Literacy Program Coordinator, Alpha - $120,000/year USD

Compensation and Location $120,000 annual salary, paid weekly, with health, dental, and vision coverage starting day one. On-site position at one Alpha campus location: Beverly Hills, La Jolla (San Diego), Lake Forest (Orange County), Palo Alto, Piedmont, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, or South Bay (LA), CA; Greenwich, CT; Boca Raton or Miami Beach, FL; Chicago, IL; Boston, MA; Charlotte, NC; or New York City, NY (relocation assistance available). 40 hours per week, 100% classroom-based work with K-2 students. Role Overview Alpha has redesigned traditional instruction. Students progress through academic content independently using AI‑adaptive applications. There are no lectures, textbooks, or pacing calendars. Your position is the one area where human expertise cannot be replaced. You create 20‑minute small‑group workshops using real‑time application data; sessions are deliberately brief because targeted instruction outperforms duration. You also facilitate motivation sessions that guide 100% of your students toward their weekly app targets through Alpha’s motivational framework (school currency, leaderboards, developmentally appropriate gamification). When you detect a student’s miscue during a session, you identify the phonemic deficiency and redesign the next day’s workshop before leaving. That is the expectation. What You Will Be Doing Creating small‑group K-2 reading workshops based on live adaptive‑app data, rooted in structured‑literacy approaches (Orton‑Gillingham, Wilson, LETRS, IMSE, or equivalent) Conducting daily motivation sessions that drive 100% of your students toward their weekly app targets using Alpha’s motivational framework (school currency, leaderboards, age‑appropriate gamification) Analyzing AI‑generated performance data (fluency trajectories, decoding precision, comprehension indicators) to modify instruction mid‑day, not solely during planning periods Conducting running records, fluency probes, and decoding assessments to generate gains visible in the weekly campus data review Serving as the engaging, energetic adult your K‑2 students anticipate seeing daily What You Won’t Be Doing Implementing a published reading curriculum, scripted program, or district pacing calendar; you create lessons directly from student data Delivering lectures to a full classroom; all teaching occurs in small, targeted groups while students complete academic subjects through adaptive apps Serving as a reading consultant, instructional coach, or district‑level specialist; you work in the classroom with children every day Managing a traditional classroom schedule: subject‑by‑subject lectures, homework review, test preparation. Your scheduled blocks consist of workshops, motivation sessions, and data‑informed small groups Preparing IEPs, 504 plans, or formal diagnostic reports; student advancement is tracked through app data and your running records, not special‑education documentation Literacy Program Coordinator Key Responsibilities Generate measurable K‑2 reading advancement across phonics, fluency, and comprehension within a campus community where outcomes undergo weekly review.
