English and Language Arts Teacher (High School)

Matchbook Learning is hiring an ELA Teacher to serve our High School students at The Match!

Who are we?

Matchbook Learning is a non-profit charter management organization in Indianapolis, Indiana who have launched a single K-8 Innovation Charter School in partnership with the Mayor’s Office and Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS). We are currently the largest K-8 in Indianapolis and #10 in the state for parent choice schools. Our innovative, award-winning blended turnaround school model, the first of its kind in the nation to be offered to schools with the highest poverty rates and needs, has already achieved extraordinary results. Now, we are excited to develop a scalable model for inner-city public education in Indianapolis. We launched our High School, The Match, in the Fall of 2024. 

Our Mission Statement:

Matchbook Learning's mission is to develop a learning community in which we continually improve student academic outcomes through personalizing to meet our individual students’ academic needs. In addition to continued growth in academic outcomes, the Matchbook Learning school will develop global citizens by providing all students experiences that help them to understand other perspectives, the world around them, and the world beyond them.

Who are we looking for?

As a Matchbook Learning teacher you will be a teacher, a project advisor and a learning facilitator. Matchbook teachers provide targeted instruction, lead discussions, coach students as they work with individualized online learning tools, and collaborate with peers to ensure high levels of student achievement. Teachers may have other duties as assigned. We believe teachers can achieve extraordinary results when their development is personalized and empowered with the aid of technology. 

Required:

• An entrepreneurial heart and mindset. Serving in a turnaround or restart school requires both the courageous vision to take on a challenge with massive potential AND the quiet humility to be willing to try, fail and try again.

• Ability to be flexible in a fast-paced, changing environment. 

Preferred

• At least two years teaching experience in an urban or low income setting.
• Demonstrated record of success in the classroom (as a classroom teacher preferred, assistant and student teaching evidence considered).
• Demonstrated understanding of how to effectively analyze student data to guide instruction.

What do we provide?

• Competitive teaching salaries, comprehensive benefits packages, and great team dynamics. 
• Consistent and effective professional development
• Laptop computer and access to technology
