Full Job Description

$120,000 annual salary, paid weekly, with health, dental, and vision coverage starting on day one
Full-time on-site role at one Alpha campus location: Beverly Hills, La Jolla (San Diego), Lake Forest (Orange County), Piedmont, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, or Santa Monica, CA; Greenwich, CT; Boca Raton, FL; Chicago, IL; Boston, MA; or New York City, NY (relocation assistance available)
40-hour work week, 100% classroom-based with students in grades K-3

Your structured-literacy certification — Orton-Gillingham, LETRS, Wilson, IMSE, or a Master's in reading instruction — has opened doors to every K-3 reading position you've pursued. In most cases, it also defined the limit: you delivered someone else's curriculum and documented compliance. Here that credential is your entry point, not your endpoint. If that difference resonates with you, continue reading.

Alpha has redesigned how instruction happens. Students advance through academic content independently using AI-adaptive applications. There are no lectures, textbooks, or pacing calendars. Your position is where a human expert cannot be replaced. You create 20-minute small-group workshops using real-time application data; sessions are brief intentionally, because targeted precision outperforms duration. You also facilitate motivation sessions designed to guide 100% of your students toward their weekly application targets using Alpha's motivational framework (campus currency, leaderboards, developmentally appropriate gamification). When you catch a miscue during a session, you identify the phonemic deficit and revise the next day's workshop before leaving campus. That is the baseline expectation.

Families enrolling at these campuses have selected Alpha for measurable results, not simply enrollment. Parents receive weekly updates on their child's reading development and they expect answers. You will field specific questions about individual student progress, and vague reassurances will not suffice. You must reference the running record, identify the phonemic gap, and describe your instructional response. That level of accountability should energize you, not burden you.

Your initial months focus on establishing credibility in the room. Workshops must be engaging, appropriately leveled, and demonstrably effective; student satisfaction and "love your Guide" survey scores (target 90%+) provide direct measurement. Once you establish that foundation, your influence grows beyond your classroom: successful approaches with your students become templates for other Alpha campuses, and your diagnostic precision informs how reading instruction scales as Alpha expands. The impact you create extends well beyond your immediate environment.

Before an offer is extended, you will submit a short video of yourself telling an engaging story for young children, and you will complete a full day on campus working directly with K-3 students. Low energy with children will disqualify you, regardless of credential strength. This is intentional. Apply today.

What you will be doing

Creating small-group K-3 reading workshops based on live adaptive-app data, applying structured-literacy principles (Orton-Gillingham, Wilson, LETRS, IMSE, or equivalent)
Leading daily motivation sessions to ensure 100% of your students meet their weekly app targets using Alpha's motivational system (campus currency, leaderboards, age-appropriate gamification)
Analyzing AI-generated performance metrics (fluency trajectories, decoding precision, comprehension indicators) to modify instruction in real time, not only during planning periods
Conducting running records, fluency probes, and decoding assessments to generate measurable progress visible in weekly campus data meetings
Serving as the energetic, approachable adult your K-3 students are excited to see each day

What you will NOT be doing

Implementing a published reading curriculum, scripted lesson plan, or district pacing guide; you create lessons directly from student performance data
Delivering whole-class lectures; all instruction occurs in small, targeted groups while students progress through academic subjects using adaptive applications
Serving as a reading consultant, teacher coach, or district-level specialist; you work in the classroom with students daily
Managing a conventional classroom schedule: subject-by-subject lectures, homework review, test preparation. Your time is allocated to workshops, motivation sessions, and data-informed small groups
Authoring IEPs, 504 plans, or formal diagnostic documentation; student progress is tracked through app data and your running records, not special-education compliance paperwork

Key Responsibilities

Generate measurable reading improvement in K-3 students across phonics, fluency, and comprehension within a campus culture where outcomes are assessed weekly.

Candidate 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-3 structured reading instruction in a school or clinical environment within the past 5 years, utilizing systematic phonics or structured literacy
Proven capacity to design original reading lessons and clearly explain your instructional approach and rationale, independent of a published program
Availability to work full-time in person at one Alpha campus: Beverly Hills, La Jolla (San Diego), Lake Forest (Orange County), Piedmont, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, or Santa Monica, CA; Greenwich, CT; Boca Raton, FL; Chicago, IL; Boston, MA; or New York City, NY (relocation assistance provided)
Willingness to teach all K-3 students (not exclusively struggling readers) and incorporate AI and adaptive-learning platforms into daily instruction as these tools develop
Legal authorization to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship

Nice to have

Direct experience with AI-powered or adaptive reading platforms (e.g., Amira, Lexia, i-Ready, Reading Plus) for instructional planning or analyzing student data
Documented record of measurable reading outcomes (fluency growth in WCPM, accuracy gains, decoding level progression) with specific figures
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 programs with families who monitor results closely)
Background in performance, youth sports coaching, or other activities requiring you to engage a K-3 audience outside traditional reading instruction
