Learning Specialist, Alpha

• Annual salary of $120,000, paid weekly, with health, dental, and vision coverage starting on day one
• Full‑time placement at a single Alpha campus location:
  Beverly Hills, La Jolla (San Diego), Lake Forest (Orange County), Palo Alto, Piedmont, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, South Bay (LA), Greenwich, CT, Boca Raton or Miami Beach, FL, Chicago, IL, Boston, MA, Charlotte, NC, or New York City, NY (relocation assistance available)
• 40‑hour workweek, entirely classroom‑based with K‑2 learners

The structured‑literacy credential you hold — Orton‑Gillingham, LETRS, Wilson, IMSE, or a Master’s in reading instruction — has opened every K‑2 reading position you’ve pursued. At Alpha, that credential begins your work. If that shift is meaningful to you, continue reading.

Alpha has dismantled conventional teaching models. Students advance through academic content autonomously via AI‑adaptive applications. There are no lectures, textbooks, or prescribed pacing calendars. Your function is the singular space where human expertise cannot be substituted. You construct 20‑minute small‑group instruction blocks using live app‑generated data; sessions are brief intentionally, because targeted precision outweighs duration. You also facilitate motivation blocks that propel 100% of students toward their weekly app benchmarks through Alpha’s motivational framework (campus currency, performance leaderboards, developmentally appropriate game mechanics).

You catch a phonemic error during instruction, identify the underlying gap, and recalibrate the next day’s workshop before you leave. That level of responsiveness is expected.

Families enrolling at these locations have selected Alpha for measurable results, not merely enrollment. Parents review weekly analytics on their child’s reading progress and engage actively. You will field specific inquiries about individual student advancement, and generic reassurances will not suffice. You must reference the running record, identify the phonemic deficit, and articulate your instructional response. That level of accountability should energize you, not create resistance.

Your initial period centers on establishing credibility. Workshops must be engaging, appropriately leveled, and demonstrably effective; student satisfaction scores and the “love your Guide” survey results (target 90%+) provide direct feedback. Once you demonstrate consistent success, your influence extends beyond your own classroom: strategies that succeed with your students become templates adopted across other Alpha campuses, and your diagnostic precision informs how reading instruction evolves as Alpha expands.

Your contributions reach beyond your immediate environment.

Prior to an offer, you will submit a brief video presenting an engaging narrative for young children, and you will complete a full on‑campus day working directly with K‑2 students. Low energy with children will disqualify candidacy, regardless of credential strength.

• Construct small‑group K‑2 reading instruction sessions from real‑time adaptive‑app analytics, rooted in structured‑literacy approaches (Orton‑Gillingham, Wilson, LETRS, IMSE, or comparable methods)
• Lead daily motivation blocks that drive 100% of students to weekly app targets using Alpha’s motivational system (campus currency, performance leaderboards, developmentally appropriate game mechanics)
• Analyze AI‑generated performance metrics (fluency trajectories, decoding precision, comprehension indicators) to modify instruction throughout the day, not solely during planning periods
• Conduct running records, fluency assessments, and decoding evaluations to generate progress visible in weekly campus data sessions
• Serve as the engaging, high‑energy adult your K‑2 students anticipate interacting with daily

• Implement a published reading curriculum, scripted instructional program, or district pacing calendar; you construct lessons directly from student performance data
• Deliver whole‑class lectures; all teaching occurs in small, targeted groups while students engage with academic content through adaptive applications
• Function as a reading…
