On‑site position: Georgetown (Austin), TX. Relocation assistance available $100,000 annual salary, full‑time role. Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage from day one Reading certification mandatory (Orton‑Gillingham, Wilson, CERI, LETRS, or equivalent) The highest‑impact intervention for a gifted six‑year‑old reading on grade level is refusing to settle for it. If you carry a structured literacy credential and have witnessed how systematic phonics transforms emerging readers, consider what becomes possible when those same methods reach children who aren't remedial—they're simply unchallenged. The result isn't modest growth. It's 5–10x acceleration. At gt.school, you deploy your complete skill set. No commercial reading program. No mandated district calendar. You facilitate small‑group early literacy sessions for gifted students aged 5–8, conduct running records, establish your own ability‑based groups, and craft each lesson around what the assessment data reveals. Adaptive technology manages content progression. Your responsibility is what software cannot replicate: guiding a select group of exceptional learners to surpass benchmarks intended for years ahead. Every student in your cohort achieves their adaptive platform targets. Over 90% provide strong satisfaction ratings. This outcome reflects what happens when a credentialed literacy specialist supports small groups of gifted children without institutional constraints. You'll observe first graders who entered at benchmark devour chapter books months ahead of schedule. That level of transformation represents what most literacy professionals hope to witness once in their career. If you possess the certification, the phonics mastery, and the belief that gifted learners require acceleration rather than lateral enrichment, submit your application today.
