MATCHBOOK LEARNING
Wendell Phillips School 63 | Indianapolis, Indiana
Middle School 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.
