Your structured-literacy training — whether Orton-Gillingham, LETRS, Wilson, IMSE, or a Master s in reading — has opened the door to every K-3 reading position you ve pursued. In most cases, that credential also defined the limit: you executed a pre-set program and documented results. At Alpha, that credential is where your work begins. If that difference is meaningful to you, continue reading.

Alpha has replaced conventional instruction. Students advance through academic content independently using AI-adaptive applications. No lectures, textbooks, or pacing calendars. Your position is where human expertise cannot be substituted. You create 20-minute targeted workshops using live app data; sessions are deliberately brief because focused instruction outperforms duration. You also facilitate motivation sessions designed to guide 100% of students toward weekly app targets via Alpha s motivational framework (campus currency, leaderboards, developmentally appropriate game mechanics).

You catch a miscue during instruction, identify the phonemic deficiency, and redesign the next day s workshop before you leave. That is the expectation.

Families at these locations have selected Alpha for measurable results, not simply enrollment. Parents review weekly data tracking their child s reading progress and they expect clarity. You will field specific questions about individual student advancement, and vague reassurances will not suffice. You will reference the running record, name the phonemic weakness, and describe your instructional response. That level of 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 and "love your Guide" survey scores (target: 90%+) provide direct feedback. Once you ve proven your model, your influence expands beyond your classroom: what succeeds with your students becomes the template other Alpha campuses follow, and your diagnostic precision informs reading instruction as Alpha scales.

What you develop here extends well beyond your own space.

Prior to hiring, you will submit a short video in which you tell a compelling story for young children, and you will spend a full day on campus teaching K-3 students directly. Low energy with children will disqualify you, regardless of credential strength. That is intentional.

What You Will Be Doing

• Creating targeted K-3 reading workshops using real-time 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 objectives through Alpha s motivational system (campus currency, leaderboards, age-appropriate gamification)
• Analyzing AI-generated performance metrics (fluency trajectories, decoding precision, comprehension indicators) to modify instruction in real time, not just during planning periods
• Conducting running records, fluency assessments, and decoding evaluations that yield measurable progress visible in weekly campus data meetings
• Serving as the approachable, enthusiastic adult your K-3 students are excited to see daily

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Implementing a commercial reading curriculum, scripted lesson plan, or district pacing calendar; you…
