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

Compensation and Work Location Salary: $120,000 annual, paid weekly. Health, dental, vision coverage from day one. Full-time, on‑site at one of Alpha campus locations: Beverly Hills, La Jolla (San Diego), Lake Forest (Orange County), Piedmont, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, Greenwich, CT, Boca Raton, FL, Chicago, IL, Boston, MA, or New York City, NY. Relocation assistance available. 40 hours per week, 100% classroom‑based with K-3 students. Background Alpha has eliminated conventional instruction. Students advance through academic content independently using AI‑adaptive applications. Your position is the human expertise that cannot be replaced. You create 20‑minute small‑group workshops based on real‑time application data. You also facilitate motivation sessions that guide 100% of students toward their weekly app targets using Alpha's motivational framework (school currency, leaderboards, age‑appropriate gamification). When you detect a student's miscue during a session, you identify the phonemic deficit and redesign the following day’s workshop before you leave. That is the expectation. Families enrolling at these campuses have selected Alpha for measurable results. Parents receive weekly data. You will respond to specific questions about individual student progress, using running records, identifying phonemic gaps, and articulating instructional responses. You must be accountable and energetic. Your initial months focus on establishing credibility: workshops engaging, appropriately leveled, demonstrably effective; student satisfaction and "love your Guide" survey results (target 90%+) provide direct measurement. Success allows you to influence practices across campuses. Before hiring, you will submit a brief video sharing an engaging story for young children, and work an entire day on campus with K‑3 students. Low energy disqualifies you. What You Will Be Doing Creating small‑group K‑3 reading workshops using live adaptive‑app data, anchored in structured‑literacy approaches (Orton‑Gillingham, Wilson, LETRS, IMSE, or equivalent). Leading daily motivation sessions that drive 100% of students to achieve their weekly app targets through Alpha's motivational model. Analyzing AI‑generated performance data (fluency curves, decoding accuracy, comprehension signal) to modify instruction in real time. Conducting running records, fluency probes, and decoding assessments to generate gains visible during weekly campus data reviews. Serving as the energetic, relatable adult your K‑3 students are excited to see daily. What You Won’t Be Doing Implementing a published reading curriculum, scripted program, or district pacing guide; you create lessons directly from student data. Delivering lectures to whole classrooms; all instruction occurs in small, targeted groups while students complete academic subjects through adaptive apps. Serving as a reading consultant, teacher 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 time consists of workshops, motivation sessions, and data‑driven small groups. Preparing IEPs, 504 plans, or formal diagnostic reports; student progress is captured in app data and your running records, not special‑education documentation. Readiness and Impact Generate measurable K‑3 reading gains across phonics, fluency, and comprehension within a campus community where outcomes undergo weekly review. Basic Requirements Structured‑literacy certification (Orton‑Gillingham, LETRS, Wilson Reading System, IMSE, CERI, Neuhaus, UFLI, or equivalent) OR a Master’s degree in reading instruction. Bachelor’s degree in any field, plus 2+ years of full‑time K‑3 structured reading instruction in a school or clinical setting within the past 5 years, utilizing systematic phonics or structured literacy. Proven capacity to design independent reading lessons and clearly articulate teaching methods and content, without depending on a published program. Availability to work in person full‑time at one Alpha campus (Beverly Hills, La Jolla (San Diego), Lake Forest (Orange County), Piedmont, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, Greenwich, CT, Boca Raton, FL, Chicago, IL, Boston, MA, or New York City, NY) with relocation assistance available. Readiness to work with all K‑3 students and incorporate AI and adaptive‑learning tools into daily instruction. Legal authorization to work in the U.S. without requiring visa sponsorship. Nice‑to‑have Requirements Direct experience with AI‑powered or adaptive reading platforms (e.g., Amira, Lexia, i‑Ready, Reading Plus) for instructional planning or student data interpretation. Documented track record of measurable reading outcomes (fluency gains in WCPM, accuracy improvement, decoding level advancement) with specific numbers. Familiarity with diagnostic reading assessments (DRA, DIBELS, AIMSweb) for forming differentiated instructional groups. Experience in high‑accountability educational settings (independent schools, elite charter networks, premium tutoring environments). Background in performance, youth sports coaching, or other contexts requiring engagement of K‑3 audience beyond the reading classroom.
