Secondary Reading Interventionist Teacher

FREMONT COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT #14

The Secondary Reading Interventionist/English Intervention Teacher exists to ensure that all secondary students, particularly those experiencing reading and writing skill gaps, receive targeted, evidence-based literacy support that enables them to access grade-level curriculum, graduate prepared, and succeed beyond high school. This position strengthens the district's commitment to equitable access, academic achievement, and culturally responsive education by providing focused literacy intervention aligned to secondary English Language Arts standards and cross-content literacy demands.

• Close persistent reading and writing gaps
• Increase student confidence and engagement
• Improve content-area comprehension
• Support graduation readiness
• Strengthen intervention systems (RTI/MTSS) at the secondary level
