Reading Interventionist, Alpha

Compensation & Location

• $100,000 annual salary, paid weekly, with health, dental, and vision coverage starting day one
• Full‑time on‑site position at a single 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 hours per week, 100% classroom‑based work with K‑2 students

You have dedicated years to mastering structured literacy. Whether it’s Orton‑Gillingham, LETRS, Wilson, IMSE, or a Master’s in reading instruction, you can identify a student’s miscue and pinpoint the exact phonemic gap to address. You can build a phonics lesson from scratch—no scripted curriculum necessary. That baseline is expected. What sets you apart is that six‑year‑olds are excited when you enter the room.

At Alpha, this position is first and foremost a Guide: a dynamic, engaging presence children genuinely enjoy working with. Your structured‑literacy knowledge opens the door; your capacity to captivate a K‑2 classroom for a 20‑minute workshop is what secures the hire. If you are not a dynamic, engaging presence, this position isn’t the right fit.

Alpha has fundamentally redesigned traditional instruction. Students progress through academic content independently using AI‑adaptive applications—no lectures, no textbooks, no pacing calendars. Your position 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 earning the classroom. Workshops must be engaging, appropriately leveled, and demonstrably effective. Student satisfaction metrics and “love your Guide” surveys (goal of 90 %+) provide direct measurement. Once you’ve established that foundation, your responsibilities expand: analyzing AI‑generated performance data to modify upcoming instruction, communicating fluency improvements and decoding progress to parents, and contributing to how Alpha’s K‑2 reading methodology develops alongside adaptive technology.

As Alpha opens new campuses, the systems you build become the blueprint for reading instruction across the organization.

Prior to hire, you’ll submit a brief video delivering an engaging story for young children, and you’ll complete a full day on campus working directly with K‑2 students. Low energy with children is disqualifying, regardless of credential strength.

• 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)
