New Mexico’s teacher shortage is growing faster than ever. In just one year, vacancies nearly doubled to 751, with the biggest gaps in elementary and special education. This leaves students across Albuquerque, Las Cruces, and rural areas without the qualified teachers they deserve. Underqualified placements make it difficult to ensure quality education and compliance across all classrooms.
Finding certified instructors in New Mexico is challenging. The local job market is stretched thin, vacancies are growing faster than new teachers can be trained, and NMPED licensure rules slow down the hiring process. Proximity Learning solves these issues by livestreaming certified, NMPED-compliant teachers into classrooms anywhere in the state, so there are no delays or location barriers.
All Proximity Learning teachers in New Mexico are certified to meet NMPED standards. They cover core subjects, world languages, electives, and special education.
