About K12 Coalition

K12 Coalition provides products and services that help K-12 schools and teachers achieve transformational learning outcomes. We tackle many of today’s toughest education obstacles, including teacher certification, test preparation, professional learning, curriculum, consulting, and strategic planning. K12 Coalition came together when educators with deep experience as teachers, school leaders and high-level district administrators observed a genuine need for something better. Our divisions include iteach, Teaching Channel, Insight Education Group and Lavinia Group.

About iteach

iteach is a competency-based educator preparation program helping to fill the void the nation faces with the unprecedented teacher shortage. iteach enables paraprofessionals, substitute teachers, and others seeking to become teachers to get the affordable, time-saving education they need to become licensed. Our program combines the convenience of online learning with a full year of face-to-face mentorship during a teaching residency. Notably, iteach is the only non-university educator preparation program to achieve accreditation from the Council for Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP).

Location:Remote, available from anywhere within the U.S.

Employment: Part-Time Variable Position - less than 20 hours per week, with variable hours depending on seasonal demand.

The Opportunity

As an Instructional Coach at iteach, you will play a crucial role in supporting new teachers as they transition from the iteach alternative certification program into their first classrooms. New teachers entering the classroom for the first time benefit from your guidance as they develop their instructional skills and build confidence in their teaching practice.

In this role, you will provide targeted coaching, feedback, and mentorship to ensure these teachers develop the instructional skills and classroom strategies needed to succeed. Through online learning platforms, discussion boards, and live coaching sessions, you will help bridge the gap between theory and practice, fostering a supportive learning environment where new teachers can refine their craft, address challenges, and celebrate successes.

• Provide meaningful feedback by grading assignments and offering constructive insights.
• Host virtual huddle sessions via Zoom to facilitate collaboration and professional growth.
