Hudson Global Scholars is an online education services provider to private schools and families. We partner with schools to go online safely and efficiently. We enable schools to use their own resources and staff, backed by HGS expertise, faculty, curriculum, and technology. We present a flexible program that meets the changing needs of schools now and in the future. HGS operates a variety of accredited online schools that provide partners and families with compatible education, affiliation, and articulation.
We are seeking a full-time Teacher for Monday through Friday daytime courses.
The Hudson Global Scholars Teacher is a highly qualified and experienced educator responsible for delivering specific course content in an online learning environment. Teachers provide both live, interactive instructional sessions (via Zoom), and as well as facilitative, asynchronous instructional support to students enrolled in K-12 courses. Hudson Global Scholars administers several different types of academic programs and models (secular and faith-based), both domestically and internationally. As a result, teachers have a unique opportunity to work and interact with students across the globe within a completely virtual setting! Full-time teachers at Hudson Global Scholars collaborate within a collegial network of full and part-time colleagues that collectively meet the dynamic needs of the organization by managing caseloads of courses/sections (live and/or asynchronous) and serving as substitutes to fulfill internal teaching vacancies (planned and on-demand) throughout the year. Full-time teachers maintain a full caseload but also work with Academic Managers and department leaders to complete special projects upon request, as schedules permit (varies based on seasonal needs). It is also expected that full-time teachers serve as the content and instructional expert/point-person for their given area of subject expertise, and supply, share, and demonstrate best practices of instructional application within the field.
