OPPORTUNITY

The Part-time Literacy Teacher Instructional Coach will have an exciting opportunity to strengthen literacy instruction, develop educators, and improve student outcomes across Camden, NJ. This role is ideal for an experienced educator or instructional leader who is passionate about coaching teachers, advancing equitable literacy instruction, and exploring innovative approaches to teaching and learning.

The Coach will partner with K–12 educators to strengthen the implementation of high-quality literacy instruction, including foundational reading skills, knowledge-building, reading comprehension, and support for striving readers. Depending on their expertise and partner needs, coaches may work with elementary, secondary, or a combination of grade levels.
