Instructor Opportunties

MyDistrict Virtual School seeks instructors who are committed to providing high-quality, individualized educational opportunities for the students in participating Florida districts. The virtual setting provides students the opportunity to learn when and where they want as long as they are consistently completing assignments. As their teacher, you will be asked to:

Support self-paced learning while providing one-on-one and small-group instructional opportunities on course topics
Return communication from students and families within 24 hours Monday-Friday
Document communications with students and families on provided platforms
Provide actionable feedback on submitted assignments within 48 hours of student submission Monday-Friday

MyDistrict Virtual School is a service of NEFEC. All teaching positions are contract and do not include benefits; however, transitioning to virtual education expands an educator's skill set and connects one with students from all over Florida. An instructor with MDVS must be certified in the subject area they teach online. Additionally, an online instructor position requires additional unpaid training in online facilitation and program-specific technology. All of the training will be delivered remotely and will not require travel. Finally, instructors are encouraged to attend regular professional learning on online teaching strategies.

As a virtual instructor in the MyDistrict program, the instructor is the teacher of record. Each class is delivered completely online. Synchronous instruction should be offered for students who need a little "extra" help as well as for those topics that may be a bit more difficult to understand. Expect to spend 15-20 hours per week managing a classroom, contacting students and caregivers, and grading student work while providing meaningful feedback.

MyDistrict Virtual School monitors course loads carefully to ensure that online instructors are not given more students than can effectively be served.

Contract instructors are paid three times per year for each successful student completion. Checks are issued at the end of each semester (January and July) and after any summer completions (August). Instructor fees are determined by platform and workload required and will be discussed during the virtual interview.

Teaching assignments are determined by student enrollment at the discretion of MyDistrict Virtual School administration. Students are assigned during the 180-days of the school year but may extend into summer.

Hiring Process

There are many steps to complete before a teacher is assigned students in one of the online systems. It requires the work of multiple entities following timelines that we have little control over, so please be patient if you are selected.

Step 1: Apply

Submit your application.

Step 2: Interview

Participate in a virtual interview via video meeting.

Step 3: Selection

Once selected, you will complete an application with Putnam School District that is specifically set up to ensure that you are sent information regarding fingerprinting.

Step 4: Fingerprinting

Each contract instructor must schedule and pay for their own fingerprinting through Fieldprint. The cost of fingerprinting ranges between $60 - $75. MDVS cannot accept results or fingerprints from another company, district or organization.
