Job Description:

We are actively accepting applications for current openings.

Are you an Indiana-certified teacher, with a Music endorsement, currently residing in Indiana and interested in an engaging, flexible, work-from-home opportunity? OpenEd, a student-centered online personalized education program, is accepting applications for current part-time teachers to support students and families through personalized learning.

This role includes both remote teaching responsibilities and required in-person testing support within Indiana.

Why OpenEd?

OpenEd is a leading provider of personalized K–12 educational programs, partnered with innovative public school districts to offer tuition-free, flexible learning plans. We empower students and families to tailor their educational experiences while fostering curiosity, independence, and lifelong learning.

What does it look like to be an OpenEd Teacher?

OpenEd 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 OpenEd 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 OpenEd 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.

In-Person Testing Requirement (Indiana)

As part of this role, teachers are required to support in-person student testing sessions within the state of Indiana. This includes assisting with the administration of state or program-required assessments during designated testing windows.

Teachers will travel to assigned testing locations within Indiana to support scheduled testing sessions. Travel costs will be reimbursed, accommodations provided as needed, and guidance and support will be provided throughout the process.

Testing Windows:
March, April/May, and June (each window spans approximately two weeks; specific dates will be shared in advance)
