Literacy Coach, Alpha

• $120,000 annual salary, paid weekly, with health, dental, and vision benefits starting day one
• On-site at one of Alpha's campuses:
  Beverly Hills, La Jolla (San Diego), Lake Forest (Orange County), Piedmont, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, or Santa Monica, CA;
  Greenwich, CT;
  Boca Raton, FL;
  Chicago, IL;
  Boston, MA; or New York City, NY (relocation assistance available)
• 40 hours per week, 100% in‑classroom with students in grades K‑3

Alpha has redesigned traditional instruction from the ground up. Students advance through academic content independently using AI‑adaptive applications. There are no lectures, textbooks, or pacing guides. Your role represents the one area where a human expert cannot be replaced. You build 20‑minute small‑group workshops using real‑time data from the apps; these sessions are deliberately brief, because targeted instruction outperforms duration. You also lead motivation sessions designed to ensure 100% of your students meet their weekly app targets, using Alpha's motivational framework (campus currency, leaderboards, age‑appropriate gamification).

When you catch a student's miscue during a session, you identify the underlying phonemic gap and redesign the next day's workshop before the day ends. That level of responsiveness is expected.

Families enrolling at these campuses have selected Alpha for measurable results, not simply enrollment. Parents receive weekly updates on their child's reading progress, and they come prepared with questions. You will field direct inquiries about individual student advancement, and vague reassurances will not suffice. You will reference the running record, identify the specific phonemic gap, and describe your instructional response. That level of accountability should energize you, not burden you.

Your initial months focus on establishing credibility in the classroom. Workshops must be engaging, appropriately leveled, and demonstrably effective; this is measured directly through student satisfaction and "love your Guide" survey results (target 90%+). Once you've proven your approach, your influence extends beyond your own students: successful methods from your classroom become templates for other Alpha campuses, and your diagnostic precision informs how reading instruction evolves across the network.

The impact of your work extends well beyond your immediate environment.

Before an offer is extended, you will submit a short video in which you tell an engaging story for young children, and you will complete a full‑day on‑campus visit working directly with K‑3 students. Low energy with children will disqualify you, regardless of credential strength. This is intentional. Apply today.
