Serve as the engaging, high-energy adult your K-3 students anticipate seeing every day

Serving as a reading consultant, coach to other teachers, or district-level specialist; you are classroom-based with children every day
Running a traditional classroom schedule: subject-by-subject lectures, homework review, test preparation. Your scheduled blocks consist of workshops, motivation sessions, and data-driven small groups instead
