About Primavera Online School

Primavera Online School is an accredited, tuition-free public charter school serving students across Arizona for more than 25 years. We specialize in flexible, student-centered online education designed to meet learners where they are—academically, emotionally, and socially.

We believe every student deserves access to an education that adapts to their life, not the other way around. At Primavera, we support diverse learners, empower families, and partner closely with educators to create personalized learning experiences that drive real outcomes. Our work is grounded in care, accountability, and a deep commitment to helping students succeed—both in school and beyond.

As a fully remote organization, we value clear communication, collaboration, and ownership. You’ll find a mission-driven team that takes its responsibility to students seriously while supporting one another as professionals and humans.

The Team You Will Join

You’ll be part of the K-5 academics team, working closely with teachers, case managers, Academic Success Coaches, instructional coaches, and school leadership.

The team culture is collaborative, supportive, fast-paced, mission-driven, and deeply focused on closing foundational literacy gaps so every student can read proficiently and confidently.

The Difference You Will Make

In this role, your work will directly help students who are struggling with reading build the foundational skills—phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, and comprehension—they need to succeed across every subject, not just literacy.

You’ll help Primavera strengthen literacy outcomes schoolwide, support compliance with Arizona’s Move On When Reading (MOWR) requirements.

A Typical Day Looks Like

While no two days are exactly the same, you can expect to:

• Deliver daily small-group literacy intervention to students identified through MTSS as needing Tier 2 or Tier 3 support
• Focus instruction on phonemic awareness, phonics and decoding, word reading fluency, reading fluency, and comprehension
• Use DIBELS and other assessment data to identify student needs and form flexible, needs-based intervention groups
• ●Progress monitor students regularly and adjust instruction based on results
• Collaborate with classroom teachers, Academic Success Coaches, and school leadership on student progress
• Participate in MTSS meetings and intervention planning
• Maintain documentation and progress-monitoring data to support MOWR compliance

This position requires availability to work core business hours of 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Arizona time, Monday through Friday.

This role is well-suited for someone who enjoys working closely with struggling readers, believes every student can become a confident reader with the right support, and wants to see the direct, measurable impact of their work.

Your Expertise Includes

We’re looking for someone who brings:

• Valid Standard Professional Arizona Teaching Certificate
• Experience delivering small-group literacy intervention to K-5 students, including Tier 2 and Tier 3 support
• Strong working knowledge of phonemic awareness, phonics, decoding, fluency, and comprehension instruction
• Comfort using assessment and progress-monitoring data (e.g., DIBELS) to drive instructional decisions
• Strong communication and collaboration skills with teachers, staff, coaches, students and families
• Valid IVP Fingerprint Clearance Card
  
  
  

Bonus points if you also have:

• A Reading Endorsement or Reading Specialist certification
• Structured Literacy / Science of Reading training (e.g., Orton-Gillingham, Wilson Reading, LETRS)
• Experience with MTSS platforms such as Branching Minds
• Teaching experience in a virtual or online learning environment
