About K12 Coalition

K12 Coalition provides products and services that help K-12 schools and teachers achieve transformational learning outcomes. We tackle many of today’s toughest education challenges, including teacher recruitment and retention, student learning acceleration, ongoing teacher coaching and development, long-range strategic planning, and school equity audits. K12 Coalition came together when passionate educators with deep experience as teachers, school leaders, and high-level district administrators saw a genuine need for something better. Our divisions include iteach, Passage Preparation, Teaching Channel, Insight Education Group and Lavinia Group.

About iteach

iteach is a competency-based educator preparation program helping to fill the void the nation faces with the unprecedented teacher shortage. iteach enables paraprofessionals, substitute teachers, and others seeking to become teachers to get the affordable, time-saving education they need to become licensed. Our program combines the convenience of online learning with a full year of face-to-face mentorship during a teaching residency. Notably, iteach is the only non-university educator preparation program to achieve accreditation from the Council for Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP).

About Passage Preparation

Passage Preparation has curated a network of experienced educators who have partnered with us to develop comprehensive courses that mirror the actual exam. The experiences in the course are designed to solidify candidates’ understanding of the content and increase their confidence. Our courses embed opportunities to practice formative assessments and summative assessments. We maintain engagement throughout the content with instructional activities that support mastery of complex concepts. We keep teachers at the center of our work, and because of that, we make sure that our courses are not only affordable but also a high-quality resource for licensure exams.

Location: While this role can be performed remotely, candidates based near our iteach office in Denton, TX, may have a logistical advantage due to proximity to the office and potential travel requirements.

Additionally, occasional travel to our other K12 offices in Charlottesville, VA, and Eagan, MN may be needed for team offsites and broader company events. Travel will vary depending on business needs and team priorities.
