Virtual Reading Specialist, Unbound Academy; Remote

Overview

Unbound is a remote‑first online school designed for authentic progress, not compliance with seat time. We are reconstructing the learning model so students advance more quickly, engage meaningfully, and graduate with measurable confidence.

• Plan and facilitate virtual small‑group and individual reading intervention sessions for students in grades 3–8.
• Leverage reading assessment data to pinpoint fluency and comprehension deficits and modify instruction promptly.
• Adapt activities for varied reading levels, including accommodations for dyslexia and related reading challenges.
• Monitor progress with clarity and consistency, using data to inform subsequent session planning.
• Conduct structured motivation check‑ins designed to strengthen confidence, persistence, and ownership of growth.

• Deliver large, whole‑class instruction or present from a rigid curriculum.
• Execute a pre‑written program without responding to student needs and immediate feedback.
• Serve as a passive "software monitor" lacking substantive instruction and student connection.
• Depend on superficial incentives that fail to cultivate enduring motivation.

Take ownership of outcomes for grades 3–8—quantifiable improvements in fluency and comprehension—through personalized virtual interventions and motivational support that cultivates confidence.

• Bachelor's degree in education, literacy, or a closely related field.
• Reading intervention certification or endorsement (e.g., Arizona Reading Specialist K‑12 or equivalent state certification).

• At least 2 years of experience delivering small‑group or one‑on‑one reading interventions for students in grades 3–8.
• Experience supporting students with dyslexia or related reading difficulties.
• Ability to interpret progress monitoring data and use it to plan and adjust instruction.
• Strong ability to engage and manage students in a virtual setting through clear, motivating communication.
• Available to work in a hybrid capacity in Arizona as needed.
