You can diagnose a phonemic gap from a student's miscue and build a phonics lesson independent of any scripted curriculum. That’s your baseline, not your differentiator. What sets you apart is your ability to captivate six‑year‑olds. At Alpha, this position requires you to be a Guide first: an engaging, dynamic presence children are excited to work with. Your literacy credentials open the door; your capacity to command a K‑2 group’s attention for a 20‑minute workshop is what secures the role. Alpha has eliminated conventional instruction. Students progress through academic content independently using AI‑adaptive applications, without lectures, textbooks, or standardized pacing. You’ll create targeted small‑group reading workshops informed by live performance data and facilitate motivation sessions that propel students toward their weekly app targets through school currency, leaderboards, and developmentally appropriate gamification. Your initial months focus on building rapport and credibility in the classroom. Workshops need to be engaging, appropriately leveled, and demonstrably impactful. Direct student satisfaction and “love your Guide” survey results measure your success. As you establish yourself, your responsibilities expand: analyzing AI-generated data to refine instruction, documenting fluency and decoding progress, and contributing to Alpha’s evolving K‑2 literacy strategy. Prior to hire, you’ll submit a brief video in which you tell a captivating story for young children, and complete a full campus day working directly with K‑2 students. Low energy with children is disqualifying, regardless of credential strength. Submit your application today.
