What if the path to early reading success lies in connecting with young students through gaming culture, where progression, resilience, and skill-building already feel intuitive?
NextGen Academy is a school purpose-built for children who are passionate about gaming. Learning happens through adaptive technology, with adults serving as mentors and facilitators. Reading represents the area where elementary students most often require direct, personal support—and that's your role.
You will take ownership of small-group literacy instruction for students in grades K-2. Your approach will combine structured literacy techniques with adaptive applications that monitor each child's development continuously. If a student struggles with phonemic decoding, you intervene. When a breakthrough occurs, you acknowledge it. Your groups remain small enough to know every learner's reading ability, preferences, and motivational triggers.
The outcome is witnessing students who once struggled with foundational sounds begin to read books independently—and doing so in an environment where "leveling up" holds meaning both digitally and academically.
Lead learning. Love growing. Apply now.
What you will be doing
- Create and facilitate small-group literacy workshops for K-2 learners, making phonics instruction engaging, interactive, and tailored to individual needs
- Modify your teaching approach dynamically in response to student performance, comprehension levels, and engagement signals
- Conduct motivational sessions with students to promote progress in adaptive literacy platforms and support achievement of learning milestones
- Track student performance metrics from adaptive software and apply this data to personalize instruction for each reading cohort
- Employ storytelling, humor, gaming metaphors, and encouraging feedback to sustain student effort and address reluctance
What you will NOT be doing
- Delivering lectures to a full classroom — learning occurs through self-paced apps and your targeted small-group sessions, not traditional instruction
- Overseeing a full class of 25+ students — your focus is on small reading groups where each student receives direct attention
- Adhering to a fixed, commercial curriculum — you create your own literacy sessions informed by live student performance data
- Facilitating esports or teaching social-emotional skills — your specialty is reading instruction, with an exclusive focus on literacy development
- Struggling against outdated pedagogical systems — this institution was designed from the start to integrate adaptive technology and active student engagement
Key responsibilities
Support K-2 students in achieving significant reading gains through targeted small-group instruction and adaptive software within a gaming-inspired school environment where students are excited to attend daily.
