Montana-Certified Teacher Opportunity

At Open Ed, we're opening the world to every learner. With over 100,000 students served and growing rapidly, families trust us as a partner to the most precious thing in their lives, their children. Our vision: a future where education is no longer constrained by geography, rigid models, or outdated systems. Our mission: to give every student customized, world-class education and resources, empowering families and opening millions of doors for learners across the country.

Open Ed, a student-centered, online personalized education program, is accepting applications for part-time teachers to support students and families through personalized learning.

Open Ed Teachers play a key role in supporting students through their educational journey. Teachers work directly with students and families to provide encouragement, accountability, and individualized support while collaborating with colleagues across the program.

All Open Ed Teachers share the same core role, regardless of certification or endorsement area. While teachers bring valuable subject-matter expertise, assignments are based on student and program needs and will not always align directly with a teacher's specific endorsement.

In addition to their core student group, teachers may take on additional assignments across the program, such as tutoring, small-group instruction, or other areas of support, based on program needs. While specific assignments may shift over time, the core responsibilities of an Open Ed Teacher remain consistent. Teachers should expect regular synchronous work with students, ongoing communication with students and parents, and grading responsibilities aligned with program expectations.

This is a non-traditional teaching role that emphasizes mentorship, flexibility, and personalized support rather than a single classroom or fixed course load.
