Literacy Program Coordinator, Alpha

$120,000 annual salary, paid weekly, with health, dental, and vision coverage starting day one.

On-site position at one Alpha campus location:
Beverly Hills, La Jolla (San Diego), Lake Forest (Orange County), Palo Alto, Piedmont, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, or South Bay (Los Angeles), 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, 100% classroom‑based work with K‑2 students.

Your structured‑literacy certification — Orton‑Gillingham, LETRS, Wilson, IMSE, or a Master’s in reading instruction — has opened every K‑2 reading position you’ve pursued. In most roles, that credential set the upper limit: you executed a prescribed program and documented results. At Alpha, that credential is the entry point. If this difference resonates with you, continue reading.

Alpha has redesigned traditional instruction. Students progress through academic content independently using AI‑adaptive applications. There are no lectures, textbooks, or pacing calendars. Your position is the one area where human expertise cannot be replaced. You create 20‑minute small‑group workshops using real‑time application data; sessions are deliberately brief because targeted instruction outperforms duration. You also facilitate motivation sessions that guide 100% of your students toward their weekly app targets through Alpha’s motivational framework (school currency, leaderboards, developmentally appropriate gamification).

When you detect a student’s miscue during a session, you identify the phonemic deficiency and redesign the next day’s workshop before leaving. That is the expectation.

Families enrolling at these campuses have selected Alpha for performance outcomes, not simply enrollment. Parents receive weekly data documenting their child’s reading development, and they form opinions. You will field specific questions about individual student advancement, and vague reassurances will not suffice. You will reference the running record, identify the phonemic weakness, and describe your intervention. This level of accountability should energize you, not burden you.

Your initial months focus on establishing credibility in the classroom. Workshops must be engaging, appropriately leveled, and demonstrably effective; student satisfaction and "love your Guide" survey results (target 90%+) provide direct measurement. As you demonstrate success, your influence expands beyond your own students: effective strategies you develop become templates for other Alpha campuses, and your diagnostic precision influences reading instruction across Alpha’s growth trajectory.

Your contributions extend well beyond your classroom walls.

Before hiring, you will submit a short video presenting an engaging story for young children, and you will complete a full day on campus working directly with K‑2 students. Low energy with children will disqualify candidates regardless of credential strength. Apply today.
