What are the responsibilities and job description for the Academic Interventionist position at The Owl Education Group?
Position Overview
Are you an educator who loves the "puzzle" of lesson planning? Do you find joy in taking a complex concept—whether it’s a multi-step algebraic equation or a structured five-paragraph essay—and breaking it down into a clear, creative roadmap for a student?
We are seeking an Academic Interventionist who is passionate about the craft of teaching. We aren't looking for someone to just "help with homework"; we want a specialist who loves designing personalized learning experiences. While we support students across all subjects, we have a particular soft spot for educators who love teaching both math and literacy.
Key Responsibilities
- Custom Lesson Design: Go beyond the textbook. You will design and implement creative, multi-sensory lesson plans tailored to each student's unique learning profile (ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Autism, etc.).
- Targeted Intervention: Provide 1:1 support in Literacy, Writing, and/or Math, focusing on building foundational skills and executive functioning.
- Relationship-Based Coaching: Build deep trust with students, meeting them where they are emotionally and academically to foster confidence and persistence.
- Progress Tracking: Maintain detailed session notes and communicate insights effectively with families and our collaborative team.
What You Bring to the Table
- The "Planner" Mindset: You genuinely enjoy the prep work. You thrive on organizing information and creating materials that make sense to a neurodiverse brain.
- Writing & Math Enthusiast: You have a strong command of the writing process and then can then switch and teach fractions.
- Experience: Minimum 2–3 years of experience in a classroom, tutoring, or specialized clinical setting.
- Affirming Approach: You are committed to neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-informed practices. You see a student’s "behavior" as communication and respond with empathy.
- Education: Bachelor’s degree required (Education, Special Ed, English, or Psychology preferred).
Why Join Us?
- Autonomy & Creativity: You have the freedom to plan lessons that actually work for the human being sitting in front of you.
- Collaborative Culture: Work within a mission-driven team that values professional growth and "happy dances" over minor milestones.
- Focused Environment: Conduct meaningful work in a supportive, distraction-free setting in our Boulder office.
