You’ve invested years building mastery in structured literacy. 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 create a phonics lesson from scratch without a scripted program. That's expected. 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 first and foremost a Guide: a dynamic, engaging presence children are eager to work with. Your structured-literacy credentials open the door; your capacity to captivate a K-2 classroom for a 20-minute workshop is what earns you the role. If "dynamic, engaging presence" doesn't resonate with you, this isn't the right fit.

Alpha has dismantled conventional instruction. Students work through academic content independently on 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 using real-time 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 establishing rapport. Workshops must be engaging, appropriately levelled, and demonstrably effective. Student satisfaction metrics and "love your Guide" surveys (90%+ target) provide direct measurement. Once you've established that foundation, your responsibilities expand: analyzing AI-generated performance data to refine subsequent instruction, communicating fluency improvements and decoding progress to parents, and influencing how Alpha's K-2 reading methodology develops alongside the adaptive platforms.

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

Before extending an offer, you'll record a brief video delivering an engaging story for young children, and you'll spend a full day on campus engaging directly with K-2 students. Low energy with kids will disqualify you, regardless of credential strength. That's intentional.

• Creating and facilitating small-group K-2 reading workshops anchored in structured-literacy approaches (Orton-Gillingham, Wilson, LETRS, IMSE, or equivalent), driven by actual student data
• Facilitating daily motivation sessions that ensure 100% of your students achieve 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 applications to differentiate instruction in the moment, not solely during pre-planning
• Serving as the approachable, energetic adult your K-2 students anticipate seeing every day

• Implementing a published reading curriculum, scripted program, or district pacing calendar; you create your own lessons using student data
• Delivering whole-class lectures; all instruction occurs in small, targeted groups while students complete academic subjects through adaptive apps
• Serving as a reading consultant, instructional coach to other teachers, or…
