6th Grade Flex Teacher

Middle School — Departmentalized

1 Positions Available — Grades 6  |  Salary Range: $51,500 - $83,000  |  Full-Time

  

At Matchbook Learning, our vision is simple: every child is known, loved, and flourishing. We are a tuition-free public charter school proudly rooted in the Hallville neighborhood of Indianapolis, serving K–8 students at Wendell Phillips School 63. Our students come with high needs and extraordinary potential — and our staff shows up every day to meet both.

 

Half of our student population are Multilingual Learners. We serve students with a wide range of learning needs and we are proud to be in this community. You will be surrounded by a visible, supportive administration, a strong instructional coaching team, a dedicated MLL director, a large restorative team, and colleagues who put kids first.

  

We are hiring one 6th Grade  Flex Teacher. This is a unique, high-impact role for educators who thrive on using data, reinforcing skills, and meeting students exactly where they are.

 

In the flex room, you will reinforce ELA writing skills using school-provided rubrics and materials, and math skills using Envision Math, Practice Buddy, and MathXL. Student data from these platforms is turned around quickly — your role is to target what the data tells you, track skill progression, and close gaps in real time.

 

This role is ideal for candidates with a background in science, social studies, ELA, or math who are willing and excited to step outside their primary content area. We will coach you completely. All materials are provided — you simply internalize them and execute with excellence.

  

• Deliver ELA writing skill reinforcement using school-provided rubrics, writing frameworks, and materials — 100% curriculum fidelity
• Deliver math skill reinforcement using Envision Math, Practice Buddy, and MathXL platforms
• Analyze platform data regularly to identify which skills need targeting and reinforcement
• Track student skill progression in both ELA and math and communicate results to grade-level teachers
• Participate in weekly/bi-weekly data meetings to align flex instruction with core classroom priorities
• Implement SIOP-aligned strategies to support Multilingual Learners during all flex instruction
• Maintain a structured, positive environment using PBIS and restorative practices
• Participate in coaching cycles, professional development, and instructional feedback sessions
• Build relationships with students through conferencing and consistent daily presence
• Communicate with families and contribute to school-wide culture and competency structures

  

Required:

• Bachelor's degree in any field — science, social studies, math, and ELA backgrounds all strongly welcome
• Willingness to teach outside your primary content area — full coaching and support are provided
• Valid Indiana teaching license OR enrolled in / willing to enroll in a state-approved transition-to-teaching program
• Comfort with data and technology platforms (training provided)
• Genuine growth mindset and openness to coaching and feedback

 

Preferred:

• Experience working with middle school-aged students
• Familiarity with Envision Math, MathXL, Practice Buddy, or similar platforms
• Experience in writing instruction, content-area literacy, or intervention
• Bilingual (English/Spanish) a plus

  

Matchbook Learning invests deeply in its teachers. Our professional development is intentional, ongoing, and directly connected to what happens in classrooms every day. You will receive:

 

• Weekly or bi-weekly data cycles — every teacher always knows exactly where students are and what comes next
• Structured coaching and feedback from instructional coaches and a highly visible administration
• SIOP-aligned training to effectively teach and support our large Multilingual Learner population
• Robust bilingual support throughout the school — bilingual staff, resources, and systems to fully serve our Spanish-speaking students and families
• Classroom management systems, PBIS support, and positive behavior reinforcement frameworks
• Student conferencing structures — building authentic relationships with every student
• Morning circle coaching and support (K-8) launching 2026-2027
• PGP credits available for license renewal
• Full support for educators enrolled in, or willing to enroll in, a state-approved transition-to-teaching program

 

You will not go it alone. Our leadership and support structure includes:

 

• Assistant Principal of Academics & Tier 1 Instructional Systems
• Assistant Principal of Student Supports & Tier 3 Behavior
• Two School Counselors
• Director of Competency-Based Learning
• Data & Assessment Coordinator

• Engagement & Events Coordinator
• Instructional Coaches embedded throughout the school
• Two MLL Academic Specialists providing push-in support for Multilingual Learners
• Special Education Coordinator and a large, dedicated Special Education team
• Instructional Assistant dedicated to producing and collecting materials for teachers

  

All students K–8 at Matchbook Learning receive Music, Physical Education, PLTW (Project Lead The Way), and College & Career Readiness classes as part of their school day. Our students graduate eighth grade having already chosen a career pathway — entering high school with purpose, direction, and skills ready for today's workforce.

    

• A genuine growth mindset — you welcome coaching, feedback, and continuous improvement
• 100% curriculum fidelity — materials are provided. You internalize and execute them with excellence. You do not produce your own materials.
• Proactive, authentic family communication — you build real relationships with parents and guardians
• Reliability and attendance — your students and teammates count on you
• Commitment to knowing every student as an individual
• Enrolled in, or willingness to enroll in, a state-approved transition-to-teaching program if not yet fully licensed
