Your structured-literacy credential — Orton-Gillingham, LETRS, Wilson, IMSE, or a Master's in reading instruction — has opened the door to every K-2 reading position you've pursued. In most settings, that credential also marked the limit: you delivered someone else's curriculum and documented the results. At Alpha, the credential is your entry point. If that difference resonates with you, continue reading.

Alpha has redesigned traditional teaching. Students advance through academic content independently using AI-adaptive applications. No lectures, no textbooks, no district pacing calendars. Your role represents the one area where human expertise cannot be replaced. You create 20-minute small-group workshops informed by real-time app data; sessions are intentionally brief, because targeted instruction outperforms duration. You also facilitate motivation sessions that guide 100% of your students toward their weekly app targets using Alpha's motivational framework (campus currency, leaderboards, developmentally appropriate gamification).

You catch a student's reading error mid-session, identify the phonemic weakness, and revise tomorrow's workshop before the day ends. That is the expectation.

Families enrolled at these campuses have selected Alpha for measurable results, not mere enrollment. Parents review weekly data tracking their child's reading progress and they expect clarity. You will face specific questions about individual student advancement, and generic reassurances will not suffice. You will need to 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 focus on establishing credibility in the classroom. Workshops must be engaging, appropriately leveled, and demonstrably effective; student satisfaction and "love your Guide" survey scores (target 90%+) provide direct feedback. Once you prove your impact, your influence grows beyond your classroom: successful strategies from your students become models replicated across other Alpha campuses, and your diagnostic precision informs how reading instruction evolves as Alpha expands.

Your work extends beyond your immediate environment.

Before hiring, you will submit a short video presenting an engaging story for young children, and you will complete a full on-campus day working directly with K-2 students. Low energy with children disqualifies candidates, regardless of credential strength. This is intentional.

• Creating small-group K-2 reading workshops informed by live adaptive-app data, rooted in structured-literacy approaches (Orton-Gillingham, Wilson, LETRS, IMSE, or equivalent)
• Leading daily motivation sessions that ensure 100% of your students reach their weekly app targets using Alpha's motivational framework (campus currency, leaderboards, age-appropriate gamification)
• Analyzing AI-generated performance data (fluency trajectories, decoding precision, comprehension indicators) to modify instruction mid-day, not only during planning periods
