I’m seeking a part-time, remote role that aligns with my experience in education and coordination. I prefer flexible or evening hours and value meaningful, collaborative work. Organized and reliable, I thrive in roles where I can contribute consistently and grow professionally.
Camara Patton
@camarapatton
Middle school educator specializing in virtual learning, standards-based instruction, and data-informed student support.
What I'm looking for
I’m a middle school teacher focused on virtual learning that strengthens both academics and connection. At San Leandro Virtual Academy, I designed and delivered daily, standards-aligned curriculum across Social-Emotional Learning, Social Studies, and Art for diverse 6–8 grade learners, building a supportive virtual classroom community for up to 30 students.
I also bring a strong assessment and improvement mindset. I assess students regularly, analyze results through collaborative inquiry, and use that evidence to inform differentiation; I’ve worked across classroom, charter, and substitute settings (K–12). Before education, I built transferable strengths in data analysis, financial forecasting, project control, and business operations coordination.
