Remote Secondary ASL Teacher with MiaPrep Online High School

MiaPrep Online High School is seeking a Secondary ASL Teacher for a fully remote, asynchronous teaching role. Teachers at MOHS do not create lesson plans or deliver live classes. Instead, they guide students through a self-paced curriculum on MiaPrep.com, providing coaching, small-group tutoring, and in-depth feedback on summative assignments.

Instruction and Grading

Core instructional responsibilities include becoming familiar with the structured student learning path — which encompasses lesson videos, guided practice worksheets, and ASL assessments — and evaluating student video submissions using provided rubrics. Teachers are expected to:

• Evaluate expressive video assignments and comprehension tasks using provided grading rubrics to ensure consistency and alignment with curriculum goals
• Deliver clear, supportive, and accurate written feedback that helps students reflect, revise, and develop their ASL skills, referencing lesson content where appropriate
• Host weekly virtual group tutoring sessions — one or more times per week — to clarify curriculum concepts, address student questions, and provide additional support on ASL topics and assignments

Academic Advising

In addition to instructional duties, each teacher maintains an academic advising caseload of up to 20 students. This includes:

• Conducting quarterly check-ins with each advisee
• Identifying struggling students and, together with Academic Counselors and Student Support Specialists, proactively providing tiered support solutions to enhance academic performance
• Serving as the primary point of contact for parents and students on academic matters within the subject area

School Culture and Additional Responsibilities

Teachers are expected to participate actively in school initiatives, contribute to the creation and implementation of school-wide academic policies, and lead or contribute to an extracurricular club or activity. All MOHS staff are designated mandated reporters and are required to respond to student safety and mental health concerns in accordance with MOHS Crisis Response protocols. This includes completing required training and, when appropriate, administering the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) and following all documentation and escalation procedures.

Schedule

The position requires 40 hours of availability per week on a year-round basis. Availability between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, in a U.S. time zone — Eastern, Central, Mountain, or Pacific — is required for office hours, student meetings, and other school activities. A significant portion of the work, such as grading, can be completed outside of those hours.

Career Growth and Company Culture
