Full-time on-site at one Alpha campus: Phoenix, AZ; Oklahoma City or Tulsa, OK; Fort Worth (Keller), Dallas, Plano, or The Woodlands, TX; or Park City (Salt Lake City), UT (relocation assistance available) 40-hour workweek, entirely in-classroom with K-2 students $100,000 annual salary, paid weekly, including health, dental, and vision benefits from day one Full-time on-site at one Alpha campus: Phoenix, AZ; Oklahoma City or Tulsa, OK; Fort Worth (Keller), Dallas, Plano, or The Woodlands, TX; or Park City (Salt Lake City), UT (relocation assistance available) 40-hour workweek, entirely in-classroom with K-2 students You've invested years in structured literacy mastery. Orton-Gillingham, LETRS, Wilson, IMSE, or a Master\'s in reading instruction. You can diagnose a phonemic gap from a single miscue. You can build a phonics lesson from scratch, without a scripted program. That\'s the baseline. It\'s not what sets you apart. What sets you apart is that six-year-olds get excited when you enter the room. At Alpha, this position is a Guide role first: a dynamic, engaging presence students genuinely enjoy learning with. Your structured-literacy credentials open the door; your capacity to captivate a K-2 classroom during a 20-minute workshop is what earns you the offer. If "dynamic, engaging presence" doesn\'t characterize you, this isn\'t the right fit. Alpha has reimagined traditional instruction. Students work through academic content independently on AI-adaptive platforms — no lectures, no textbooks, no district pacing calendars. Your role represents the one area where a human expert cannot be replaced. You create small-group reading workshops based on live student performance data, and you facilitate motivation sessions that ensure 100% of your students reach their weekly app targets using Alpha\'s motivational framework (school currency, leaderboards, age-appropriate gamification). Your initial months focus on winning the room. Workshops must be engaging, differentiated, and demonstrably effective. Student satisfaction metrics and "love your Guide" survey results (target 90%+) measure that directly. Once you\'ve proven yourself, your responsibilities expand: analyzing AI-generated performance data to refine subsequent instruction, communicating fluency gains and decoding progress to parents, and influencing how Alpha\'s K-2 reading model evolves alongside adaptive technology. As Alpha opens new campuses, your work becomes the blueprint for reading instruction across the network. Before hiring, you\'ll record a brief video presenting an engaging story for young children, and you\'ll spend an entire day on campus working directly with K-2 students. Low energy with children is disqualifying, regardless of credential strength. That\'s intentional. What You Will Be Doing Creating and facilitating small-group K-2 reading workshops rooted in structured-literacy approaches (Orton-Gillingham, Wilson, LETRS, IMSE, or equivalent), informed by live student data Facilitating daily motivation sessions that ensure 100% of your students meet their weekly adaptive-app targets, leveraging Alpha\'s motivational framework (school currency, leaderboards, age-appropriate gamification) Conducting and evaluating running records, fluency probes, and decoding assessments to monitor progress and refine subsequent instruction Analyzing AI-generated performance data from Alpha\'s adaptive learning platforms to differentiate instruction in the moment, not just during planning Serving as the approachable, dynamic 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 your own lessons based on student data Delivering whole-class lectures; all instruction occurs in small, targeted groups and students complete academic subjects through adaptive apps Serving as a reading consultant, instructional coach, or district-level specialist; you work in the classroom with students every day Managing a traditional classroom schedule — subject-by-subject lectures, homework review, test prep; your time is dedicated to workshops, motivation sessions, and data-driven small groups Assigning grades or completing report cards; student progress is tracked through app data and your running records Literacy Coordinator 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 field, 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 your own reading lessons and explain what you teach and how, without dependence on a published program Ability to work in person full-time at one Alpha campus: Phoenix, AZ; Oklahoma City or Tulsa, OK; Fort Worth (Keller), Dallas, Plano, or The Woodlands, TX; or Park City (Salt Lake City), UT (relocation assistance available) Openness to working with all K-2 students (not exclusively struggling readers) and to incorporating AI and adaptive-learning tools into everyday instruction 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 review Documented record of measurable reading outcomes (fluency gains in WCPM, accuracy improvement, decoding level advancement) you can quantify with specific numbers Experience in non-traditional or innovative school environments (charter, micro-school, Montessori, hybrid) Experience performing, coaching youth sports, or otherwise engaging a K-2 audience beyond the reading classroom About Alpha Join the team building school around student growth Alpha reimagines the school day around faster learning, stronger mentorship, and more time for students to build real-world skills.
