Imagine Your Impact.

Are you a former teacher or school leader looking for an incredibly flexible seasonal opportunity that allows you to continue to positively impact the lives of students and teachers without being in the classroom? If so, our Seasonal Professional Development Specialist position may be exactly what you’ve been looking for! As an experienced and successful professional educator, you’ll provide content-specific support, training, and guidance to educators in the implementation of our blended and online learning programs in the K-12 environment. You’ll deliver workshops and sessions to teachers and instructional personnel on how to integrate digital solutions into their curriculum, instruction, and assessment practices, develop and modify student individualized learning paths, design classroom assessments, and run assessment reports. You’ll deliver fee-based, engaging, small and large group presentations. Workshops are delivered virtually (webinars) or onsite, based on the request by the school district.

Position Type: This is a seasonal per-diem type position that works as needed on specific assignments.

Compensation: Base pay is anticipated to be between $150.00 (half-day rate) and $550.00 (full-day rate) for delivery of professional development sessions. Other pay rates apply for preparatory work. Compensation may vary based on factors such as, but not limited to, individual skills, experience, training, education/certifications, geographic location, internal equity, and local market conditions.

Location: In this US-based position you will work from your home office and at local Philadelphia school sites. To be considered, applicants must reside in the greater Philadelphia area, or be able to travel by land to Philadelphia for a two-day training session on October 24 and 25, from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern.

Travel: For those who'd like to continue working beyond the October 24 and 25 dates, you can also expect up to approximately 10-20% travel in and around the Philadelphia, PA area, so be sure you have a valid driver’s license and automobile insurance and a clean driving record for at least the preceding 39 months.

Benefits: Eligible employees may receive the following benefits-

• 401k plan with a company match
• Flexible work schedules and work from home opportunities that foster work/life balance
• Employee referral bonuses

Envision Your Experience.

This mission-critical role provides you with maximum flexibility to work during normal business days/hours, as your schedule allows while continuing to make significant positive impact in the world of education. You'll have the opportunity to enhance your facilitation skills and product knowledge through ongoing coaching and other internal training opportunities. New hires typically receive 20-40 hours of initial, paid training, which may be delivered asynchronously and in live sessions. Once certified, work hours fluctuate based on business demands, with peak times being July through October. During these months, our Seasonal Professional Development Specialists are highly engaged and busy working during normal school hours, so we typically ask that our Seasonal Professional Development Specialists be consistently available a few days a week during this peak season. In the off-season, November through June, hours are minimal. In this role, you are free to decline assignments that conflict with other plans you have, provided you have some availability during the peak season. Please note that no minimum number of hours per week can be guaranteed for these positions. This role is best suited for you if you want to earn extra money, particularly over the summer, but doesn’t require a set minimum earnings level each week or month. This is a per diem position with a highly variable/customizable schedule and is based out of your home office in the US with travel to school sites for professional development delivery, as needed. Note: Applicants should confirm that working at Imagine Learning as Seasonal Professional Development Specialist will not breach your district's revolving door or moonlighting policies.
