About The Position

Our postings are eligibility pools for positions that may arise during the 2026-2027 school year, ONLY. Applications and interviews are for consideration to be placed in the eligibility pool. As our enrollment continues to grow during the year, there is no way to forecast when a position will open up, which is why there are no set number of open positions listed, nor is such information given out. ABOUT THE CALIFORNIA VIRTUAL ACADEMIES AND THE HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER POSITIONS: The California Virtual Academies (a network of 9 public charter schools) delivers online/virtual home based instruction to students in grades TK-12 in California. We use K12, inc. as our curriculum provider for the basis of instruction and teachers provide live instruction via the Engageli platform. While our schools do offer some scheduling flexibility, students are still required to log into the online school daily, complete coursework, and attend instructional sessions. High School teachers carry a caseload of both content and homeroom students. They meet with content students throughout the week in their virtual classrooms to provide standards-based direct and targeted instruction that meets the needs of the students. Teachers support students in coursework, offer additional one-to-one support, and provide feedback and grade work within three days of submission. They build lasting relationships with their homeroom students through daily homeroom sessions, consistent outreach throughout the school year with direct contact on a monthly basis, monitor attendance, progress, and engagement, as well as providing interventions as needed to ensure students remain engaged and continue learning. We do our best to assign homeroom students locally, as teachers are required to plan and attend in person outings and events. All teachers communicate regularly with learning coaches and families via telephone, web conferencing, and email. Teachers hold parent/teacher/student conferences quarterly, attend virtual meetings, and participate in PLCs, data conferencing, and professional development, both virtually and in-person. Teachers may meet with their students face-to-face for tutoring and at other in-person opportunities. All teachers are required to proctor state testing. The Career Readiness Education (CRE) Teacher is a state certified teacher and/or alternatively certified CRE Teacher responsible for delivering specific course content in a Project Based Learning online environment. The CRE teacher must provide instruction, support and guidance, manage the learning process, and focus on students’ individual needs. Teachers monitor student progress through K12’s learning management system, and work actively with students and parents to advance each student’s learning and working with Career Counselors to develop and monitor a plan for post-secondary success via online tools like Tallo, Career Builder and Career Cruising.
