• Creating small‑group K‑3 reading workshops using live adaptive‑app data, anchored in structured‑literacy approaches (Orton‑Gillingham, Wilson, LETRS, IMSE, or equivalent).
• Leading daily motivation sessions that drive 100% of students to achieve their weekly app targets through Alpha's motivational model (school currency, leaderboards, age‑appropriate gamification).
• Analyzing AI‑generated performance data (fluency curves, decoding accuracy, comprehension signal) to modify instruction in real time, not only during planning periods.
• Conducting running records, fluency probes, and decoding assessments to generate gains visible during weekly campus data reviews.
• Serving as the energetic, relatable adult your K‑3 students are excited to see daily.

• Serving as a reading consultant, teacher coach, or district‑level specialist; you work in the classroom with children every day.
• Managing a traditional classroom schedule: subject‑by‑subject lectures, homework review, test preparation. Your scheduled time consists of workshops, motivation sessions, and data‑driven small groups.
• Preparing IEPs, 504 plans, or formal diagnostic reports; student progress is captured in app data and your running records, not special‑education documentation.

Generate measurable K‑3 reading gains across phonics, fluency, and comprehension within a campus community where outcomes undergo weekly review.

• Structured‑literacy certification (Orton‑Gillingham, LETRS, Wilson Reading System, IMSE, CERI, Neuhaus, UFLI, or equivalent) OR a Master's degree in reading instruction.
• Bachelor's degree in any field, plus 2+ years of full‑time K‑3 structured reading instruction in a school or clinical setting within the past 5 years, utilizing systematic phonics or structured literacy.
• Proven capacity to design independent reading lessons and clearly articulate your teaching methods and content, without depending on a published program.

  Beverly Hills, La Jolla (San Diego), Lake Forest (Orange County), Piedmont, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, or Santa Monica, CA;
  Greenwich, CT;
  Boca Raton, FL;
  Chicago, IL;
  Boston, MA; or New York City, NY (relocation assistance available).
• Readiness to work with all K‑3 students (not exclusively struggling readers) and incorporate AI and adaptive‑learning tools into daily instruction as those tools develop.
• Legal authorization to work in the U.S. without requiring visa sponsorship.

• Direct experience with AI‑powered or adaptive reading platforms (e.g., Amira, Lexia, i‑Ready, Reading Plus) for instructional planning or student data interpretation.
• Documented track record of measurable reading outcomes (fluency gains in WCPM, accuracy improvement, decoding level advancement) with specific numbers.
• Familiarity with diagnostic reading assessments (DRA, DIBELS, AIMSweb) for forming differentiated instructional groups.
• Experience in high‑accountability educational settings (independent schools, elite charter networks, premium tutoring environments where families closely monitor outcomes).
• Background in performance, youth sports coaching, or other contexts requiring you to engage a K‑3 audience beyond the reading classroom.
