From left to right, the images include: A close-up of a smiling woman with glasses and another smiling woman with long dark hair, who appears to be holding a certificate.

A horizontal banner advertising a job opening. The top left corner displays "Now Hiring: Disciplinary Literacy Coaches" in green text, slightly faded. On the left side, there's a rectangular box with a maroon border. Inside, the text "NOW HIRING: DISCIPLINARY LITERACY COACHES" is prominent in maroon, bold font. Below it, "Click for more information" is underlined in maroon. A maroon Zia symbol is centered at the bottom of the box. Below this box, a brown rectangular bar contains white text that reads: "This is not a position within the SWREC, this position is with Region 2." The right side of the banner features a large, brown tree graphic with numerous green leaves. Each leaf contains white text related to "Core Literacy" and various academic disciplines. The main branches are labeled "History," "Science," "English," "Art," "PE," "Maths," and "Geography," all stemming from a central "Core Literacy" trunk. The leaves contain phrases such as "Understanding of contextual factors," "Letters and numbers have unique meanings," "Understanding visual representations," "Culturally specific vocabulary," "Consideration of author's perspective," "Ability to comprehend and analyze," "Technical words containing Latin or Greek roots," "Importance of words and symbols," "Modes of expression," "Processing of visual-auditory information," "Specialist vocabulary for annotations," and "Communicate orally." A few leaves are cut off at the bottom left and right, and some text on leaves is partially visible, like "Required Tier 2." At the very bottom right, two small arrow icons, one pointing left and one pointing right, are within black squares.
