This is an exciting opportunity for experienced science teachers who are ready to step outside of the traditional classroom, but still have the desire to deliver meaningful, high-impact learning to classes of up to 16 students. Based in our Head Office in Sheffield, you will work with a team of like-minded educators to plan and deliver engaging online science lessons for students to access both live and independently.

-
The Deep (Hull) for biology, geography, and maths lessons.

The Butterfly House for ecology and cross-curricular English.
-
Staffordshire War Museum for history and science lessons.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a tech-savvy educator with a flair for creating fun and interesting learning experiences, whilst enjoying an excellent work-life balance.
Teachers at EDClass have a daily schedule that incorporates: live teaching sessions with classes of up to 16 students; curriculum time for planning and creating content for students to access independently; time to plan for filming on-location and to request edits on footage already filmed; marking and providing feedback to students on their work; CPD for areas of development.

“Since EDClass has been implemented at Merrill Academy, we have seen an increase in student engagement when they are unable to attend the Academy. It has been an invaluable resource within our SEND and safeguarding teams as some students who have struggled to access the academy, have had work provided during their difficult periods. This has meant that they did not develop meaningful gaps in their education so could reintegrate easily.” – Adele Chilton, Merrill Academy.
