Reading Program Coordinator, Alpha

Job Overview

$120,000 annual salary paid weekly, health/dental/vision coverage effective from day one. Full‑time on‑site position at a single Alpha campus:
Beverly Hills, La Jolla (San Diego), Lake Forest (Orange County), Palo Alto, Piedmont, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, or South Bay (LA), CA;
Greenwich, CT;
Boca Raton or Miami Beach, FL;
Chicago, IL;
Boston, MA;
Charlotte, NC; or New York City, NY (relocation assistance available). 40‑hour work week, entirely classroom‑based with K‑2 learners.

Your structured‑literacy credential—whether Orton‑Gillingham, LETRS, Wilson, IMSE, or a Master's in reading instruction—has opened doors to every K‑2 reading position you’ve pursued. At Alpha that credential marks your entry point. Alpha has dismantled conventional instruction 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. You create 20‑minute small‑group workshops using real‑time application data;

sessions are deliberately brief because targeted instruction outperforms duration. You also lead motivation sessions designed to drive 100% of students toward their weekly app targets through Alpha’s motivational framework (campus currency, leaderboards, developmentally appropriate gamification). When you identify a student's miscue during a session, you isolate the phonemic deficit and redesign the next workshop by day's end. This is the expected standard.

Families enrolling at these campuses have selected Alpha for measurable results, not simply enrollment. Parents review weekly data tracking their child's reading development, and they arrive with questions. You will field specific inquiries about individual student progress, and vague reassurances will not suffice. You must reference the running record, identify the phonemic gap, and articulate your instructional response. This level of accountability should energize rather than burden you.

Your initial months center on establishing credibility. Workshops must be engaging, appropriately leveled, and demonstrably effective; student satisfaction and "love your Guide" survey results (target 90%+) provide direct measurement. Once you establish your effectiveness, your influence expands beyond your classroom: successful strategies with your students inform the approach other Alpha campuses implement, and your diagnostic precision influences reading instruction as Alpha scales.

Your contributions extend well beyond your immediate environment.

Prior to hiring, you will submit a brief video recording where you tell an engaging story for young children, and you will complete a full day on campus working directly with K‑2 students. Low energy with children disqualifies candidates regardless of credential strength. Apply today.
