1 Positions Available — Grades 6 | Salary Range: $51,500 - $83,000 | Full-Time

At Matchbook Learning, our vision is simple: every child is known, loved, and flourishing. We are a tuition-free public charter school proudly rooted in the Hallville neighborhood of Indianapolis, serving K–8 students at Wendell Phillips School 63. Our students come with high needs and extraordinary potential - and our staff shows up every day to meet both.

Half of our student population are Multilingual Learners. We serve students with a wide range of learning needs and we are proud to be in this community. You will be surrounded by a visible, supportive administration, a strong instructional coaching team, a dedicated MLL director, a large restorative team, and colleagues who put kids first.

We are hiring one 6th Grade Flex Teacher. This is a unique, high-impact role for educators who thrive on using data, reinforcing skills, and meeting students exactly where they are.

In the flex room, you will reinforce ELA writing skills using school-provided rubrics and materials, and math skills using Envision Math, Practice Buddy, and MathXL. Student data from these platforms is turned around quickly - your role is to target what the data tells you, track skill progression, and close gaps in real time.

This role is ideal for candidates with a background in science, social studies, ELA, or math who are willing and excited to step outside their primary content area. We will coach you completely. All materials are provided - you simply internalize them and execute with excellence.

• Deliver math skill reinforcement using Envision Math, Practice Buddy, and MathXL platforms
• Analyze platform data regularly to identify which skills need targeting and reinforcement
• Track student skill progression in both ELA and math and communicate results to grade-level teachers
• Participate in weekly/bi-weekly data meetings to align flex instruction with core classroom priorities
• Implement SIOP-aligned strategies to support Multilingual Learners during all flex instruction
• Maintain a structured, positive environment using PBIS and restorative practices
• Participate in coaching cycles, professional development, and instructional feedback sessions
• Build relationships with students through conferencing and consistent daily presence
• Communicate with families and contribute to school-wide culture and competency structures

Required:

• Bachelor's degree in any field - science, social studies, math, and ELA backgrounds all strongly welcome
• Willingness to teach outside your primary content area - full coaching and support are provided
• Valid Indiana teaching license OR enrolled in / willing to enroll in a state-approved transition-to-teaching program
• Comfort with data and technology platforms (training provided)
• Genuine growth mindset and openness to coaching and feedback

Preferred:

• Experience working with middle school-aged students
• Familiarity with Envision Math, MathXL, Practice Buddy, or similar platforms
• Experience in writing instruction, content-area literacy, or intervention
• Bilingual (English/Spanish) a plus

Matchbook Learning invests deeply in its teachers. Our professional development is intentional, ongoing, and directly connected to what happens in classrooms every day. You will receive:

• Weekly or bi-weekly data cycles - every teacher always knows exactly where students are and what comes next
