This is not a traditional teaching role. This position is part of Odyssey Charter School's launch of Delaware's first Career Pathways Microschool in Computer Science and Digital Design-a reimagined high school experience built on real-world learning, flexible structures, and student-driven work. Educators in this microschool serve as facilitators, mentors, and designers of authentic learning experiences rather than delivering instruction through conventional class periods.

With a unique schedule that prioritizes deep work, collaboration, and project-based learning, this role centers on guiding students through hands-on, industry-aligned projects in coding, digital design, and emerging technologies. Students will build portfolios, solve real problems, and engage in meaningful work that extends beyond the classroom.

• Design and implement project-based, interdisciplinary learning experiences that are aligned to real-world applications in coding, digital design, and emerging technologies
• Serve as a facilitator, mentor, and coach, guiding students through inquiry, problem-solving, and long-term projects rather than delivering instruction through traditional lecture-based methods
• Support students in developing portfolios of authentic work that demonstrate mastery of technical skills, creativity, and critical thinking
• Utilize flexible scheduling structures to promote deep work, collaboration, and personalized learning pathways for students
• Build strong relationships with students to support goal setting, progress monitoring, and postsecondary readiness in career pathways related to computer science and digital design
• Participate in required summer professional learning, including coaching training and microschool model development, to prepare for successful program implementation
• Collaborate with colleagues, industry partners, and school leadership to design innovative learning experiences and continuously improve the microschool model
