About The Position

We use the K12, inc. curriculum as the basis for instruction and you will teach via the Engageli platform. Teachers instruct students online daily both synchronously and asynchronously. High School Career Technical Education (CTE) teachers carry a caseload of both content & homeroom students.

Teachers build lasting relationships with their homeroom students through regular communication throughout the school year & monitor attendance, progress, & engagement, providing interventions when necessary to ensure students remain engaged & learning. We do our best to assign homeroom students locally as teachers are required to plan & attend in person outings & events; CTE relevant events when applicable. CTE teachers communicate daily with learning coaches & families via telephone, web conferencing, & email, act as a CTSO Advisor, hold parent/teacher/student conferences quarterly, attend virtual meetings, & participate in PLCs, data conferencing.
