Education-Related Leads for Mon, Nov 14

Education

• Freelance K-5 writer/editor of interactive material (This one and the next are Quarasan virtual listings. They have a couple of freelance positions based in Chicago as well)
• On-site Freelance ELL/ESL Editor, K-12 (Says on-site, but listed as virtual)
• Middle-School Math Teacher/Curriculum Designer at Airy Labs (I can't tell if telecommute is an option. It might be)

Business

Okay, so I didn't find much, but I did come across a new name through this post: Curriculum/Writer Instructional Designer (Raleigh - Downtown). The company is GCFLearnFree.org. This position is full-time, but they look like they might be a decent prospect for the future. 

Here's another I hadn't come across before: Anaxos: An Educational Media Company. Their contact info says

"We are always looking for experienced freelance writers, editors, copy editors, proofreaders, indexers, and designers. If you would like to be considered for upcoming assignments at Anaxos, please send an email outlining your experience and your resume to: jobs@anaxosinc.com"

Good luck,
