Why This Job Is Different

At Florida Scholars Academy, we believe in second chances and bright futures. As an FSA Instructor, you won’t just teach—you’ll empower students living in DJJ residential facilities across Florida. You’ll help them catch up, level up, and thrive academically, no matter where they’re starting from.

This is a powerful role for someone who wants to make real change, build strong relationships, and grow in a tech-forward and values-aligned organization.

Plan creative and interactive lessons that meet students where they are
Build trust and create a safe space for learning and growth
Track attendance and grades, and help students set goals
Work with other educators to share ideas and build success
Tutor students 1-on-1 or in small groups
Use both in-person and digital tools (yes, we blend tech + human interaction)
Be a mentor, motivator, and life-changer—all in a day’s work
You’ll Thrive Here If You Are...

A mission-driven educator (or aspiring one) who believes in helping all students succeed
Tech-savvy and comfortable navigating online learning platforms
Flexible, creative, and excited to work in a dynamic environment
Someone who brings patience, humor, and compassion to the classroom
Looking for a purposeful role, not just a paycheck
Must-Haves

Bachelor’s Degree
A valid Florida teaching certificate — or a temporary certificate / proof of enrollment in an EPI or MAT program
Comfortable working full-time onsite at a DJJ facility
Willing to attend professional development, meetings, and trainings
Path to growth—both for your students and yourself
Extra Credit (Preferred but Not Required)

Certification in ESE, Reading, ESOL, or Gifted Education
Experience teaching in non-traditional settings or with at-risk youth
Strong classroom management and student engagement skills
Tech & Skills You’ll Use

Google Workspace (Docs, Drive, Classroom)
Online grading and learning platforms
Digital curriculum tools
Basic troubleshooting & digital communication
Perks You’ll Love

Be a change maker:
Help students rewrite their future
Growth & Support:
Professional development, mentoring, and career pathways
Flexibility:
Small class sizes, time to build real relationships, and space to innovate
Benefits:
Competitive salary, PTO, state retirement plan, health insurance, and more
Community:
Work with a diverse, supportive, and passionate team
