You will facilitate small-group literacy sessions at a school designed for young gaming enthusiasts, integrating phonics-based teaching, adaptive learning platforms, and personalized coaching to help K-2 learners develop the same passion for reading that they bring to gaming.
Austin provides access to live music venues, mild winter weather, scenic hill country, and a dynamic education innovation community you will join.
