Pod Mentor Teacher (K–5) – Hybrid (Sheridan / Online)
About The Position
At Sheridan AllPrep Academy, we believe education should meet students where they are - academically, socially, and emotionally. We are reimagining school by combining flexibility, family partnership, and meaningful in-person connection. We are seeking a Pod Mentor Teacher who is excited to step beyond a traditional classroom role and into one centered on relationships, mentorship, and whole-child support. In this hybrid role, you will support K–5 students in a small, in-person Pod three days per week, where students engage in structured support, enrichment, and community-building. The remainder of your time will be spent working remotely to monitor progress, communicate with families, and plan learning experiences. Pod Mentor Teachers reinforce learning rather than deliver full core instruction, helping students build independence, confidence, and strong learning habits.

- Valid Oregon Teaching License
- Bachelor’s Degree from an accredited college or university
- Experience or interest in working with K–5 students
- Ability to support students in both in-person and virtual environments
- Ability to reliably travel to assigned work location(s)
Responsibilities
- Create a safe, inclusive, and engaging learning environment where students feel supported and connected

- Communicate regularly with families, including conferences, updates, and check-ins
- Monitor, assess, and document student progress, including attendance and required reporting
- Support IEP/504 plans by identifying student needs and implementing accommodations
