• Create 20‑minute small‑group workshops for K‑2 students based on real‑time AI‑adaptive application data.
• Conduct daily motivation sessions to ensure 100 % of students reach their weekly app targets through Alpha’s motivational framework.
• Analyze AI‑generated performance metrics—fluency trajectories, decoding precision, comprehension indicators—to modify instruction in real time.
• Conduct running records, fluency probes, and decoding assessments to generate measurable progress that is visible in weekly campus data reviews.
• Serve as the engaging, high‑energy adult that K‑2 students anticipate seeing daily.
• Generate quantifiable K‑2 reading advancement across phonics, fluency, and comprehension within a campus culture where outcomes are reviewed weekly.

• Implement a published reading curriculum, scripted program, or district pacing guide; you develop lessons directly from student performance data.
• Deliver lectures to whole classrooms; instruction occurs in small, targeted groups while students use adaptive applications.
• Serve as a reading consultant, instructional coach, or district‑level specialist; you work in the classroom with students every day.
• Manage a conventional classroom schedule—subject‑by‑subject lectures, homework correction, test preparation—your blocks consist of workshops, motivation sessions, and data‑informed small groups.
• Draft IEPs, 504 plans, or formal diagnostic evaluations; student progress is documented in app data and running records, not special‑education paperwork.

• Structured‑literacy certification (Orton‑Gillingham, LETRS, Wilson, IMSE, CERI, Neuhaus, UFLI, or equivalent) OR a master’s degree in reading instruction.
• Bachelor’s degree in any discipline and at least 2 + years of full‑time K‑2 structured reading instruction in a school or clinical environment within the past 5 years, using systematic phonics or structured literacy.
• Proven ability to develop original reading lessons and explain instructional content and methodology without relying on a published program.
• Commitment to work in person full‑time at one Alpha campus (locations listed above). Relocation assistance available.
• Commitment to instruct all K‑2 students, not exclusively struggling readers, and incorporate AI and adaptive‑learning technologies into daily instruction.
• Legal authorization to work in the U.S. without requiring visa sponsorship.

• Practical experience with AI‑powered or adaptive reading platforms (e.g., Amira, Lexia, i‑Ready, Reading Plus) for instructional planning or student data interpretation.
• Documented reading outcomes (fluency gains in WCPM, accuracy improvements, decoding level progression) with quantitative data.
• Familiarity with diagnostic reading assessments (DRA, DIBELS, AIMSweb) for establishing differentiated instructional groups.
• Experience in high‑accountability educational settings—independent schools, elite charter networks, premium tutoring environments with outcome‑focused families.
• Background in performance, youth sports coaching, or other contexts requiring engagement of K‑2 audiences beyond traditional reading instruction.
