Teaching Positions

As a reminder, you must be working for a Montana public school district to work for Montana Digital Academy. Temporary positions like substitutes do not qualify.

Lead Teachers

Montana Digital Academy seeks LEAD TEACHERS to assist in directing course curriculum selection and development as well as teaching the first section of the course each semester. MTDA Lead Teachers work with the MTDA Assistant Director/Curriculum Director to evaluate curriculum and mind provide oversight to all sections of the course to guarantee consistent, high quality, standards-based instruction. The position may require contract work during the summer for curriculum development when needed. Positions are open until filled.

Typically, MTDA doesn’t recruit Lead Teachers externally, as we generally fill these positions with experienced online teachers that work as part of our online teacher bench. If you are interested in working for MTDA, consider applying for online teachers and credit recovery positions below.
