Serving as a reading consultant, instructional coach, or district‑level specialist; you work directly with children in the classroom daily. Managing a traditional classroom schedule—subject‑by‑subject lectures, homework review, test preparation; your schedule consists of workshops, motivation sessions, and data‑informed small groups. Grading homework assignments or issuing report cards; student progress is tracked through app data and your running records. Key Responsibilities Provide structured‑literacy instruction that produces measurable acceleration in K‑2 reading outcomes across phonics, fluency, and decoding. 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 discipline, plus 2+ years of full‑time K‑2 structured reading instruction in a school or clinical environment, utilizing systematic phonics or structured literacy. Proven ability to create original reading lessons and clearly explain instructional content and methods independently of a published program. Willingness to work on‑site full‑time at one Alpha campus (listed above). Willingness to serve all K‑2 students (not exclusively struggling readers) and to incorporate AI and adaptive‑learning tools into everyday instruction. Legal authorization to work in the U.S. or Puerto Rico without requiring visa sponsorship. Bilingual proficiency in English and Spanish required for the Dorado, Puerto Rico campus. Nice‑to‑have Requirements Direct experience using AI‑powered or adaptive reading platforms (e.g., Amira, Lexia, i‑Ready, Reading Plus) for instructional planning or student data interpretation. Documented record of measurable reading improvements (fluency gains in WCPM, accuracy increases, decoding level progression) that can be specified with data. Experience in non‑traditional or innovative educational settings (charter, micro‑school, Montessori, hybrid models). Experience in performance, youth sports coaching, or otherwise engaging a K‑2 audience beyond the reading classroom. Position Details This is a full‑time (40 hours per week), long‑term position.
