You have deep training in structured literacy. Orton-Gillingham. LETRS. Wilson. IMSE. Or a Master's focused on reading. You listen to a miscue and pinpoint the phonemic weakness. You build phonics lessons without a script. That expertise is your baseline, not your differentiator.
What sets you apart is your presence with young children. At Alpha, the role of Guide comes first: you are a magnetic, high-energy figure whom six-year-olds are excited to work with. Your structured-literacy training opens the door; your capacity to hold K-2 students engaged for a 20-minute workshop determines whether you are hired. If "magnetic, high-energy" does not capture who you are, this position is not a fit.
Alpha has dismantled conventional instruction. Students advance through academic content independently on AI-adaptive platforms—no lectures, no textbooks, no district calendars. Your position represents the one irreplaceable human touchpoint. You create small‑group reading workshops informed by live student performance data, and you facilitate motivation sessions that ensure 100% of students reach their weekly app targets, leveraging Alpha's motivational framework (school currency, leaderboards, age-appropriate game mechanics).
Your initial months center on building rapport. Workshops must be engaging, appropriately leveled, and demonstrably effective. Student satisfaction metrics and "love your Guide" survey results (goal: 90%+) track that directly. Once you establish credibility, your influence expands: reading AI-generated performance analytics to refine upcoming instruction, communicating fluency gains and decoding progress to families, and helping shape Alpha's evolving K-2 literacy strategy alongside adaptive technology.
As Alpha opens additional campuses, the systems you develop become the blueprint for reading instruction across the organization.
Prior to hiring, you will submit a brief video of yourself delivering an engaging story for young children, and you will complete a full-day campus visit working directly with K-2 students. Low energy with children disqualifies strong credentials. That is intentional.
What You Will Be Doing- Creating and facilitating small-group K-2 reading workshops rooted in structured-literacy principles (Orton-Gillingham, Wilson, LETRS, IMSE, or comparable), informed by live student data
- Running daily motivation sessions that ensure every student meets their weekly adaptive-app targets, applying Alpha's motivational system (school currency, leader board, age-appropriate game elements)
- Conducting and interpreting running records, fluency assessments, and decoding evaluations to monitor progress and refine instruction for each session
- Analyzing AI-generated performance data from Alpha's adaptive platforms to differentiate instruction dynamically, not only during advance preparation
- Serving as the approachable, energetic adult presence your K-2 students are excited to see daily
- Implementing a packaged reading curriculum, scripted lesson sequence, or district timeline; you build lessons directly from student performance data
- Delivering whole-class lectures; instruction occurs in targeted small groups while students engage with adaptive apps for core academic subjects
- Serving as a reading consultant, teacher coach, or district administrator; you work in the classroom with children daily
- Managing a conventional classroom schedule—subject-by-subject lectures,…
