Position Summary

We are seeking an Online Secondary Social Studies Teacher (Remote; Virtual) to join our team for next school year. In this role, you will deliver personalized and engaging instruction and support to students in social studies courses.

The vast majority of your time will be spent contacting students and parents directly to provide one on one support. You’ll make these connections every day using chat, email, text messages, and telephone calls. If you don’t like the idea of proactively reaching out to students and families every day, this isn’t the right position.

About a quarter of your time will be spent providing personalized feedback to students via grading assignments and recording personalized video feedback. A small portion of your time might be spent supplementing our system curriculum by developing and/or delivering quality live and recorded lessons as determined in collaboration with your supervisor.

You’ll leverage your knowledge of your subject matter, your skills as an educator, and your mastery of Google Apps for Education, learning management systems, and modern communication tools to drive personalized learning experiences that yield strong academic results. Your innovation will maximize student engagement and knowledge acquisition yet you’ll frequently forgo technology to provide instruction and support to students and parents using telephone calls from someone that cares.

This position is a 12-month, year-round position with paid time off and paid sick leave available. We offer a slate of more than ten paid company holidays plus an additional period of time off to rest and reflect over the winter holidays.

Though we operate in the online education space, school community is important to us. Face-to-face activities like student testing require in-person support. Occasional travel to support proctoring of student tests and other face-to-face events like graduation is required.

  • Provide essential proctoring services during periods of student testing including traveling to testing locations, setting up student testing materials, completing assessment training, and facilitating the test;

  • Verifiably skilled in engaging unresponsive, struggling students;
  • Demonstrated ability to take initiative, work independently, collaborate with others, and effectively build relationships with students, families, and colleagues;
  • Able to quickly learn, use, and adapt new technology and systems;
  • Able to travel to physically proctor student assessments; and
  • Demonstrated professional oral and written communication skills.

Educational Qualifications

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, and vision employee coverage for as little as $1 each per month;
  • Personal paid time off in addition to major holidays;
  • Short-term disability insurance, long-term disability insurance, life insurance, and AD&D insurance all 100% paid by the employer;
