Reading Interventionist, Alpha

Compensation and Schedule

• Salaried at $120,000 per year with weekly pay and full health, dental, and vision coverage starting day one
• Full‑time, on‑site position at a single Alpha campus:
  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‑hour workweek spent entirely in the classroom working directly with K‑3 students

Your structured‑literacy training — Orton‑Gillingham, LETRS, Wilson, IMSE, or a Master's in reading — has opened doors to every K‑3 reading position you've pursued. At Alpha, the credential is your entry point. If that difference resonates with you, read on.

Alpha has dismantled conventional teaching models. Students advance through academic content independently using AI‑adaptive applications. There are no lectures, textbooks, or pacing calendars. Your position represents the irreplaceable human element. Using real‑time data from the apps, you build 20‑minute small‑group workshops; brevity is intentional because targeted instruction outperforms duration. You also facilitate motivation sessions designed to help 100% of students reach their weekly app targets through Alpha's motivational framework (school currency, leaderboards, age‑appropriate game mechanics).

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

Families enrolling at these campuses selected Alpha for results, not simply access. Parents review weekly data on their child's reading development, and they engage actively. You will field specific questions about individual student progress, and vague reassurances will not suffice. You must reference the running record, name the phonemic weakness, and describe your instructional response. This accountability should energize you, not exhaust you.

Your initial months focus on establishing credibility. Workshops must be engaging, appropriately leveled, and demonstrably effective; student satisfaction surveys and "love your Guide" ratings (target 90%+) provide direct feedback. Once you establish your effectiveness, your influence expands beyond your classroom: successful strategies from your students become templates for other Alpha campuses, and your diagnostic precision informs reading instruction across Alpha's expansion.

Your work extends well beyond your immediate environment.

Prior to an offer, you will submit a brief video of yourself delivering an engaging story for young children, and you will complete a full day on campus working hands‑on with K‑3 students. Low energy with children disqualifies candidates, regardless of credential strength. This is intentional.

• Creating small‑group K‑3 reading workshops based on live adaptive‑app data, rooted in structured‑literacy approaches (Orton‑Gillingham, Wilson, LETRS, IMSE, or equivalent)
• Leading daily motivation sessions to ensure 100% of students meet weekly app goals through Alpha's motivational system (school currency, leaderboards, age‑appropriate gamification)
• Analyzing AI‑generated performance metrics (fluency trajectories, decoding precision, comprehension indicators) to modify instruction in real time, not only during planning periods
• Conducting running records, fluency probes, and decoding assessments to generate growth visible in weekly campus data meetings
• Serving as the engaging, dynamic adult your K‑3 students eagerly anticipate seeing each day

• Implementing a published reading curriculum, scripted lesson plan, or district pacing calendar; you create lessons directly from student data
• Delivering whole‑class lectures; all teaching occurs in small, targeted groups while students work through academic subjects on adaptive apps
• Serving as a reading consultant, instructional coach, or district‑level specialist; you work in the classroom with children daily
• Managing a conventional classroom schedule: subject‑by‑subject lectures, homework correction, test preparation. Your time is…
