Addressing the Alabama Teacher Shortage
A Learning Model Built for Student Success
Proximity Learning uses interactive live instruction to make sure that students in your district are getting the 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.
Alabama educators looking to teach online can provide live streamed instruction to our partner schools across the country. If you have a standard or professional license in Alabama, Proximity Learning can support you through the license reciprocity process to work in states where this is required.
Teaching online gives teachers flexibility in their careers, better work/life balance, and the ability to pursue other passions.
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 Alabama.
Teacher Shortage in Alabama
The Alabama teacher shortage affects the quality of education students receive. The Alabama State Superintendent explains that “More than 1,700 teachers are teaching the core subjects of math, science, history, and social studies in grades 7 through 12 without the proper certifications." About 30% of teachers have no background in the subject they are teaching. Students deserve expert teachers.
Ultimately, the most recent teacher shortage report shows 1,343 teacher vacancies in the 2022-23 school year plus 3,254 under-qualified teachers in Alabama. A report from Alabama's Education Lab states, “In the fall of 2022, Alabama schools reported more than 1,500 teacher positions had gone unfilled at the start of the school year”. The shortage of teachers is leading to larger class sizes, reducing one-on-one teaching opportunities. 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."
