Test Grading Jobs in Indiana (NOW HIRING)

Culver Academies seeks an Educational Applications Specialist to serve as the bridge between our technology systems and our campus community. In this dynamic role, you'll be the behind-the-scenes orchestrator who makes technology work seamlessly for faculty, staff, and students, ensuring new community members have immediate access to the tools they need and supporting transitions between school years.

You will collaborate directly with faculty to ensure that competency-based grading structures and LMS configurations accurately reflect how academic departments define and assess student learning. Success in this role looks like teachers who feel supported and heard, new colleagues who are fully set up and supported from day one, and platforms that work together with seamless data integrations.
