Job Summary: The ACCESS Teacher provides web-based instruction to State of Alabama high school students.

Additional Department Summary: In order to be an ACCESS teacher, you must be certified to teach (grades 7 - 12) in the State of Alabama. Since we offer the entire high school curriculum, we are currently looking for new, enthusiastic teachers who are interested in teaching in an exciting, fully digital environment.

Teachers are expected to initiate and maintain regular contact with facilitators and students regarding student progress. Web-based instruction (WBI) teachers are expected to log in to the learning management system at least once each school day throughout any term in which they are assigned a course. At a minimum, teachers are expected to respond to student emails, provide feedback on activities, grade assignments, monitor student participation, and create or post timely announcements.
Teachers must monitor login times for students and discuss any areas of concern or irregularities with the facilitator, school administrator, or designee. News items and events must also be posted to keep students on pace and facilitators well informed of course activities and assignments. WBI teachers will preview all activities, links, and quizzes in the learning management system before assigning them to students.

These teachers must possess expertise in the specific content area and must have participated in professional development, sponsored by the providing institution, pertaining to instructional methodology and technical aspects of online course delivery. Although ACCESS teachers will ordinarily have three years of experience in Alabama, extraordinary accomplishments of an interested teacher, in some circumstances, could allow the experience requirement to be waived.
