Please watch the video below to best prepare you for submitting your demo lesson.
This is EXACTLY what we're looking for in a teacher. Every live lesson you will teach will be via Zoom and using an interactive Nearpod lesson. Therefore, your demo lesson needs to show you are able to utilize Zoom, share screens, and be able to launch Nearpod codes and teach pre-written curriculum effectively.
Being an independent contractor means you can follow directions independently and you do not need hand-holding in order to complete the job. We will always be here to answer questions and resources will always be available! However, we are looking for self-starters and self-sufficiency.
