40‑hour workweek, 100% in‑classroom delivery with K‑2 learners.

Alpha has reimagined instruction from the ground up. Students advance through academic content independently using AI‑driven adaptive applications. There are no lectures, textbooks, or pacing calendars. Your expertise occupies the one space where human judgment cannot be replaced. You build 20‑minute small‑group workshops driven by live app analytics; brevity is intentional, because targeted work outperforms duration. You also lead motivation sessions designed to propel 100% of your learners toward weekly app benchmarks, using Alpha’s motivational framework (campus currency, leaderboards, developmentally appropriate game mechanics).

You catch a miscue during a session, identify the underlying phonemic deficit, and recalibrate tomorrow’s workshop before the day ends. That responsiveness is the baseline expectation.

Families choosing these campuses prioritize measurable progress, not simply enrollment. Parents review weekly data on their child’s literacy development and they ask pointed questions. You will field specific inquiries about individual student advancement, and vague reassurances will not suffice. You must reference running records, name the phonemic challenge, and outline your instructional response. That level of accountability should energize you, not exhaust you.

Your initial period centers on proving impact. Workshops must be engaging, appropriately leveled, and demonstrably effective; student satisfaction and "love your Guide" survey results (90%+ target) provide direct feedback. Once you establish credibility, your influence expands beyond your own room: successful strategies with your students become templates for other Alpha locations, and your assessment precision informs how reading instruction scales across the network.

The instructional decisions you make here ripple outward.

Prior to hire, you will submit a short video delivering an engaging story for young children, and you will spend a full day on campus working hands‑on with K‑2 students. Low energy with children is disqualifying, regardless of credential strength.

• Creating small‑group K‑2 literacy workshops using real‑time adaptive‑app data, anchored in structured‑literacy approaches (Orton‑Gillingham, Wilson, LETRS, IMSE, or similar).
• Conducting daily motivation sessions to ensure 100% of your students reach weekly app targets via Alpha’s motivational architecture (campus currency, leaderboards, age‑appropriate game elements).
• Analyzing AI‑generated performance metrics (fluency trajectories, decoding precision, comprehension indicators) to modify instruction during the day, not only during planning periods.
• Delivering running records, fluency checks, and decoding evaluations to generate growth visible in weekly campus data meetings.
• Serving as the engaging, high‑energy adult your K‑2 learners anticipate interacting with daily.

• Implementing a commercial reading curriculum, scripted lesson sequence, or district timeline; you create lessons directly from student performance data.
• Presenting to a whole class; all teaching occurs in small, targeted groups while students complete core subjects through adaptive technology.
• Serving as a reading consultant, teacher coach, or district‑level resource; you work directly with children in the classroom daily.
• Managing a traditional classroom schedule: subject‑specific lectures, homework debriefs, test preparation. Your instructional blocks consist of workshops, motivational sessions, and data‑informed small groups.
• Drafting IEPs, 504 accommodations, or formal psycho educational reports; student progress is…
