Remote Special Education Teacher
November 26, 2024Remote
Full-time, permanent
Job Description:
Visit Learning Network's Careers site to learn more about who we are:
https://learningnetwork.us/careers
Company Summary:
Learning Network is a growing, innovative, and customer-centric educational technology company. We seek creative and tenacious individuals to help us drive success through service.
Service is very important to us. At Learning Network, you will be among people who care about their customers and colleagues. We prioritize service by ensuring the details are done and done well - every time. We make promises, and we keep those promises. We recognize that our customers and employees don’t have to choose us. As such, service is embedded deep within our culture - and providing white-glove service is an expectation of every employee.
At Learning Network, you’ll be a part of something special. You’ll sleep better knowing you make a difference by bringing the most innovative education to thousands of students. You’ll do this amongst a supportive community of people who care. In return, you’ll care. You’ll show you care by being teachable, doing your job well, and valuing the relationships with your colleagues. You’ll achieve your goals and play nicely in the sandbox with others while doing it. We don’t do drama, and neither should you.
Working at Learning Network isn’t for everyone. But for those who choose to commit to hard work, service, students, and colleagues, it’s an incredibly rewarding experience.
Position Summary:
We have an immediate opening for an Online Special Education Teacher (Remote; Virtual). In this role, you will deliver personalized and engaging instruction and support to special education students.
We are specifically looking for a Special Education Teacher who is open to both instruction and case management.
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.
