You've completed rigorous training in structured literacy:
Orton-Gillingham, LETRS, Wilson, IMSE, or hold a Master's in reading instruction. You can pinpoint a phonemic gap from a single miscue and build a targeted phonics lesson without opening a scripted manual. That level of expertise is expected, not what sets you apart.
What sets you apart is that six-year-olds get excited when they see you. At Alpha, this position is first and foremost a Guide: a magnetic, high-energy presence children genuinely enjoy learning with. Your reading credentials open the door; your capacity to captivate a K-2 group for a focused 20-minute workshop is what earns you the offer.
Alpha has eliminated traditional teaching models. Students advance through academic content independently using AI-adaptive applications, without lectures, textbooks, or prescribed pacing calendars. You create small-group reading workshops informed by live performance data and facilitate motivation sessions that inspire students to reach their weekly app targets through school currency, leaderboards, and developmentally appropriate game mechanics.
Your initial months focus on building trust and engagement. Workshops need to be engaging, appropriately leveled, and demonstrably effective. Student satisfaction and "love your Guide" feedback directly measure your success. Once you establish that foundation, your responsibilities expand: analyzing AI-generated data to refine instruction, documenting fluency and decoding progress, and contributing to Alpha's evolving K-2 reading framework as adaptive platforms advance.
Before an offer is extended, you'll submit a brief video sharing a captivating story for young learners and complete a full-day campus visit working hands-on with K-2 students. Low energy with children will disqualify candidates regardless of credential strength.

- Facilitating daily motivation sessions designed to ensure 100% of your students meet their weekly adaptive-app targets, leveraging Alpha's motivational systems (school currency, leaderboards, age-appropriate gamification)
- Conducting and evaluating running records, fluency assessments, and decoding diagnostics to monitor progress and refine subsequent session planning
- Analyzing AI-generated performance insights from Alpha's adaptive learning platforms to differentiate instruction dynamically during sessions, not only during preparation
- Serving as the approachable, enthusiastic adult your K-2 students are genuinely excited to see each day
- Implementing a published reading curriculum, scripted lesson sequence, or district pacing calendar; you build custom lessons directly from student data
- Delivering whole-class lectures; all instruction occurs in targeted, small groups while students complete academic subjects through…
