  • Provide individual and small-group support to students requiring additional assistance.
  • Integrate digital literacy and appropriate technology tools into instruction.
  • Monitor and document student progress, provide meaningful feedback, and adjust instruction based on demonstrated needs.
  • Collaborate with faculty and academic support teams to help students strengthen the skills needed to achieve their educational and career goals.

Why Join ATS?

  • Meaningful Impact: Help students develop skills that directly support their educational, career, and personal goals.
  • Student-Focused Environment: Support adult learners as they build confidence and strengthen foundational academic skills.
  • Collaborative Culture: Partner with faculty and academic support professionals committed to student success.
  • Professional Growth: Continue developing your expertise in literacy instruction and adult education.

Requirements

  • Master's degree in Reading, Literacy, Education, or a closely related field required.
  • Experience teaching reading or literacy to adult learners, college students, or students requiring additional academic support.
  • Knowledge of literacy assessment, differentiated instruction, and individualized lesson planning.
  • Ability to evaluate student progress and modify instructional strategies based on individual needs.
  • Strong classroom facilitation, communication, organization, and interpersonal skills.
  • Patient, supportive, and student-focused approach with a commitment to helping learners achieve measurable progress.

Benefits

At ATS Institute of Technology, we believe our instructors deserve the same level of dedication and care that they give to their students. We’re proud to offer a benefits package that supports your well-being, professional development, and long-term success.
