Position Summary

We are looking for a Certified Fine Arts Teacher (Virtual; Remote) for the 202X-202X School Year. In this role, you will deliver personalized and engaging instruction and support to students in Fine Arts courses. This position is eligible for an annual bonus based on performance.

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 like the idea of proactively engaging with students and families every day, this may be the right position for you.

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 generous 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 may require in-person support. Occasional travel to support proctoring of student tests and other face-to-face events like graduation may be required.
