Reading Program Coordinator, Alpha - $120,000​/year USD

• $120,000 annual salary paid weekly, health/dental/vision coverage effective immediately
• Full-time on-site position at one Alpha campus:

  Palo Alto, CA;
  Piedmont, CA;
  San Francisco, CA;
  Santa Monica, CA;
  Seattle, WA;

• 40-hour workweek spent entirely in the classroom with students in grades K-3

Your structured-literacy certification - Orton-Gillingham, LETRS, Wilson, IMSE, or a Master's in reading instruction - has opened the door at every K-3 reading position you've pursued. In most roles, it also represented the limit: you delivered a prescribed program and documented results. At Alpha, the credential marks the entry point. If that difference resonates with you, continue reading.

Alpha has redesigned traditional instruction from the ground up. Students advance through academic content autonomously using AI-adaptive applications. There are no lectures, textbooks, or pacing calendars. Your function is the one domain where human expertise cannot be replaced. You build 20-minute small-group workshops using live app data; sessions are deliberately brief because targeted instruction outperforms duration. You also facilitate motivation sessions that guide 100% of students toward their weekly app targets using Alpha's motivational framework (campus currency, leaderboards, age-appropriate game mechanics).

You detect a miscue during a session, identify the underlying phonemic deficit, and recalibrate tomorrow's workshop before the day ends. That is the expectation.

Families enrolling at these campuses have selected Alpha for measurable progress, not simply enrollment. Parents review weekly data tracking their child's reading development and they engage actively. You will field specific questions about individual student trajectories, and vague reassurances will not suffice. You will reference the running record, identify the phonemic deficit, and describe your instructional response. That level of accountability should energize you, not 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 feedback. As you demonstrate success, your influence expands beyond your immediate classroom: strategies that prove effective with your students inform instructional models adopted across other Alpha campuses, and your diagnostic precision influences reading instruction as Alpha scales.

What you create here extends well beyond your classroom walls.

Before we extend an offer, you will submit a brief video in which you tell a captivating story for young children, and you will spend an entire day on campus working directly with K-3 students. Low energy with children disqualifies candidates regardless of credential strength. That is intentional.

• Creating small-group reading workshops for K-3 students based on real-time adaptive-app data, rooted in structured-literacy approaches (Orton-Gillingham, Wilson, LETRS, IMSE, or comparable)
• Conducting daily motivation sessions to ensure 100% of your students meet their weekly app objectives using Alpha's motivational system (campus currency, leaderboards, age-appropriate gamification)
• Analyzing AI-generated performance metrics (fluency trajectories, decoding precision, comprehension indicators) to modify instruction mid-day rather than solely during planning periods
• Conducting running records, fluency probes, and decoding evaluations to generate growth visible in the weekly campus data analysis
• Serving as the engaging, high-energy adult your K-3 students anticipate seeing daily

• Implementing a commercially published reading curriculum, scripted lesson sequence, or district pacing calendar; you build lessons directly from student performance data
• Delivering whole-class instruction; all teaching occurs in targeted, small-group formats while students work through academic subjects using adaptive applications
• Serving as a reading consultant, instructional coach for colleagues, or district-level specialist; you work face-to-face with students every day
• Managing a conventional classroom schedule: sequential subject lectures, homework correction, test preparation. Your time is allocated to workshops, motivation sessions, and data-informed small groups
• Developing IEPs, 504 plans, or formal diagnostic evaluations; student advancement is tracked through app analytics and your running records, not special-education documentation

Generate quantifiable K-3 reading progress across phonics, fluency, and comprehension within a campus culture where outcomes are assessed weekly.
