Reimagine school. Support students. Change lives.
At ChallengeU, we do high school differently! We're a fully online dropout recovery and prevention high school, dedicated to helping students aged 14-21 who have fallen behind or disconnected from traditional education. Through flexibility, compassion, and personalized support, we help students reclaim their path to graduation.
Note: While this is primarily a remote position, team members must attend in-person training and travel within Ohio to proctor required state assessments.
What You'll Do
Whether you're a literacy expert or a math wizard, you'll deliver engaging, standards-aligned instruction entirely online - meeting students where they are and helping them build the skills they need to graduate. Your role will include:
Classroom Catalyst: Deliver rigorous, standards-aligned instruction in your subject area (ELA or Math, Grades 9-12) using our virtual learning platform - meeting students where they are academically and emotionally.
Feedback Guru: Monitor and grade student work, providing individualized feedback that moves students forward.
Data Detective: Monitor academic progress using student data tools and LMS platforms, adjusting instruction based on what the data is telling you.
IEP Ally: Collaborate with the Special Education team to ensure IEP and 504 accommodations are implemented effectively within your virtual classroom.
Connection Captain: Maintain strong, consistent communication with students, families, and graduation coaches to keep everyone aligned on progress and next steps.
Office Hours Hero: Provide virtual office hours and small-group tutoring to give students the extra support they need to succeed.
Assessment Architect: Prepare students for state assessments and graduation requirements - and travel in person as needed to proctor standardized testing.
Team Player: Participate in student support planning and interdisciplinary collaboration, contributing your voice to holistic student success strategies.
If you're our ELA Teacher, you'll also:
Literacy Leader: Deliver instruction in reading comprehension, literary analysis, writing, vocabulary, and grammar.
Writing Coach: Guide students through the full writing process - from brainstorming and drafting to revision and final submission - fostering creativity, voice, and precision.
If you're our Math Teacher, you'll also:
Math Maestro: Deliver synchronous and asynchronous instruction covering Algebra I & II, Geometry, Math Modeling & Reasoning, Financial Math, Math III/IV, and foundational/remedial courses as needed.
Who You Are:
A seasoned virtual educator with a track record of real online teaching - the more experience beyond pandemic-era emergency mode, the better.
Deeply familiar with virtual platforms like Google Suite, learning management systems, Peardeck, and digital communication tools.
Skilled at building relationships with at-risk youth in nontraditional or high-support learning environments.
Flexible, student-centered, and able to differentiate instruction and personalize learning pathways.
Organized, proactive, and an excellent communicator in writing and on screen.
Motivated to be part of a mission-driven team building better outcomes for students who need it most.
