What if the pathway to reading success for young children is found by connecting with them through gaming culture—a space where leveling up, persistence, and mastery already resonate?
NextGen Academy is a school purpose-built for students who are passionate about gaming. Learning takes place through adaptive software, with adults serving as coaches and mentors. Reading instruction is where younger students often require the most direct, hands-on guidance—and that's your domain.
You will be responsible for small-group reading instruction focused on K-2 students. Your approach will combine structured literacy practices with adaptive applications that monitor each student's real-time progress. When a student struggles with decoding, you intervene. When a student achieves a breakthrough, you recognize it. Group sizes are intentionally small, allowing you to understand each child's reading level, interests, and unique motivators.
The outcome is seeing students who once struggled with letter sounds begin to read books with confidence—all within a school where "leveling up" carries meaning inside the classroom, not only on a screen.
Lead learning. Love growing. Apply now.
What you will be doing
- Create and facilitate small-group reading workshops for K-2 students, ensuring phonics instruction is engaging, fun, and tailored to individual needs
- Adjust your teaching approach in the moment based on student engagement, reading levels, and emerging needs within the group
- Conduct motivational check-ins with students to support progress in adaptive literacy applications and help them reach learning milestones
- Track student performance using data from adaptive software and apply it to customize instruction for every reading group
- Employ storytelling, humor, gaming comparisons, and positive encouragement to sustain student effort and reduce resistance
What you will NOT be doing
- Delivering lectures to a full classroom — learning happens through self-directed apps and your focused small-group sessions, not passive listening
- Overseeing a class of 25+ students — your work centers on small reading groups where each student receives individualized attention
- Adhering to a fixed, off-the-shelf curriculum — you build your own reading sessions informed by live student data
- Teaching esports or social-emotional skills — your role is as a reading specialist, dedicated entirely to literacy development
- Fighting against outdated instructional models — this school was designed around adaptive technology and active student engagement from the start
