🎬 That's a wrap! What an incredible few days at AASPA 2024... Proximity Learning had the opportunity to connect with district leaders and education innovators who are deeply committed to solving the teacher shortage and improving student outcomes across the country. The energy at AASPA was unmatched, with discussions centered around creative solutions for staffing gaps, equity in education, and the growing role of virtual learning. Additionally, Evan Erdberg had the opportunity to talk to fans of his book published earlier this year, #TeachersServeToo and Dr. Michael Robinson led a panel of influential educators in the field. Our team walked away inspired by the shared vision to transform classrooms, whether they’re brick-and-mortar or virtual, and we’re eager to continue building these vital partnerships. It’s always rewarding to connect with professionals who are passionate about the future of education. Thank you, AASPA, for hosting such a meaningful event and fostering dialogue that drives change. Until next year! 🙌 #AASPA2024 #CreateConnections #Seattle #EducationMatters #TeacherShortageSolutions #VirtualLearning #EducationInnovation

Connecting all learners with the expert teachers they deserve.
About us
Proximity Learning partners with districts to solve teacher vacancies by livestreaming certified teachers, from all over the country, into physical classrooms for all subjects. Having already served over 150 districts and 45,000 students, Proximity Learning is committed to connecting all learners with the expert teachers they deserve. Proximity Learning facilitates district course subject needs by providing live, real-time, teacher-led instruction through video conferencing software, ensuring students do not miss out on valuable math, world language, SPED, science, or elective subjects. Each student is given access to instruction through a laptop where they can view and interact with their teacher; students and instructors communicate with each other in real-time via webcam and via text-chat. Proximity Learning teachers are the most important part of closely approximating the experience of a traditional brick and mortar classroom setting - we value those with a passion for teaching, the ability to be autonomous, and a strong drive to connect a diverse group of students across the United States with the quality teachers they deserve. Our teachers work from home and get paid a competitive salary based on experience. Additionally, we offer growth opportunities and bonuses based on student success. If that sounds like something you’d like to be part of, we’d love to hear from you about our current open positions. Avoid scams! If you're interested in joining PLI, we will always ask you to apply through our applicant dashboard in PLI Connect! All candidates can apply through our applicant dashboard at https://proxlearn.pliconnect.com/. Rest assured, we'll only consider candidates who have completed an application through this website, and have undergone a virtual face to face interview. Any communication regarding your application will come from an email address ending in @proxlearn.com. Our IT team works extremely hard to make sure everyone's data is secure.

🎉 Big News! Proximity Learning has launched its customized Special Education Case Management services, providing a vital solution during this nationwide shortage of special education instructors. With over 7 million students relying on Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), the role of case managers is indispensable. These professionals ensure students receive the services outlined in their IEPs, from building custom learning plans to monitoring progress and coordinating with parents and administrators. Our new services go beyond just filling the staffing gap—they provide schools with certified case managers who craft personalized academic goals, offer accommodations, and compile assessment data to ensure students thrive academically. At a time when 39 states report special education teacher shortages, Proximity Learning is stepping in to make sure no student is left behind. Let’s continue to transform education—one student, one district at a time. 🌟 Learn more about our special education solutions: https://lnkd.in/g7A3sWJm #SpecialEducation #IEP #SPEDCaseMgmt #VirtualLearning #ProximityLearning

Indigenous Peoples' Day is a moment to educate ourselves, our students, and our communities about the diverse cultures, histories, and contributions of Native peoples across the Americas. It's important to use this day to deepen our understanding of Indigenous histories that are often left out of traditional textbooks. Incorporating Native perspectives into lessons—whether through storytelling, art, primary sources, or historical events—can foster a greater appreciation for the rich cultural heritage and ongoing contributions of Indigenous peoples. This day also offers an excellent chance to teach about the importance of land acknowledgment, sovereignty, and the preservation of Native languages and traditions. Indigenous Peoples' Day reminds us that education is a powerful tool for honoring diversity, promoting equity, and fostering cultural respect. #IndigenousPeoplesDay #CulturalAwareness #EquityInEducation #InclusiveLearning #NativeVoices #DiversityInEducation #DEI
