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

$120,000 annual salary, paid weekly, with health, dental, and vision coverage beginning on your first day. Full-time on-site at a single Alpha campus: Beverly Hills, La Jolla (San Diego), Lake Forest (Orange County), Palo Alto, Piedmont, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, 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, entirely in-classroom with K‑2 students. Alpha replaces traditional instruction. Students advance through academic content independently using AI‑adaptive applications—there are no lectures, textbooks, or pacing guides. Your position is the only area where a human expert is required. You create 20‑minute small‑group workshops informed by live app data; sessions are intentionally brief, because focused precision outperforms duration. You also lead motivation sessions designed to ensure 100% of your students reach their weekly app targets using Alpha's motivational framework (school currency, leaderboards, age‑appropriate gamification). You identify a student’s miscue during a session, diagnose the underlying phonemic gap, and reconfigure tomorrow’s workshop before the day ends. That is the expectation. Families at these campuses have selected Alpha for results, not simply enrollment. Parents review weekly data on their child’s reading development and form opinions. You will field direct questions about individual student progress, and “they’re doing fine” will not suffice as a response. You will reference the running record, identify the phonemic gap, and describe your instructional plan. That level of accountability should energize you, not exhaust you. What You Will Be Doing Creating small‑group K‑2 reading workshops based on real‑time adaptive‑app data, anchored in structured‑literacy principles (Orton‑Gillingham, Wilson, LETRS, IMSE, or equivalent). Leading daily motivation sessions that drive 100% of your students toward their weekly app targets using Alpha’s motivational system (school currency, leaderboards, age‑appropriate gamification). Analyzing AI‑generated performance data (fluency trajectories, decoding accuracy, comprehension indicators) to modify instruction within the same day, not only during planning periods. Conducting running records, fluency probes, and decoding assessments that generate measurable gains visible in the weekly campus data review. Serving as the energetic, relatable adult your K‑2 students are excited to see each day. What You Won’t Be Doing Implementing a published reading curriculum, scripted program, or district pacing guide; you create lessons directly from student data. Teaching full‑class lectures; all instruction occurs in small, targeted groups while students engage with academic subjects through adaptive apps. Serving as a reading consultant, instructional coach to other teachers, or district‑level specialist; you are in the classroom with children daily. Managing a traditional classroom schedule: subject‑by‑subject lectures, homework correction, test preparation. Your time is structured around workshops, motivation sessions, and data‑informed small groups. Drafting IEPs, 504 plans, or formal diagnostic reports; student progress is captured in app data and your running records, not in special‑education documentation. Literacy Program Coordinator Key Responsibilities Generate measurable K‑2 reading improvement across phonics, fluency, and comprehension within a campus culture where outcomes are assessed weekly. 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 within the past 5 years, using systematic phonics or structured literacy. Proven ability to create your own reading lessons and clearly articulate what you teach and how, independent of a published program. Availability to work in person full‑time at one Alpha campus (listed above). Relocation assistance provided. Willingness to work with all K‑2 students (not exclusively struggling readers) and incorporate AI and adaptive‑learning tools into daily instruction as these tools advance. Legal authorization to work in the U.S. without 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 record of measurable reading outcomes (fluency gains in WCPM, accuracy improvement, decoding level progression) you can quantify. Familiarity with diagnostic reading assessments (DRA, DIBELS, AIMSweb) for creating differentiated instructional groups. Experience in high‑accountability educational settings (independent schools, elite charter networks, premium tutoring where families monitor outcomes closely). Background in performing, coaching youth athletics, or otherwise engaging a K‑2 audience beyond the reading classroom. #J-18808-Ljbffr Crossover
