Young children often connect more deeply with gaming culture—where progression, persistence, and achievement are core—than with traditional learning environments. This role brings reading instruction into that world.
You will facilitate small-group literacy sessions at a school designed around the interests of young gamers, combining phonics methods, adaptive digital tools, and direct coaching to help K-2 students develop the same passion for reading they already have for games.
Austin provides year-round access to live music, mild winters, scenic hill country, and a growing community of education innovators—one you will be part of.
