Mentor Teacher (K–12) – Candidate Pool

At Sheridan AllPrep Academy, we believe education should meet students where they are - academically, socially, and emotionally. Our model blends flexibility, family partnership, and personalized learning to support the whole child.

 

We are building a candidate pool for future Mentor Teacher openings and invite educators who are excited to step beyond a traditional classroom role into one centered on relationships, mentorship, and individualized student support.

About the Role

The Mentor Teacher is a student-centered educator who supports K–12 students and their families in a largely remote learning environment. Rather than focusing primarily on direct instruction, this role emphasizes mentorship, progress monitoring, and partnership with families to ensure students stay engaged, supported, and on track.

 

Mentor Teachers maintain regular communication with students and parents, provide academic guidance and resources, and help students build independence, organization, and time management skills.

• Communicate regularly with families through calls, messages, and conferences
• Track attendance, maintain student records, and complete required documentation
• Collaborate with staff to support student success, including special education needs
• Participate in required meetings, trainings, and school events
• Ensure student safety, well-being, and compliance with school policies

What We’re Looking For

• A relationship-driven educator who enjoys working closely with students and families
• Strong communication skills and the ability to engage students in a virtual setting
• Comfort with flexibility, problem-solving, and adapting to student needs
• Ability to support students across a range of grade levels (K–12)
• Confidence using technology and troubleshooting basic technical issues
• A commitment to student success, independence, and whole-child development

Qualifications

• Valid Oregon Teaching License with appropriate endorsement
• Bachelor’s degree (required); Master’s degree preferred
• Experience working with students in an educational setting
• Strong understanding of child development and instructional practices
• Reliable transportation for required in-person meetings and visits
• Ability to work both remotely and independently
  
  

Work Environment

This role is primarily remote and includes:

• Daily computer-based instruction and communication
• Virtual interaction with students, families, and staff
• Occasional in-person responsibilities as needed
  
  

Why Join SHAPA?

• Be part of an innovative, student-centered learning model
• Build meaningful relationships with students and families
• Collaborate with a supportive and mission-driven team
• Make a direct impact on student growth and success
