About the position
The California Virtual Academies (a network of 9 public charter schools) delivers online/virtual home-based instruction to TK-12 students in California. K12, inc. is our curriculum provider and you will instruct your students online via a Class Connect Program. Education Specialists are responsible for the specialized academic instruction (SAI) for students with disabilities and case management duties. You will manage a caseload of students, including scheduling and holding IEP meetings. You can have a wide variety of grades on your caseload (TK-5, 6-8, or 9-12). However, when you teach your SAI classes or provide specialized academic services in general education classes, they will be geared towards a more narrow grade range and correlated to students' goals and the standards with which those goals are aligned. Most communication is done virtually via video conference, teleconference, regular phone calls, email, and instant messaging. There are in-person meetings and trainings that take place periodically throughout the school year that you will be required to attend. Additionally, you may be required to participate in-person for state testing at a location near your residence.
