Job description

Imagine Learning is actively hiring for multiple per diem positions (temporary and regular per diem) across the country. This is a great opportunity for those with education experience looking for a flexible schedule or supplemental income.

At Imagine Learning, we Empower Potential - in students, educators, and each other. As the leading provider of digital-first K–12 curriculum solutions, we're committed to igniting learning breakthroughs that spark curiosity, creativity, and confidence. Every day, our team designs innovative tools that help educators personalize instruction and engage students in meaningful ways. We're shaping the future of learning through our Curriculum-Informed AI™ approach - technology that understands instructional context, respects educator judgment, and transforms how teachers personalize learning at scale to unlock each student's potential. Together, we're reimagining what's possible and transforming education.

That same spirit of innovation and purpose drives our team culture. At Imagine Learning, you'll find opportunities for meaningful work, continuous growth, and connection with passionate colleagues who care deeply about making a difference. We celebrate collaboration, embrace change, and believe in lifelong learning - for our students and ourselves.

As a remote-friendly company, Imagine Learning offers flexible work arrangements across the U.S. and internationally. Most of our U.S.-based employees work from home or on a hybrid schedule at one of our office locations in Tempe, AZ (HQ), Austin, TX, Petaluma, CA, Rock Rapids, IA, or Bloomington, MN.

Imagine Your Impact.

Are you a former teacher looking for an incredibly flexible seasonal opportunity that allows you to continue to positively impact the lives of students and teachers without being in the classroom? If so, our Seasonal Professional Development Specialist position may be exactly what you've been looking for! As an experienced and successful professional educator, you'll provide content-specific support, training, and guidance in the implementation of our blended and online learning programs in the K-12 environment. You'll deliver workshops and sessions to teachers and instructional personnel on how to integrate digital solutions into their curriculum, instruction, and assessment practices, develop and modify student individualized learning paths, design classroom assessments, and run assessment reports. You'll deliver fee-based, engaging, small and large group presentations. Workshops are delivered virtually (webinars) or onsite, based on the request by the school district.

Compensation may vary based on factors such as, but not limited to, individual skills, experience, training, education/certifications, geographic location, internal equity, and local market conditions.

Location:

In this US-based position you will work from your home office and at K-12 district school sites.

Travel:

You can also expect up to approximately 10-20% travel, so be sure you have a valid driver's license and automobile insurance and a clean driving record for at least the preceding 39 months.

• Paid sick leave
• Access to on-demand mental health resources
• Employee and social media referral bonuses

Envision Your Experience.

This mission-critical role provides you with maximum flexibility to work during normal business days/hours, as your schedule allows. Hours fluctuate based on business demands, with peak times being July through October. During these months, our Seasonal Professional Development Specialists are highly engaged and busy working. In the off-season, November through June, hours are minimal. In this role, you are free to decline assignments that conflict with other plans you have, provided you have some availability during the peak season. Please note that no minimum number of hours per week can be guaranteed for these positions. This role is best suited for you if you want to earn extra money, particularly over the summer, but don't require a set minimum earnings level each week or month. This is a per diem position with a highly variable/customizable schedule and is based out of your home office in the US with occasional travel to school sites for professional development delivery, as needed.

• A bachelor's degree (graduate degree preferred) and at least 2 years of experience delivering successful professional development, training, and/ or consulting services (5 or more years preferred).
• Current or past teaching certification and experience in an educational environment is strongly preferred.
• Ability to work remotely and independently.
• Highly motivated, with demonstrated excellent verbal and written communication, presentation, and problem-solving skills.
