Virtual Teacher, Full Time French

Edmentum

5d • $45,000 - $50,000 • Remote

About The Position

The mission of the Virtual French Teacher is to provide an outstanding, personalized, and effective learning experience for students by incorporating rigorous curriculum with a data-driven and student-centered instructional model.
An Edmentum Virtual Teacher, SOD is a highly qualified, state certified educator primarily responsible for delivering specific course content in an online, virtual environment. Teachers provide both live and asynchronous instruction. While the technology used for lesson delivery assesses the student’s mastery, Virtual Teachers support, guide and manage the learning process by focusing on students’ individual needs. Lesson grading, feedback, parent and student messaging, and interaction with local school representatives are also part of the role
Virtual Teachers work closely with students and parents/learning coaches to advance each student’s learning toward established goals. They facilitate student engagement with their plan, encourage discussion and clarity around the subject matter, and ensure progress is made. Virtual Teachers also develop rapport with students and create a trusting environment for shared accountability for student progress.
This role supports multiple virtual, live instruction service offerings within Edmentum’s Instructional Services organization. In all cases, learning is built on a foundation of award-winning digital curricula aligned to state standards.
Teachers will be assigned to facilitate some combination of the following:
Flexible Virtual Learning - In this learning environment, students are assigned an Edmentum course via their local school, and they complete the work largely on their own time. Grading, messaging, and live help and overview sessions are provided by an Edmentum Virtual Teacher.
Enhanced Virtual Learning – This learning environment fills gaps where teacher resources or schedules are stretched. These sessions are scheduled within the school day/bell schedule. Edmentum Virtual Teachers lead the session daily, just like their regular classroom teacher, meeting with students to teach on a given topic.
Targeted Skills Instruction – These sessions are done in a tutoring format offered outside of normal classroom instruction as a small group intervention service. Edmentum Teachers provide a tailored lesson to students grouped based on their diagnostic assessment results for a given subject.
Special Education – In this learning environment, the Teacher provides instruction based on individual students’ IEPs (Individualized Education Program).
Additional Responsibilities – Standalone grading services and class coverage.
Success in this role will be partly measured by valid and reliable student assessment data, (passing rate, completion rate) and an overall student satisfaction rating. Other expectations are listed below.
