What if the path to reading success for young children lies in connecting with them through gaming culture—an environment where leveling up, persistence, and achieving mastery already feel intuitive?
NextGen Academy is a school designed specifically for students passionate about gaming. Learning happens through adaptive software, with adults serving as coaches and facilitators. Many young learners require the most direct support in reading, and that's your focus.
You will manage small-group reading instruction for students in grades K-2. Your approach combines structured literacy techniques with adaptive applications that monitor each student's progress continuously. When decoding challenges arise, you pivot. When breakthroughs happen, you acknowledge them. Group sizes allow you to understand every child's reading ability, personal interests, and motivational drivers.
The payoff is seeing students who once struggled with basic phonics begin to read voraciously—and doing so in a school where "leveling up" carries meaning inside the classroom, not just in games.
Lead learning. Love growing. Apply now.
What you will be doing
- Create and facilitate small-group reading sessions for K-2 learners, making phonics instruction engaging, enjoyable, and tailored to individuals
- Modify instruction dynamically according to student needs, reading proficiency levels, and behavioral signals
- Conduct motivational conversations with students to promote progress in adaptive literacy platforms and reach educational milestones
- Track student performance data generated by adaptive software and leverage it to customize instruction for each group
- Apply storytelling techniques, humor, gaming references, and positive feedback to sustain student effort and address reluctance
What you will NOT be doing
- Presenting lectures to a full classroom — students engage with self-directed apps and participate in your small-group sessions, not passive lessons
- Overseeing a traditional class of 25+ students — your work centers on targeted reading groups where every learner receives focused attention
- Adhering to a fixed, commercial curriculum — you craft your own reading activities informed by live student performance data
- Managing esports teams or teaching social-emotional skills — your role is reading specialist, dedicated solely to literacy development
- Working against outdated educational practices — this school was purpose-built around adaptive technology and active student involvement
Key responsibilities
Support K-2 students in achieving significant reading gains through small-group instruction and adaptive software in a gaming-inspired school where students are excited to attend each day.
