How quickly can Proximity Learning place a credentialed teacher in a California classroom?

Most California districts are matched with a CTC-credentialed teacher within days of signing up. Proximity Learning's staffing model fits your bell schedule and open positions, so you do not have to rely on long recruiting processes or provisional licenses.

Are Proximity Learning teachers credentialed to meet California Commission on Teacher Credentialing requirements?

Yes. Every Proximity Learning instructor placed in California meets CTC standards. For teachers licensed in other states, we help with the CTC reciprocity process to ensure full compliance before placement, so there are no temporary workarounds.

Is Proximity Learning's instruction live, or are lessons pre-recorded?

Instruction is always live. Every Proximity Learning teacher teaches your students in real time, following your school's bell schedule. There are no pre-recorded videos or asynchronous lessons. Your students receive a credentialed teacher, present and qualified every day.

Can Proximity Learning fill special education vacancies in California?

Yes. Proximity Learning places certified SPED case managers, virtual OTs, SLPs, and school psychologists, all credentialed to meet CTC and federal IDEA requirements. Given how difficult these roles are to credential and fill in California, placing qualified SPED specialists quickly is one of the most common reasons districts reach out.

Does a partnership with Proximity Learning require a long-term contract?

No. California districts can bring in credentialed teachers for a semester, a full school year, or longer and scale the partnership as needs change, without annual contract obligations or long-term financial commitments built in from the start.

27,000 Non-Certified Teachers Filling California’s Classrooms Right Now

California’s teacher shortage is now a credentialing crisis affecting classrooms every day. The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing reports that teachers with substandard credentials increased from 4,724 to 13,912 between 2012 and 2019. Across Los Angeles, San Diego, Fresno, and other districts, students are missing out on instruction because provisional licensing has not solved the problem.

Why Virtual Hiring Works in California

Hiring credentialed teachers in California is challenging because the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) has strict requirements that often exclude qualified out-of-state candidates. In dense areas like Los Angeles and San Diego, competition for licensed teachers is high. Proximity Learning solves these problems by placing CTC-compliant teachers into your classrooms through live video, removing the need for relocation, long searches, or temporary solutions.
