Summary of the Opportunity

• broader literacy and numeracy goals in grades K - 8.
• assignment completion support in grades 9 - 12.

This is a 10-month, full-time contract opportunity, from August 15, 2026 to June 15, 2027.

This role is ideal for someone who works well independently and in a small team, and demonstrates strong computer and organizing skills.

Work Environment

We are a remote organization.

We operate during Pacific Time zone business hours, Monday to Friday between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm.

Flexibility in hours of availability is possible while still meeting the needs of the organization and learners.
