College & Career Readiness (CCR) Teacher (K–8)

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 Haughville 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're looking for a creative, growth-minded educator to join our Related Arts team as our College & Career Readiness (CCR) Teacher for grades K–8. Through engaging, hands-on lessons, you'll help students explore future careers, build digital literacy skills, and practice the life-readiness habits that set them up for success in school and beyond.

This is a fully supported role: complete lesson plans and instructional structure are provided for you. Your job is to execute those lessons with excellence — and you'll be coached closely on strong delivery, not left to build curriculum from scratch.

Matchbook Learning invests deeply in its teachers. You will never build a lesson from scratch — our program provides fully developed lesson plans and instructional structure, and our coaching team supports you in delivering them with excellence. You will receive:

• Fully developed CCR lesson plans and pacing — your energy goes into strong execution, not lesson design
• Structured coaching and feedback on lesson delivery from instructional coaches and a highly visible administration
• Robust bilingual support throughout the school — bilingual staff, resources, and systems to fully serve our Spanish-speaking students and families
• Classroom management systems, PBIS support, and positive behavior reinforcement frameworks
• Morning circle coaching and support (K–8) launching 2026–2027
• PGP credits available for license renewal
• Full support for educators pursuing an Indiana Emergency Permit, if not yet fully licensed

• Deliver hands-on College & Career Readiness lessons for students in grades K–8 using provided curriculum, lesson plans, and pacing
• Introduce students to a wide variety of careers and career pathways, and teach age-appropriate financial literacy concepts
• Teach responsible technology use, digital citizenship, keyboarding, research skills, and online safety
• Teach and reinforce the school's five competencies:
  Academic Ownership, Communication, Collaboration, Honor, and Resilience
• Build students' life-readiness skills — goal setting, organization, problem solving, self-management, and leadership — through projects, discussion, and reflection
• Differentiate instruction to meet a variety of student needs
• Reinforce school-wide expectations and positive behavior systems
• Collaborate with the Related Arts team and the Related Arts Team Lead for planning, coaching, and curriculum implementation
• Partner with classroom teachers to reinforce school-wide competencies and expectations

Required:

• Bachelor's degree in any field — any background considered
• A valid Indiana teaching license in any content area — OR eligibility for an Indiana Emergency Permit
• Genuine growth mindset and openness to coaching and feedback
• Commitment to equity, high expectations, and serving students with high needs

Preferred:

• Prior experience working with elementary or middle school-aged students, youth development, career exploration, or technology education
