Multisensory Reading Specialist, GT School - $100,000/year USD

The most supportive thing you can do for a gifted six-year-old reading at grade level is refuse to accept it. If you hold a structured literacy certification and you've spent years watching phonics instruction transform early readers, imagine what happens when you apply those methods to kids who aren't struggling, they're just coasting. They don't just improve, they accelerate 5–10x. At gt.school, you finally get to use your full training. No basal reader. No district-mandated scope and sequence. You run small-group early literacy workshops for gifted 5–8-year-olds, pull running records, form your own differentiated groups, and design every lesson from what the data tells you. Adaptive software handles content delivery. Your job is the part no app can do: coaching a small cohort of brilliant kids to blow past benchmarks they were never supposed to hit this year. 100% of your students hit their adaptive software goals. 90%+ rate you highly on surveys. That's what happens when a certified literacy expert works with small groups of gifted children and nothing gets in the way. You'll watch first graders who came in at grade level start devouring chapter books. That's the transformation most literacy coaches spend a career hoping to see once. If you have the certification, the phonics expertise, and the conviction that gifted kids deserve acceleration, not enrichment at the same old pace, What You Will Be Doing Running small-group multisensory phonics workshops for gifted K–2 students, with every lesson built from student data instead of a scripted curriculum Pulling running records, assessing reading levels, and forming your own differentiated instructional groups Coaching 1:1 and small-group motivation sessions using school currency, leaderboards, and personal connection to drive stretch goals in adaptive apps Tracking real-time student progress in adaptive learning software and pivoting instruction when the data moves What You Won’t Be Doing Lecturing in front of a classroom. Students learn through self-guided apps, not passive instruction Managing 25+ students.
