  • Prepare and distribute quarterly progress reports in coordination with report cards

  • Attend and contribute to parent-teacher conferences

Program Implementation & Collaboration
  • Utilize Direct Instruction (DI) programs whenever applicable for intervention

  • When DI is not applicable, maintain fidelity to school-approved programs aligned with Core Knowledge

  • Refrain from introducing or developing new curriculum without proper review and approval

  • Collaborate closely with fellow Reading Specialists and classroom teachers to ensure instructional consistency and alignment

Additional Responsibilities
  • Support school operations through supplemental duties as assigned by the Assistant Directors

  • Contribute to a collaborative, team-oriented environment focused on student success

Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree or certification in reading, literacy, or a related field preferred

  • Minimum of 3 years of experience in a similar role preferred

  • Strong organizational, planning, and time management skills

  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities
