Unlike most Open Ed programs, Colorado teachers lead a one‑hour live lesson every school day
, bringing students together for a real‑time, interactive connection across a variety of topics. You'll also take an active role in tracking student attendance and engagement daily. If you're certified in multiple states and weighing your options,
choose Colorado if you want a role with a consistent live‑teaching presence and structured daily rhythm
.

Open Ed teachers play a key role in supporting students through their educational journey. You'll work directly with students and families to provide encouragement, accountability, and individualized support, while also building meaningful connections through daily live interaction.

All Open Ed Teachers share the same core role, regardless of certification or endorsement area. Assignments are based on student and program needs and won’t always align with your specific endorsement. You may also take on additional responsibilities, such as tutoring or small‑group instruction, based on program needs.

Expect regular synchronous work with students, ongoing communication with students and parents, active participation in live interaction, and consistent monitoring of student attendance and engagement.

This is a non‑traditional teaching role that emphasizes mentorship, flexibility, personalized support, and building meaningful student connections through both individualized support and live learning experiences rather than a single classroom or fixed course load.
