adolescents and adults, reading research, assessment, and evaluation.

Your principal responsibility will be designing test items for an item bank. 
This includes researching reading levels, finding and possibly adapting

other RAs on the task.

As an RA you will:
-  Have taken courses in reading development, language acquisition, or 
bilingual education
-  Be interested in the development of literacy
-  Be aware of the challenges SIFE students encounter in the public school 
system

Priority will be given to Native Spanish Speakers.

The position will be for up to 19 hours per week (negotiable) for a period of 
32 weeks at a rate of $20 per hour ($12,160 total).

Start Date:
As soon as possible. Must be available during the month of January.
