Addressing the Iowa 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.
Iowa educators looking to teach online can teach in our partner schools across the country over live streamed video. If you have a standard or professional license in Iowa, Proximity Learning can support you through the license reciprocity process to work in states where this is required.
Working as a teacher for Proximity Learning has helped teachers find better work/life balance, teach to students across the county, and improve technological skills.
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 Iowa.
Teacher Shortage in Iowa
Iowa’s teacher shortage is caused by a lack of qualified candidates applying to fill vacancies. Students are experiencing a decline in the overall quality of their education due to the teacher shortage. Teachers are retiring early and fewer college students are studying education to replace them. When positions are unfilled, long-term substitutes and underqualified instructors are placed in classrooms. According to We Are Iowa, “Iowa is still facing an educator shortage. Currently, the Iowa Department of Education has more than 20 subjects currently experiencing teacher shortages.” These subjects range from math and science to world languages and computer science.
Iowa has an estimated 1,000 teacher vacancies in the 201-22 school year. 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."
