Virtual Teacher, English​/Language Arts

WHO WE ARE

Edmentum is a dynamic educator and student‑focused company dedicated to tech‑enabled learning solutions. Our goal is to ensure that all students have access to flexible learning environments and educators have the tools they need to support their students. We are on a mission to create innovative, proven learning technology, partnering with educators to ignite student potential. We are a Remote First organization with a strong commitment to excellence, innovation, and customer satisfaction.

The mission of the Virtual English/Language Arts 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.

• Flexible Virtual Learning – Students are assigned an Edmentum course via their local school and complete the work largely on their own time. Grading, messaging, 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. 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.
