Science of Reading | Structured Literacy | K-8 Coaching | MTSS
Strong readers start with well-supported teachers.
Every child who learns to read well has a teacher who knew exactly what to teach next and how to teach it. The Center for Student Achievement Solutions (CSAS) is hiring full-time Literacy Coaches to give K-8 teachers that support, side by side in their classrooms, every week.
About CSAS
Since 2012, CSAS has partnered with schools and districts to put the Science of Reading into daily practice through structured literacy, MTSS, job-embedded coaching, and leadership development.

Our work is rooted in equity, excellence, and results, so every student, especially those furthest from opportunity, becomes a proficient reader.
The Role
As a Literacy Coach, you will provide onsite, job-embedded coaching to K-8 teachers and partner with school leaders to strengthen core instruction and intervention.

- Analyze screening, diagnostic, and progress-monitoring data, such as Acadience and iReady, to plan targeted Tier 1, 2, and 3 support

What You Bring
- Deep expertise in the Science of Reading and structured literacy, and the ability to explain the research behind your coaching
- A record of excellent K-3 classroom teaching with measurable student achievement results
- Direct classroom experience implementing at least one structured literacy program, such as UFLI Foundations, Heggerty, Fundations, Orton-Gillingham, SPIRE, or Phonics for Reading

Tips for Your Literacy Coach Job Search
Tailor your resume to coaching frameworks
Hiring managers for literacy coach roles want to see specific instructional frameworks you've used, such as Fountas and Pinnell, Units of Study, or LETRS. Name the frameworks explicitly rather than listing generic skills like 'reading instruction' or 'curriculum support.'
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists literacy coach openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Highlight your data analysis experience
Many districts screen for coaches who can interpret diagnostic assessment data, such as DIBELS, AIMSWEB, or iReady scores, to inform teacher support. Show on your resume how you've used student data to drive coaching cycles, not just delivered professional development.
Target postings by district size and model
Job titles vary widely: some districts post 'instructional coach,' others 'literacy specialist' or 'reading interventionist.' Search multiple title variants and read each posting carefully to confirm the role is primarily coaching adults, not direct student instruction.
Prepare a coaching conversation for interviews
Many literacy coach interviews include a role-play or scenario where you coach a simulated teacher. Practice delivering a brief, non-evaluative observation debrief that uses evidence from student work and ends with a teacher-generated goal, since panels assess this directly.
Negotiate your position on the salary schedule
If the district places coaches on the teacher salary schedule, your prior years of classroom experience often count toward step placement. Confirm in writing which years transfer before you accept an offer, since retroactive adjustments are rarely granted.
Literacy Coach Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most literacy coachs?
The most active employers for literacy coachs right now are Center for Student Achievement Solutions, State of Oklahoma, and Carrollton Farmers Branch Independent School District, and the most openings are in New York, Michigan, and Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Charter management organizations and large urban districts tend to post the highest volume of openings throughout the school year.
How many literacy coach jobs are remote?
About 14% of literacy coach openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with most remote roles concentrated in curriculum development, virtual professional development facilitation, and ed-tech coaching rather than school-based instructional coaching positions, which almost always require an on-site presence.
How do you become a literacy coach?
Start by earning a teaching license and spending several years in a classroom reading or language arts role so you have direct instructional experience to draw from. Pursue a reading specialist endorsement or a master's degree in literacy, since most districts require one for coaching positions. Build a portfolio showing how you've used student assessment data to change your own instruction, then apply for school-based coaching roles to develop adult facilitation skills before moving into district-level positions.
How can I get hired as a literacy coach with little experience?
Focus first on roles titled 'reading interventionist' or 'literacy specialist' that blend direct student support with some teacher collaboration, since these bridge the gap between classroom teaching and full coaching. Volunteer to lead a grade-level book study or co-plan a unit with a colleague so you can speak to adult facilitation experience in interviews. A reading endorsement or completion of a structured literacy training like LETRS can also offset a shorter coaching record for employers who prioritize content expertise.
What does the literacy coach interview process look like?
Most literacy coach interviews involve a panel made up of a principal, an instructional lead, and sometimes a district curriculum director. Candidates are typically asked scenario questions about how they would approach a resistant teacher or analyze a set of student assessment data. Many districts include a second round where you present a sample professional development session or walk through a coaching cycle from observation to follow-up. Some positions also require a writing sample or a demonstration lesson review before an offer is extended.
