This position is first and foremost a Guide—a captivating, high‑energy presence that students love. You create small‑group reading workshops based on structured‑literacy approaches (Orton‑Gillingham, Wilson, LETRS, IMSE, or equivalent), informed by live student performance data. You also facilitate daily motivation sessions that ensure 100% of students reach their weekly adaptive‑app targets using Alpha’s motivational framework.

Initial responsibilities focus on earning student trust and designing engaging, leveled workshops. As you demonstrate mastery, you will analyze AI‑generated performance data, refine instruction, communicate progress to parents, and influence the evolution of Alpha’s K‑2 reading methodology nationwide.

• Bachelor’s degree in any field, plus 2+ years of full‑time K‑2 structured reading instruction in a school or clinical environment, using systematic phonics or structured literacy.
• Proven ability to create your own reading lessons and clearly articulate what you teach and how, without depending on a published program.
• Willingness to work on‑site full‑time at one Alpha campus (list of campuses as above).
• Willingness to work with all K‑2 students (not only struggling readers) and to incorporate AI and adaptive‑learning tools into everyday instruction.
• Legally authorized to work in the U.S. or Puerto Rico without visa sponsorship.
• Bilingual English/Spanish required for the Dorado, Puerto Rico campus.

• Direct experience with AI‑powered or adaptive reading platforms (e.g., Amira, Lexia, i‑Ready, Reading Plus) for lesson planning or student data interpretation.
• Documented record of measurable reading outcomes (fluency gains in WCPM, accuracy improvement, decoding level advancement) with specific numbers.
• Experience in non‑traditional or innovative school environments (charter, micro‑school, Montessori, hybrid).

Alpha School is reshaping education with a bold approach that harnesses AI to accelerate learning and unleash student potential. Alpha’s model frees students from traditional lectures and textbooks, allowing them to master core academics in just two hours a day while engaging in passion‑driven learning.

Before an offer is extended, you will record a brief video sharing an engaging story for young children, and you will spend a full day on campus working directly with K‑2 learners. Low energy with students is disqualifying, regardless of credential strength.
