Position at Imagine Learning
Great Purpose. Great People.
At Imagine Learning we ignite learning breakthroughs. It drives everything we do. We innovate together to support educators in creating those special moments when students experience the joy of learning at its best. We serve more than 10 million students and partner with more than 7,500 school districts nationwide.
Envision Your Experience - Seasonal/Part-Time Professional Development Specialist
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 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.
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 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 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 (must be in the U.S.). You can expect to travel up to 10-20% for delivery of professional development programs, 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.
Imagine Learning offers competitive total compensation, including incentive opportunities for all regular employees.
