Job description

About Marker Learning

Marker Learning is transforming the field of learning disability evaluations through clinician-led, tech‑enabled solutions. Led by school psychology experts, we partner with school districts and families to deliver high‑quality, gold‑standard assessments and AI-powered tooling for special education.

Only 1 in 20 students with a learning disability receives a formal diagnosis, increasing the risk of long‑term challenges like low self‑esteem, anxiety, and academic struggles. Marker Learning addresses this by streamlining workflows, ensuring comprehensive, audit-ready reports are delivered in minutes—not hours.

Our AI-powered Report Writer is purpose-built for special education. With features like automatic document ingestion, structured draft generation, full citations for transparency, and adaptive formatting, clinicians can focus on insights rather than formatting.

Today, Marker supports schools nationwide, helping teams save hundreds of hours, alleviate staffing pressures, and deliver expert evaluations faster, while maintaining unwavering clinical rigor .
