Skip's Remote EdTech Jobs: March 30, 2024

Thank you for reading the EdSkipper, Skip’s newsletter about skipping from education to education-aligned careers. Every Saturday, I send out a list of curated remote jobs curated from 300+ companies each week. Premium subscribers receive access to all jobs in the Edskipper database and two additional emails a month with advice to help you apply more competitively.

Over the past two weeks, 50% of the free national jobs I’ve posted have closed less than a week after they were posted. Some of those roles closed within 2-3 days of being posted. And a few of them even closed before their stated application dates, presumably because they received far more applicants than they anticipated.

Location-specific roles are closing less quickly, though I’m seeing a lot of movement in the instructional coach/professional learning specialist roles. There are still many opportunities both nationally and in specific locations but companies have also moved to work sample and interview phases for the jobs they opened earlier in March.

Don’t forget this is the last weekend to use the launch discount to purchase a membership to Skip. This code is only available to newsletter subs: EDSKIPPER. $6 off the quarterly membership (so $30 for 3 months of jobs).

~I hope you find some fantastic jobs to apply to this weekend,

Last Week’s Poll

Last week, I asked for your on-the-ground experience with how edtech products are being implemented in your school. One person shared her frustrations, “We have so many programs but none are being used intentionally. Needs to support? Take your pick of programs from Zearn to Reflex to Istation to Khan to TutorMe to IReady. But is anyone monitoring use, developing intentional pathways and progress monitoring any of these?! Nope. Are teachers trained in their use? Also nope.”

This is my biggest concern with edtech — we purchase to solve a need but then don’t evaluate whether we’re solving that need (often because the need itself is overwhelming our time). This poses a huge risk for the edtech industry — if educators are not seeing results, schools will eventually start pulling back on new purchases or renewals. (The upside? It will take a little while to figure that out since … the evaluation tools aren’t quite there…)

It’s also an opportunity for you. When you apply to a company, share what you’re seeing on the ground and how you would, if you were hired, change that dynamic, especially creating scaleable options for schools that purchase the product but don’t have the extra funds to also purchase customer success and professional learning support.
