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

Compensation and Benefits $120,000 annual salary, paid weekly, with health, dental, and vision coverage beginning on your first day. Employment Details 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, 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, entirely in‑classroom with K‑2 students. Role Overview Alpha has replaced traditional instruction – students advance through academic content independently using AI‑adaptive applications and there are no lectures, textbooks, or pacing guides. Your position represents the one area where a human expert cannot be replaced, creating 20‑minute small‑group workshops informed by live app data and leading motivation sessions that ensure 100% of your students reach their weekly app targets using Alpha’s motivational framework. You identify a student’s miscue during a session, diagnose the underlying phonemic gap, and reconfigure tomorrow’s workshop before the day ends. Families review weekly data on their child’s reading development, and you must field direct questions and provide specific instructional plans based on running records and diagnostic evidence. Your initial months focus on proving yourself in the classroom; workshops must be engaging, appropriately leveled, and demonstrably effective, with student satisfaction and “love your Guide” survey results targeting 90%+. Once established, the approaches you develop become models adopted across other Alpha campuses, extending your influence beyond your immediate environment. 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. 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 available. 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.
