About The Position

OpenEd is seeking Texas-certified teachers for a flexible, work-from-home opportunity as part-time teachers. This role supports students and families through personalized learning in a student-centered, online education program. OpenEd partners with public school districts to offer tuition-free, flexible learning plans, empowering students and families to tailor their educational experiences while fostering curiosity, independence, and lifelong learning. Teachers will provide encouragement, accountability, and individualized support, collaborating with colleagues across the program. This is a non-traditional teaching role emphasizing mentorship, flexibility, and personalized support, rather than a single classroom or fixed course load. Assignments are based on student and program needs and may include tutoring, small-group instruction, or other support areas. Teachers should expect regular synchronous work with students, ongoing communication with students and parents, and grading responsibilities.
