Construct K-12 scenarios spanning curriculum design, multi-stakeholder IEP/504 planning, and complex district budget or policy review cycles. Build education tasks across instructional design, classroom differentiation, special education, assessment, standards alignment, student support services, and family/community engagement. Develop education operations scenarios using tools like PowerSchool, Canvas/Google Classroom, state assessment platforms, and district-level MTSS/RTI systems. Apply K-12 pedagogical frameworks such as Universal Design for Learning, standards-based grading, data-driven instruction, and restorative practices to produce reference lesson plans, IEP documentation, and administrator-level communications. Author rubrics that distinguish authentic K-12 educator judgment from generic pedagogical or textbook recall.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
