Some students need extra support along the way.

Live virtual SPED teachers help districts provide meaningful instruction and consistent services.

Because every student deserves to reach the summit.

Strong outcomes do not happen by accident.

They happen when districts and partners work together toward the same goal.

Certified teachers. Live instruction. Flexible support.

Together, we help districts reach the summit.

Some trails require extra support.
Strong SPED programs ensure every student has what they need to succeed. But staffing specialized roles can be one of the biggest challenges districts face. Live virtual SPED teachers help districts provide consistent support without delays.

Teacher shortages. Scheduling challenges. Expanding student needs. But- you don't have to hike it alone. When districts partner with Proximity Learning, we work together to navigate obstacles and reach stronger outcomes. Because the best hikes are the ones taken as a team.

Summer camp works best when everyone shows up.
The same goes for learning.
Live instruction brings everyone back to the campfire.
Real conversations. Real engagement. Real learning.
Because connection is what keeps students on the trail.

A teacher's impact isn't measured by where they sit.
With live instruction, active participation, and daily collaboration, Proximity Learning teachers are a consistent presence in the classroom, helping students stay connected to learning every day.

Great teaching starts with great relationships.

From our support team, to facilitators, to teachers, to district administrators, the communication across teams is critical to success.

Teacher vacancy? Student learning doesn't have to wait.
When districts face staffing challenges, Proximity Learning delivers certified, live teachers who keep classrooms moving forward from day one.
A staffing solution built around student success.

The results speak for themselves.
Districts partnering with Proximity Learning see measurable academic growth through consistent instruction, certified teachers, and proven support systems.
Quality teaching drives student outcomes.

Students can't learn from a blank screen.
At Proximity Learning, live virtual teachers create real-time discussions, ask questions, build confidence, and keep students engaged from bell to bell.
Because learning happens when students participate.

One of the perks of teaching remotely is never having to pretend you didn’t hear your name echo across the room on a Saturday afternoon.
Weekends are for logging off, staying unmuted in peace, and letting someone else answer the questions until Monday.

A well-deserved recognition for one of our own.
We’re proud to celebrate a Proximity Learning teacher, Dion Lucas, who has been nominated for a Staff Recognition Award by her district.
Proud to see one of our virtual teachers recognized for the difference she makes every day.

This week is about the people who show up, log in, and give their full attention to students who need it most. Thank you for showing up, for staying present, and for making a difference in ways that truly matter.

Teacher Appreciation Month is more than recognition, it’s about meaningful support. At Proximity Learning, we believe supporting teachers means creating real resources that help them thrive both inside and outside the classroom.

Students deserve more than crossing the finish line alone.

Teachers help students reflect, revise, and grow. Without them, learning loses direction and depth.

Addressing the teacher shortage means protecting the quality of education, not just the pace.

One of our students just won 1st place at the state level in a poetry competition after being encouraged to submit their work through an assignment from their PLI teacher.

Without teachers, learning stalls.

No guided discussion. No feedback on writing. No one to help students push past surface-level understanding.

The teacher shortage is not a detour. It is a breakdown in momentum.
Partner with us to get back on the road today.

Live learning keeps students engaged at full throttle.

Discussion-based instruction challenges students to think quickly, write clearly, and respond thoughtfully. It builds confidence and comprehension in ways passive learning never can.

Teacher unions are shaping major conversations in education right now.

Removing barriers for teachers means removing limits for students.

Live instruction gives teachers the flexibility to respond, adapt, and engage students when it matters most.

Learning accelerates when teachers are empowered to teach in the moment.

Learning sticks when it happens in the moment, not on a replay.

Having trouble finding speech-language or occupational therapy providers?
PLI connects districts with licensed professionals who deliver individualized virtual services that support communication, motor skills, sensory processing, and functional performance.

Even when teacher shortages cast a shadow, educators’ real-time teaching continues to bring light. Because no matter how cold or challenging the landscape gets, learning should always be bright.

Are your educators spending more time on paperwork than instruction?
PLI certified case managers support districts by developing compliant IEPs, facilitating meetings, monitoring progress, and maintaining accurate records so teachers can focus on students, not forms.

Behind on initial evaluations or reevaluations? You're not alone.
PLI licensed school psychologists conduct timely assessments, interpret data, support eligibility decisions, & collaborate with school teams to keep students moving forward and districts in compliance.

In a world that demands communication, collaboration, and adaptability, students can’t afford to learn in isolation. At Proximity Learning, we’re proving every day that synchronous instruction isn’t just about keeping students caught up; it’s about setting them up for success.

When people ask if virtual teaching really works, we point to moments like this. One student jumped an entire band on his state standardized assessment. This is the power of synchronous virtual instruction. Real relationships. Real teaching. Real results.

Quarterzips and matcha have us locked in for the new year.

Behind on IEPs? Struggling to keep up with evaluations?
Trying to support students without burning out your team?
Our Special Services help districts build a clear roadmap forward, from assessments to instruction to related services. Get support that meets you where you are.

While async programs rely on recordings, our live, synchronous classrooms bring certified educators directly to students, no matter where they live. That’s how we close equity gaps, support districts facing teacher shortages, and ensure every learner gets the power of presence.

We’re taking a moment to reflect on what it meant to show up for students across the country.
As we turn the page to a new year, we do so with renewed commitment to educational equity and to reaching even more students who deserve consistent, high-quality instruction.

Teacher shortages may be today’s crisis, but with live virtual instruction, they can also be tomorrow’s opportunity. At Proximity Learning, we’re helping schools address immediate staffing needs and prepare students for a connected, collaborative future.

From our team to yours, we’re wishing you a season filled with joy, rest, and connection. As we wrap up another year supporting districts and expanding access to live instruction, we’re grateful for every teacher, partner, and school community who makes this work meaningful.

As the holidays approach, we’re reminded that this season is about connection, care, and community, the same principles that drive every live virtual classroom at Proximity Learning.
This winter, let’s remember: supporting teachers is supporting students.

Just as communities come together in real time to celebrate their traditions, students grow when they can learn from real teachers, live, connected, and present. We ensure students continue to grow, together, no matter the season or the shortage.

From Hanukkah to Kwanzaa, and every tradition in between, live learning invites all stories, values, and voices into one shared space.

When students and teachers connect in real time, they don’t just exchange lessons; they exchange understanding.

We’re stepping into An Ed-Tech Christmas Carol. As we look to the future, AI, VR, and hybrid learning promise even more ways to learn.
But even as tech evolves, one truth remains: human connection drives real learning. We use innovation to enhance teaching, never replace it.

At Proximity Learning, we believe real connection is the heart of real learning. Our live, certified teachers bring human interaction back to the online classroom, ensuring students aren’t just completing work, they’re truly learning.

The greatest gift a school can give its students? A certified teacher who shows up every day. At Proximity Learning, our live virtual teachers bring that gift to districts everywhere, proving that equity, engagement, and empathy never go out of season. #SynchronousLearning

Applications are officially open for TEDxJesterCirED now through December 31, and we want to hear from the educators, innovators, researchers, leaders, and big thinkers who are ready to reshape the future of learning.

At Proximity Learning, we believe every student deserves the chance to learn live from a certified teacher who’s truly present, no matter their zip code.
Because equity in education means more than access; it means access to connection.

When the snow starts to fall and the world slows down, learning at Proximity Learning doesn’t stop; it adapts. ❄️
Live, synchronous instruction ensures that students stay connected to their teachers and classmates, even when weather closes physical classrooms.

As we reflect on gratitude this season, we’re thankful for the teachers who make learning happen, wherever students are. Live, virtual educators ensure that instruction continues without interruption, bringing consistency and care to every classroom they reach.

This Thanksgiving, we’re giving thanks to the educators who keep teaching live and connected.
Synchronous instruction does more than deliver lessons; it keeps relationships at the center of learning.

Great teaching doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens when educators have access to real-time support, mentorship, and a professional community.
Proximity Learning’s live certified teachers bring that support directly into classrooms.

Teacher retention isn’t just a statistic, it’s the heartbeat of every thriving school.
At Proximity Learning, we’ve seen how live, synchronous instruction helps teachers rediscover the balance and connection that first drew them to education.

The Proximity Learning team had an incredible time at the AAEE Conference last week! Keep an eye out at upcoming education conferences across the country, or reach out today to learn how we can help your district fill instructional gaps with live, certified virtual teachers.

The teacher shortage isn’t just about empty classrooms it’s about the strain it places on the educators still standing. Proximity Learning helps districts fill vacancies with certified, live teachers so the burden isn’t left on a few.

Teacher burnout often stems from being asked to do more with less and asynchronous programs only add to the weight. Live, synchronous instruction flips the script: real connection, shared energy, and support that sustains both teachers and students.

In a world full of “click play and walk away,” nothing compares to the power of live, synchronous learning. When students see and interact with a real teacher in real time, questions get answered, connections are built, and learning sticks.

Our virtual model gives teachers the flexibility to build thoughtful, engaging lesson plans from home. Behind every screen is a system designed to keep students engaged and supported, so teachers can do what they do best: teach with purpose, creativity, and care.

Our live virtual classrooms are designed with multiple layers of support:
A private chat box where students can ask questions confidently & get real-time answers, an in-person facilitator and a certified virtual teacher who can see and interact with every student at once.

They said, ‘She’s good.’ We say, ‘She’s one of ours.’

A huge shoutout to Proximity Learning teacher Nancy DeBellis, whose engaging instruction recently caught the attention of an in-person teacher at her new partner school—literally through the walls. Read more on our website.

The teacher shortage is leaving too many classrooms without consistent instruction. Proximity Learning delivers live teachers into classrooms nationwide. Even when schools can’t fill a role, we make sure students don’t lose the opportunity to learn.

Districts facing challenges often turn to asynchronous programs as a quick fix. But the truth is clear: async isn’t a solution, t’s a setback.
At Proximity Learning, our certified, live-streamed teachers engage directly with students, helping them stay on track.

Districts face teacher shortages, some turn to async stopgaps. But results are clear: higher rates of disengagement, deeper learning loss, and equity gaps that leave the most vulnerable students behind. Students can’t afford to lose ground. We’re here to make sure they don’t. 🌟

Async stopgaps may look like a solution, but the cost is steep: widening equity gaps, growing student disengagement, and long-term learning loss. Recorded lessons can’t provide the accountability, encouragement, and trust that students need to stay on track.
#EquityInEducation

We are honored to share that Proximity Learning has been recognized in the Tech & Learning Awards of Excellence: Back to School 2025 within the Secondary Education category! Thank you to our team, our partner districts, and our dedicated teachers who make this possible each day.
