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

Salary: $120,000 annual, paid weekly. Health, dental, and vision coverage starts day one. On‑site position at one Alpha campus: 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 Your structured‑literacy certification — Orton‑Gillingham, LETRS, Wilson, IMSE, or a Master’s in reading instruction — has opened doors to every K‑2 reading position you’ve pursued. In most cases, it also marked the limit: you executed an existing program and documented results. Here, the credential is your entry point. If that difference is meaningful to you, continue reading. Alpha has redesigned traditional instruction. Students progress through academic content independently using AI‑adaptive applications. No lectures, no textbooks, no pacing calendars. Your position is where human expertise cannot be replaced. You create 20‑minute small‑group workshops based on real‑time app performance data; sessions are deliberately brief, because targeted instruction outperforms duration. You also facilitate motivation sessions that ensure 100% of your students meet weekly app targets using Alpha's motivational framework (school currency, leaderboards, age‑appropriate gamification). You catch a student's miscue during a session, identify the phonemic weakness, and revise tomorrow's workshop before the day ends. That is the expectation. Families at these campuses have selected Alpha for results, not simply attendance. Parents review weekly data tracking their child's reading progress, and they expect answers. You will field specific questions about individual student advancement; vague reassurances will not suffice. You will reference the running record, identify the phonemic deficit, and describe your intervention. That level of accountability should energize you, not burden you. Your initial months focus on establishing credibility. Workshops must be engaging, appropriately leveled, and demonstrably effective; student satisfaction and "love your Guide" survey results (target 90%+) provide direct feedback. Once you succeed, your influence expands beyond your classroom: effective methods you develop become templates for other Alpha campuses, and your diagnostic precision influences how reading instruction scales across Alpha's network. Your work has reach beyond your immediate students. Before you are hired, you will submit a short video presenting an engaging story for young children, and you will complete a full day on campus working directly with K‑2 students. Low energy with children will disqualify you, regardless of credential strength. That is intentional. Apply today. What You Will Be Doing Creating small‑group K‑2 reading workshops using live adaptive‑app data, rooted in structured‑literacy approaches (Orton‑Gillingham, Wilson, LETRS, IMSE, or equivalent) Leading daily motivation sessions that drive 100% of your students to meet weekly app goals through Alpha's motivational model (school currency, leaderboards, age‑appropriate gamification) Analyzing AI‑generated performance data (fluency curves, decoding accuracy, comprehension indicators) to modify instruction during the day, not only during planning periods Conducting running records, fluency probes, and decoding assessments to generate gains visible in weekly campus data reviews Serving as the energetic, relatable adult your K‑2 students are excited to see every day What You Won’t Be Doing Implementing a published reading curriculum, scripted program, or district pacing guide; you create lessons based on student data Delivering lectures to a full classroom; 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 daily Managing a traditional classroom schedule: subject‑by‑subject lectures, homework review, test preparation.
