<div><b style="font-size: 11pt">Learning Expert (Teacher) - Remote</b></div><div><span style="font-size: 11pt">Sora is a virtual middle and high school. We have fundamentally reframed the curriculum and approach followed by traditional schools. Through a combination of synchronous learning experiences (expeditions) and individual learning options (activities and independent study) students chart their own path through middle and high school. </span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size: 11pt">Our faculty lead expeditions and support student individual learning by serving as a guide and coach for our students: sparking their interests, creativity, and self-driven learning. The content of expeditions is rooted in our educational philosophy (more </span><a href="https://soraschools.com/why-sora/" style="font-size: 11pt" class="postings-link">here</a><span style="font-size: 11pt">!) but may be adapted to your own interests and the interests of our students. You’ll explore topical questions to help them work through their projects. One moment a student may be asking about the American Civil War and the next someone needs help with Nietzschean Philosophy. One moment a student may be asking about rocketry, and the next someone needs help with an app to address the effects of climate change</span><span style="font-size: 10.5pt">. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt">You help students think broadly and delve deeply, teaching students about your subject areas as well as areas beyond your expertise.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size: 11pt">As an essential aspect of being a community of learners, experts also serve as house advisors–serving as a trusted point of contact for a group of Sora students as they explore the program and structure their Sora journey. Students often work with advisors to consider what they might want to learn next, and figure out how to overcome roadblocks.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size: 11pt">You will help to build our model too: we’re a unique school and a start up. We look for people excited by this. You’ll have the opportunity to push our educational model, student experience, and company forward by participating in cross-team, department, and functional projects. You will have the chance to design learning experiences and to make the ones we have even better. Whether you’re interested in curriculum development, creating vibrant and engaging remote experiences, or how to run a startup, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute and learn.</span></div><div><br></div><div><b style="font-size: 11pt">Location and Salary</b></div><div><span style="font-size: 11pt">This is a fully remote position (located anywhere in the US) with full-time and part-time options available. Full-time roles for US based candidates have an annual salary of $56,000 - $65,000/year, based on experience, plus a generous benefits package including health, dental, vision, and life insurance, a retirement plan with company matching, and generous Paid Time Off.
