A nationwide teaching shortage is forcing some districts to take a more creative look at how to continue providing education for students. Schools within approximately 150 districts throughout the U.S. are now streaming in certified teachers through a partnership with Proximity Learning, an Austin-based education company. The teachers head up the classroom lessons until a full-time faculty member can be hired. Proximity Learning CEO Evan Erdberg said the program started about seven years ago when a number of schools were trying to incorporate Chinese learning into classrooms. Erdberg said since expanding to other subjects, specifically in areas that have been harder for districts to find educators, he has seen more schools bringing in streaming classrooms.
