Partnerships Director - Texas

About the role

Just Right Reader is a forward-thinking curriculum provider committed to advancing literacy for students from Birth through 12th Grade. Our comprehensive resources are designed to support all learners, including upper-grade students requiring additional intervention to develop foundational skills. Grounded in the Science of Reading, our high-quality materials and tools equip educators with the support they need to accelerate achievement and foster lifelong readers.

The Partnerships Director role is for current or former principals, assistant principals, or district-level administrators who want to continue making a difference in literacy from a new angle.
