- $100,000 annual salary paid weekly, health/dental/vision coverage starting day one
- Full-time on-site position 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, 100% classroom-based with K-2 students
You’ve invested years building expertise in structured literacy. Orton-Gillingham, LETRS, Wilson, IMSE, or perhaps a Master’s in reading instruction. You recognize a student's miscue and immediately identify the phonemic gap. You design phonics instruction without relying on scripted materials. That’s baseline. It won't differentiate you.
What sets you apart is that six‑year‑olds respond to you with enthusiasm. At Alpha, this position is Guide‑first: a dynamic, magnetic presence children genuinely enjoy learning with. Your structured‑literacy background opens the door; your capacity to engage a K‑2 classroom completely during a 20‑minute workshop is what secures the hire. If “dynamic, magnetic presence” doesn't fit your style, this position isn't right for you.
Alpha has replaced traditional instruction models. Students progress through academic content independently using AI‑adaptive applications — no lectures, textbooks, or pacing calendars. Your function is the singular place where human expertise cannot be substituted. You create small‑group reading workshops driven by live student performance data, and you facilitate motivation sessions designed to ensure 100% of students reach their weekly app targets using Alpha's motivational framework (school currency, leaderboards, developmentally appropriate gamification).
Your initial months focus on establishing credibility with students. Workshops must be engaging, appropriately leveled, and demonstrably effective. Student satisfaction metrics and “love your Guide” survey results (target 90%+) directly reflect your success. Once proven, your responsibilities expand: analyzing AI‑generated performance data to refine subsequent instruction, communicating fluency progress and decoding growth to parents, and influencing how Alpha's K‑2 reading methodology evolves with the adaptive technology.
As Alpha opens additional campuses, your work becomes the blueprint for reading instruction across the network.
Prior to hire, you'll submit a brief video telling an engaging story suited for young children, and you'll complete a full day on campus working directly with K‑2 students. Low energy with children disqualifies candidates regardless of credentials. This is intentional. Apply today.
