Ideally, candidates will have a background in reading instruction or speech language-pathology. Additional background information regarding our school follows.

Winston Preparatory School is a co-ed day school for 3rd through 12th grade students with learning differences such as dyslexia, nonverbal learning disabilities, expressive or receptive language disorders and executive functioning challenges. Our mission is to facilitate the independence of individuals with learning difficulties through assessment-driven individualized education, research and outreach.

Our unique educational program for 3rd-12th grade students with learning differences is designed to develop essential skills and challenge his or her strengths. As part of our learning program, every student benefits from the Focus Program, in which each student receives a daily period of one-to-one instruction concentrating on his or her greatest area of need. The implementation of the program allows us to further personalize instruction and strategies so that our students can better understand themselves, as well as verbalize their needs to become independent learners.

Focus teachers provide daily individualized, 1:1 remediation for students struggling with a wide-range of learning differences, while coordinating and facilitating consistent communication between classroom teachers and families.
