40 hours per week, 100% classroom‑based work with K‑2 students

Your structured-literacy credential — whether Orton‑Gillingham, LETRS, Wilson, IMSE, or a Master's in reading instruction — has opened doors to every K‑2 reading position you've pursued. In most roles, that credential also marked the upper limit: you delivered an existing program and tracked its results. At Alpha, the credential marks the entry point. If that difference resonates with you, continue reading.

Alpha has redesigned traditional instruction. Academic coursework is completed independently by students through AI‑adaptive applications. There are no lectures, textbooks, or pacing guides. Your position represents the one area where human expertise cannot be replaced. You create 20‑minute small‑group workshops using real‑time application data; sessions are intentionally brief because targeted instruction outperforms duration. You also lead motivation sessions designed to ensure 100% of your students reach their weekly app targets, using Alpha's motivational framework (campus currency, leaderboards, age‑appropriate gamification).

When you catch a student's miscue during a session, you identify the phonemic deficit and have the next day's workshop adjusted before the day ends. That is the expectation.

Families enrolling at these campuses have selected Alpha for measurable results, not simply enrollment. Parents review weekly data showing their child's reading progress, and they hold strong opinions. You will field specific questions about individual student advancement, and vague reassurances like "they're doing fine" will not suffice. You will 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 classroom. Workshops must be engaging, appropriately leveled, and demonstrably effective; student satisfaction and "love your Guide" survey results (target 90%+) provide direct measurement. Once you've established that foundation, your influence expands beyond your own classroom: successful approaches with your students become models for adoption across other Alpha campuses, and your diagnostic precision informs how reading instruction evolves as Alpha scales.

The impact of your work extends far beyond your immediate environment.

Before an offer is extended, you will submit a short video recording of yourself telling an engaging story for young children, and you will complete a full‑day on‑campus trial working directly with K‑2 students. Low energy with children will disqualify you, regardless of credential strength. This is intentional. Apply today.
