Literacy Coordinator, Alpha - $100,000​/year USD

• $100,000 annual salary, paid weekly, including health, dental, and vision benefits from day one
• Full-time on-site at one Alpha campus:
  Phoenix, AZ;
  Oklahoma City or Tulsa, OK;
  Fort Worth (Keller), Dallas, Plano, or The Woodlands, TX; or Park City (Salt Lake City), UT (relocation assistance available)
• 40-hour workweek, entirely in-classroom with K-2 students

You've invested years in structured literacy mastery. Orton-Gillingham, LETRS, Wilson, IMSE, or a Master's in reading instruction. You can diagnose a phonemic gap from a single miscue. You can build a phonics lesson from scratch, without a scripted program. That's the baseline. It's not what sets you apart.

What sets you apart is that six-year-olds get excited when you enter the room. At Alpha, this position is a Guide role first: a dynamic, engaging presence students genuinely enjoy learning with. Your structured-literacy credentials open the door; your capacity to captivate a K-2 classroom during a 20-minute workshop is what earns you the offer. If "dynamic, engaging presence" doesn't characterize you, this isn't the right fit.

Alpha has reimagined traditional instruction. Students work through academic content independently on AI-adaptive platforms — no lectures, no textbooks, no district pacing calendars. Your role represents the one area where a human expert cannot be replaced. You create small-group reading workshops based on live student performance data, and you facilitate motivation sessions that ensure 100% of your students reach their weekly app targets using Alpha's motivational framework (school currency, leaderboards, age-appropriate gamification).

Your initial months focus on winning the room. Workshops must be engaging, differentiated, and demonstrably effective. Student satisfaction metrics and "love your Guide" survey results (target 90%+) measure that directly. Once you've proven yourself, your responsibilities expand: analyzing AI-generated performance data to refine subsequent instruction, communicating fluency gains and decoding progress to parents, and influencing how Alpha's K-2 reading model evolves alongside adaptive technology.

As Alpha opens new campuses, your work becomes the blueprint for reading instruction across the network.

Before hiring, you'll record a brief video presenting an engaging story for young children, and you'll spend an entire day on campus working directly with K-2 students. Low energy with children is disqualifying, regardless of credential strength. That's intentional.

• Creating and facilitating small-group K-2 reading workshops rooted in structured-literacy approaches (Orton-Gillingham, Wilson, LETRS, IMSE, or equivalent), informed by live student data
• Facilitating daily motivation sessions that ensure 100% of your students meet their weekly adaptive-app targets, leveraging Alpha's motivational framework (school currency, leaderboards, age-appropriate gamification)
• Conducting and evaluating running records, fluency probes, and decoding assessments to monitor progress and refine subsequent instruction
• Analyzing AI-generated performance data from Alpha's adaptive learning platforms to differentiate instruction in the moment, not just during planning
• Serving as the approachable, dynamic adult your K-2 students are excited to see every day

• Implementing a published reading curriculum, scripted program, or district pacing guide; you create your own lessons based on student data
• Delivering whole-class lectures; all instruction occurs in small, targeted groups and students complete academic subjects through adaptive apps
• Serving as a reading consultant, instructional coach, or district-level specialist; you work in the classroom with students every day
• Managing a traditional classroom schedule — subject-by-subject lectures, homework review, test prep; your time is dedicated to workshops, motivation sessions, and data-driven small groups
• Assigning grades or completing report cards; student progress is tracked through app data and your running records
