6th Grade Teacher
About The Position
At Matchbook Learning, our vision is simple: every child is known, loved, and flourishing. We are a tuition-free public charter school proudly rooted in the Haughville neighborhood of Indianapolis, serving K–8 students at Wendell Phillips School 63.

We serve students with a wide range of learning needs and we are proud to be in this community. You will be surrounded by a visible, supportive administration, a strong instructional coaching team, a dedicated MLL director, a large restorative team, and colleagues who put kids first.

What you do need is solid math content knowledge, the ability to internalize provided curriculum, and a genuine willingness to be coached on delivery. Envision Math is our primary curriculum and you will be fully equipped to teach it. Our students gained 14 percentile points in math growth last year. You will help continue that trajectory.
