Why OpenEd? OpenEd is a leading provider of personalized K–12 educational programs, partnered with innovative public school districts to offer tuition-free, flexible learning plans. We empower students and families to tailor their educational experiences while fostering curiosity, independence, and lifelong learning.
What sets the Washington Role Apart? Washington OpenEd Teachers focus on deep, individualized student support, helping students set and work toward personal learning goals while closely monitoring their progress throughout the year. You'll prepare monthly progress reports for families, review and grade student learning logs, and track participation in designated subject areas. If you're certified in multiple states and weighing your options, choose Washington if you prefer a role built around mentorship and progress monitoring over daily live instruction.
- Your Role OpenEd Teachers play a key role in supporting students through their educational journey.
- You'll work closely with students and families to provide encouragement, accountability, and individualized support, helping students stay engaged, on track, and connected to their learning experience.
- All OpenEd Teachers share the same core role regardless of certification or endorsement area.

- You may also take on additional responsibilities, such as tutoring or small-group instruction, based on program needs.
- Expect regular synchronous work with students, ongoing communication with families, active support of individualized learning goals, and consistent monitoring of student participation and progress.
- This is a non-traditional teaching role that emphasizes mentorship, flexibility, personalized support, and ongoing student engagement rather than a single classroom or fixed course load.
