  • Provide seamless instructional continuity that keeps students engaged, progressing, and connected during teacher absences and organizational transitions.
  • Build strong relationships with students and families, quickly creating trust, confidence, and a sense of stability during periods of change.
  • Monitor engagement and progress with eagle-eyed attention; spot struggling or disengaged students early and launch timely, personalized interventions that reignite momentum.
  • Deliver timely grading and powerful, meaningful feedback that reinforces learning, celebrates growth, builds self-efficacy, and equips students to conquer challenges with confidence.
  • Serve students, families, and colleagues with genuine professionalism, integrity, humility, and a white-glove mindset that makes every interaction feel personal and uplifting.
  • Own daily monitoring of student engagement and academic progress; act swiftly and thoughtfully when support is needed most.
  • Foster genuine relationships through consistent, reliable, multi-channel communication that makes students and families feel supported all day, every school day.
  • Empower mastery of course material by guiding students with clarity, varied explanations, and encouragement that sparks deeper understanding.
  • Provide prompt, high-quality grading and feedback that inspires forward movement and long-term growth.
  • Keep precise, actionable records of progress and interventions to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
  • Collaborate enthusiastically with peers and leaders to amplify student success across the team.
  • Engage fully in professional development, meetings, and training to continuously elevate your impact.
  • Teach faithfully within the assigned curriculum, pacing, and resources only, channeling your creativity into masterful delivery rather than any creation from scratch or use of outside materials.
  • Lead live sessions when called upon, bringing energy and connection using only provided content.
  • Support proctoring during testing windows, including occasional travel, to ensure fair and secure assessments.
  • Embrace other duties as needed to advance our mission.

What they require

  • This isn't traditional substitute teaching. It's serving as a dependable instructor who provides continuity during critical moments, ensuring students remain engaged, supported, and successful regardless of changing circumstances.
  • Being successful in this position requires flexibility, resilience, responsiveness, and a deep commitment to student success because students deserve exceptional support every day—not just when circumstances are ideal.
  • Work a varying schedule based on organizational coverage needs, student support requirements, and testing schedules. Coverage periods may vary in duration and frequency throughout the school year.
  • Remain actively available and immediately responsive throughout the workday via phone, chat, Zoom, email, and internal systems so students, parents, and colleagues can reach you in real time.
  • Avoid all concurrent work during scheduled hours and maintain full professional focus; ensure any outside employment does not interfere with performance.
  • Maintain a private, professional, distraction-free remote workspace with reliable high-speed internet that supports video and required tools.
  • Maintain consistent daily availability; absences exceeding two consecutive instructional days materially disrupt student support, engagement, and progress monitoring and generally cannot be accommodated during the instructional term.
  • You thrive in dynamic environments and enjoy stepping into new situations with confidence and positivity.
  • You find fulfillment in helping students remain successful during times of transition or uncertainty.
  • You can quickly build relationships and establish trust with students, families, and colleagues.
  • You're wired for excellence: self-driven, ultra-responsive, and proud to own every student's progress as if it were your own family member.
  • You see online education as a superpower—one that reaches underserved students anywhere, personalizes learning at scale, and redefines access to transformative learning.
  • You embrace clear structure, metrics, and accountability because they fuel your ability to deliver extraordinary results.
  • You prefer minimal direct interaction with students or parents.
  • You dislike proactive outreach such as phone calls or frequent messaging.
  • You expect primarily asynchronous teaching with limited real-time engagement.
  • You struggle with tight responsiveness, follow-through, or time management under metrics.
  • You want to balance this position with another job.
  • You resist oversight, performance tracking, or structured expectations.
  • Strong interpersonal skills to communicate clearly, empathetically, and professionally.
  • Ability to build rapport, gain commitment, and explain concepts using varied methods.
  • Extreme ownership of outcomes with high self-motivation, discipline, and accountability to exceed expectations.
  • Proven content knowledge and prior educational success with students from a variety of backgrounds.
  • Strong organizational skills, time management, attention to detail, and the ability to handle competing priorities.
  • Independent work capability paired with effective remote team collaboration.
  • Proficiency with Mac OS, Google Workspace, learning management systems, and task tools (e.g., Asana); quick adaptation to new technologies.
  • Willingness and ability to travel to assigned testing locations for proctoring.
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Education or related field (required)
  • Teacher certification and an approved teacher preparation program (required)
  • Ability to obtain Substitute Teacher certifications in Arizona, Colorado, Washington, and other states as may be assigned (required)
  • 3+ years teaching experience (preferred)
  • 2+ years online teaching experience (preferred)
  • Ability to pass required background checks (required)
