Job Opportunity: Teaching Physics at IU High School Online, part-time

[Spencer Perry]

Greetings teachers of physics!

I was recently contacted by the director of the Indiana University High School Online program about an opportunity to teach part-time physics. Please see Rhonda's note below. 

Thanks

Spencer

Hello!

I just want to let everyone potentially interested in this job opportunity to know that my husband and I created the physics courses IU is using for this program last year and the year before and this is the first we’re hearing they need people. And that the coordinator for it is no longer Rebecca. 

Last year, zero kids signed up for both the AP C courses and for AP 1. Zero. Only 20 for the base physics course. This was in part due to the home schools having control over the AP classroom and not the instructors (us). There is no plan to fix this either since all of our potential students are across Indiana and to sign up for the AP courses they can’t travel to one location for testing (apparently) at the end. So the current plan is that they signed up individually through their school coordinator and we (the instructors) would have no access to AP Classroom or their AP Exam scores. 

They emailed out of the blue last month wanting College Board exam questions with keys added to the courses. We refused (because AP is proprietary and cannot be shared like that) and now they’re hiring?

This is all very odd.
