

Does Proximity Learning require an annual contract?

No. Proximity Learning does not require annual contracts. Arkansas districts can hire licensed teachers for a semester, a full school year, or as long as needed, and can adjust the partnership without long-term commitments.

Arkansas's Hardest Vacancies to Fill Are in Rural and High-Need Districts

Arkansas faces its toughest teacher shortages in key subjects including secondary science, math, and foreign languages. And even after an increase in minimum pay, many rural districts still depend on unlicensed educators and waivers to fill their classrooms. Proximity Learning bridges the gap.

Why Virtual Hiring Works in Arkansas

When 20% or more of a district’s teachers are unlicensed or are leaving, Arkansas designates it as high-need. This is a real challenge that is felt most in rural communities and the Delta. Higher pay alone has not solved the shortage and geographical issues. Proximity Learning’s national network can bring fully licensed teachers into these empty classrooms in just days with live, synchronous instruction.
