Freelance Blog Content Writer: Math

We are looking for educational content writers for thirdspacelearning.com/us/blog on topics such as:

• math problems
• differentiated instruction
• tape diagram
• rote memorization
• instructional strategies
• classroom management strategies

At Third Space Learning, we pride ourselves on our pedagogy-rich, evidenced-informed and well-structured content. While we already have a team of resource providers, we are now looking for an individual who can help take our blog to the next level in terms of the topics we cover and the impact we have on teachers and school leaders seeking guidance and inspiration on teaching, learning and leadership.

We are looking for someone who can share their passion and expertise for math and learning. As a freelance Blog Content Writer, you will be working on articles targeted towards one of two key audiences:

Many articles we commission will require experience teaching math and a deep knowledge of the Common Core or equivalent state standards.

Ideally, we are looking for working teachers (including part-time teachers), who can complete these tasks in addition to their teaching, or someone who has recently left the profession. Hours are flexible and can be worked whenever suits you, as long as the work is completed by the given deadline.

Responsibilities:
