Reading Interventionist, gt.school - $100,000/year USD

• On-site position: Georgetown (Austin), TX. Support for relocation is available
• Annual salary $100,000, full-time. Medical, dental, and vision coverage begin day one
• Certification in reading instruction required (Wilson, Orton-Gillingham, LETRS, CERI, or equivalent)
  
  

The most effective support for a gifted six-year-old reading at grade level is refusing to treat that as enough. If you carry a structured literacy credential and have spent years observing how systematic phonics unlocks early readers, consider what becomes possible when those same techniques reach children who aren't behind—just unchallenged. The outcome isn't incremental improvement. It's acceleration by a factor of 5–10.

At gt.school, you use your complete skill set. No mandated basal programs. No district pacing maps. You facilitate targeted early literacy workshops for gifted children aged 5–8, conduct running records, organize flexible instructional groups based on need, and build every session around what assessment data reveals. Adaptive platforms manage content delivery. Your responsibility is what technology cannot replicate: guiding a small group of high-ability learners to surpass standards they weren't expected to meet for years.

Every student reaches their adaptive platform targets. Over 90% provide strong satisfaction ratings. This is the result when a credentialed literacy specialist supports small cohorts of gifted children without systemic obstacles. You'll observe first graders who entered at benchmark independently reading chapter books. That level of growth is what most reading professionals hope to witness once in a career.

If you hold the credential, possess deep phonics knowledge, and believe gifted learners deserve true acceleration rather than lateral enrichment, submit your application.

What You Will Be Doing

• Facilitating targeted phonics workshops for gifted students in grades K–2, designing each session from assessment outcomes rather than scripted materials
• Conducting running records, evaluating reading proficiency, and organizing flexible instructional groups independently
• Delivering 1:1 and small-group coaching sessions that leverage school incentives, progress tracking, and personal rapport to motivate achievement in adaptive applications
• Monitoring live student performance within adaptive platforms and adjusting instruction as data shifts
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Delivering whole-class lectures. Learning happens through independent adaptive applications, not teacher-led presentations
• Overseeing large groups of 25 or more. Your work centers on small cohorts of gifted students
• Adhering to district timelines or preparing students for state assessments
• Teaching content areas outside literacy (math, science, and social studies are not included)
• Drafting IEPs, attending compliance meetings, or managing district-level administrative procedures
