COME WORK WITH US
Join the Team
Do you enjoy inspiring and empowering kids? Are you comfortable with online apps and technology? Do you have a passion to share? We expect the best from our Teachers. We do not require Teacher Certification. (See How It Works and Staff Agreement below.)
If you're up for the challenge and would enjoy a flexible schedule, we encourage you to apply.

HOW IT WORKS

-
All team members are independent contractors with Inspired Virtual and will receive 1099 tax forms.
-
Inspired Virtual (a non-profit) will collect a 25% service fee for all classes/pods to coordinate schedules and provide platforms, tech apps, etc. Please take this into account when setting prices for classes.
-
Inspired Virtual operates very similar to the model offered at Outschool.com. (In fact, it's fine if you'd like to offer classes there as well.) The difference is that we try to coordinate schedules as much as possible to help ensure teachers' classes don't overlap times that might reduce class enrollment.
-
Platforms: We use Zoom (Inspired Virtual's account) or Google Meet for online meetings and classes. We recommend Canvas as a LMS to manage classes, allow submission of homework, etc. We use Slack as a group text-like communication platform.
-
Teachers/Facilitators can float class ideas on our Facebook Group to get direct feedback and gauge interest level from parents/students before planning details and posting a class.
STAFF AGREEMENT
All of our staff, including our contract teachers, facilitators, pod leaders and learning coaches, sign an agreement to promise, to the best of their ability and intention, to:
