Instructional Coordinator, Alpha

$100,000 annual salary paid weekly, with full health, dental, and vision coverage starting day one

On-site position at one of Alpha's campuses:
Phoenix, AZ;
Oklahoma City or Tulsa, OK;
Fort Worth (Keller), Dallas, Plano, or The Woodlands, TX; or Park City (Salt Lake City), UT (relocation assistance available)

40-hour workweek, 100% of time spent in classroom with K-2 students

• Creating and facilitating small-group K-2 reading workshops rooted in structured-literacy approaches (Orton-Gillingham, Wilson, LETRS, IMSE, or equivalent), informed by live student performance data
• Conducting daily motivation sessions designed to ensure 100% of students achieve their weekly adaptive-app targets, applying Alpha's motivational framework (school currency, leaderboards, age-appropriate gamification)
• Conducting and interpreting running records, fluency assessments, and decoding evaluations to monitor progress and refine upcoming instruction
• Analyzing AI-generated performance metrics from Alpha's adaptive learning platforms to differentiate instruction dynamically, not only during pre-planning
• Serving as the approachable, dynamic adult presence your K-2 students are excited to work with each day

• Implementing a published reading curriculum, scripted program, or district pacing calendar; you'll design lessons independently based on student data
• Delivering lectures to whole classrooms; all instruction occurs in targeted, small groups while students complete academic subjects through adaptive applications
• Serving as a reading consultant, instructional coach, or district-level specialist; you'll be in the classroom with students daily
• Managing a traditional classroom schedule — subject-by-subject lectures, homework correction, test preparation; your time is allocated to workshops, motivation sessions, and data-informed small groups
• Evaluating homework or producing report cards; student advancement is tracked through app analytics and your assessment records

Provide structured-literacy instruction that produces measurable acceleration in K-2 reading performance across phonics, fluency, and decoding domains.

• Structured-literacy certification (Orton-Gillingham, LETRS, Wilson Reading System, IMSE, CERI, Neuhaus, UFLI, or equivalent) OR Master's degree in reading instruction
• Bachelor's degree in any discipline, plus 2+ years of full-time K-2 structured reading instruction in a school or clinical environment, using systematic phonics or structured literacy
• Proven capacity to independently design reading lessons and clearly explain your instructional methods and content, without dependence on a published program
• Availability to work in person full-time at one of Alpha's campuses:
  Phoenix, AZ;
  Oklahoma City or Tulsa, OK;
  Fort Worth (Keller), Dallas, Plano, or The Woodlands, TX; or Park City (Salt Lake City), UT (relocation assistance available)
• Willingness to instruct all K-2 students (not exclusively struggling readers) and to incorporate AI and adaptive-learning platforms into daily instruction
• Legal authorization to work in the U.S. without visa sponsorship

• Direct experience with AI-powered or adaptive reading platforms (e.g., Amira, Lexia, i-Ready, Reading Plus) for instructional planning or student data interpretation
• Documented history of measurable reading gains (fluency improvements in WCPM, accuracy increases, decoding level progression) with specific numerical evidence
• Experience in non-traditional or innovative educational settings (charter, micro-school, Montessori, hybrid)
• Experience in performance, youth sports coaching, or otherwise engaging a K-2 audience outside formal reading instruction

Alpha reimagines the school day around faster learning, stronger mentorship, and more time for students to build real-world skills.

Alpha offers six-figure roles for people ready to help build a radically better school experience.

Alpha is a fast-moving, ambitious, and student-focused culture built for builders. It’s for people who want to improve the system, not maintain it.

This is a full-time (40 hours per week), long-term position. The position is immediately available and requires entering into an independent contractor agreement with Crossover as a Contractor of Record. The compensation level for this role is $50 USD/hour, which equates to $100,000 USD/year assuming 40 hours per week and 50 weeks per year. The payment period is weekly.

Before extending an offer, we will ask you to submit a brief video presenting an engaging story for young children, and you will participate in a full-day campus visit working directly with K-2 students. Low energy with children will disqualify candidates regardless of credential strength.
