Literacy Coach, gt.school - $100,000/year USD

On-site position: Georgetown (Austin), TX. Relocation assistance available$100,000 annual salary, full-time. Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage from day oneReading certification required (Orton-Gillingham, Wilson, CERI, LETRS, or equivalent)The most impactful intervention for a gifted six-year-old reading at grade level is declining to settle for it. If you carry a structured literacy certification and have witnessed phonics instruction reshape beginning readers over multiple years, consider what occurs when those same methods reach children who aren't challenged—just unchallenged. The result isn't incremental growth, it's 5–10x acceleration.At gt.school, you apply your complete skill set. No basal readers. No mandated district scope and sequence. You lead small-group early literacy sessions for gifted 5–8-year-olds, conduct running records, organize your own differentiated groupings, and build every lesson from data insights. Adaptive technology manages content delivery. Your role centers on what software cannot replicate: guiding a small group of exceptional students to surpass benchmarks they weren't expected to meet until much later.Every one of your students achieves their adaptive software targets. Over 90% rate your instruction highly in surveys. This outcome emerges when a certified literacy specialist works with small groups of gifted learners without barriers. You'll see first graders who entered at grade level begin consuming chapter books independently. That level of transformation is what most literacy coaches hope to witness once in their entire career.If you hold the certification, possess phonics expertise, and believe gifted children deserve acceleration rather than enrichment at a conventional pace, submit your application now.What You Will Be DoingLeading small-group phonics sessions for gifted K–2 learners, building each lesson from student performance data rather than scripted materialsConducting running records, evaluating reading levels, and creating your own differentiated instructional groupingsDelivering 1:1 and small-group motivational coaching using school currency, leaderboards, and personal rapport to encourage ambitious goals in adaptive platformsMonitoring live student progress in adaptive learning systems and adjusting instruction as data shiftsWhat You Won’t Be DoingDelivering lectures to a full classroom.
