You have developed deep expertise in structured literacy over many years. You can identify a student's miscue and pinpoint the exact phonemic gap requiring attention. Yet you have also observed how conventional systems underutilize that skill: classrooms with 25 or more students, inflexible pacing guides, standardized curricula that disregard what your running records reveal. If you have ever considered "I could significantly accelerate these students' progress if I could teach according to what the data indicates," continue reading.
Alpha School's 2-Hour Learning framework combines AI-adaptive technology with specialized human teaching. Students work through academic content independently using personalized applications. Lectures, textbooks, and pacing guides do not exist. Your position occupies the space where human expertise cannot be replaced: small-group reading workshops in which you create and execute structured literacy instruction customized to each student's phonics and decoding stage. You will utilize real-time AI-generated performance metrics to structure each session, make immediate adjustments, and track outcomes through fluency gains, accuracy improvements, and decoding progress.
In addition to reading workshops, you will facilitate motivation sessions designed to keep K-2 students connected to their learning objectives. You will serve as their coach and advocate—the person who remembers their name, understands their interests, and tracks precisely where they stand in their reading development. The objective: 100% of students achieve their weekly targets, and 90%+ rate their Guide as someone they genuinely enjoy learning with. This role prioritizes measurable results you can observe and document every week, not curriculum coverage. As Alpha grows into additional campuses, the systems you develop will define the standard for reading instruction across the organization.
If you are convinced that structured literacy achieves optimal results when it is personalized, informed by data, and taught by someone who truly connects with young learners, this role embodies that conviction. Apply today.
What you will be doing
- Creating and facilitating small-group reading workshops centered on systematic phonics, decoding, and writing for K-2 students
- Conducting and evaluating running records to determine each student's reading level and inform targeted instruction
- Using AI-generated student performance metrics to modify instruction in real time, beyond traditional pre-planning phases
- Leading motivation sessions that support students in progressing through their learning apps and achieving 100% of weekly targets
- Tailoring instruction across focused reading groups according to individual learning styles and specific needs
What you will NOT be doing
- Implementing a published reading program or scripted curriculum (you create lessons informed by student data)
- Delivering instruction to a full classroom (all teaching occurs in small, targeted groups)
- Teaching academic subjects such as math or science (students complete these independently through adaptive apps)
- Operating within a traditional classroom schedule featuring bells, transitions, and standardized pacing guides
- Grading homework or producing report cards (progress tracking relies on app data and running records)
Key responsibilities
Provide structured literacy instruction that produces measurable acceleration in K-2 reading outcomes, including phonics, fluency, and decoding.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any subject
- Master's in reading instruction OR structured literacy certification (Orton-Gillingham, Wilson Reading System, IMSE, CERI, LETRS, Neuhaus, UFLI, or similar)
- 2+ years of full-time K-2 structured reading instruction in a school or clinical setting using systematic phonics or structured literacy, within the last 5 years
- Experience creating original reading lessons (not exclusively using a published program)
- Willingness to incorporate AI and adaptive learning tools for instructional planning and student data analysis
- Willingness to work in-person at an Alpha School campus in one of the listed locations
- Willingness to instruct all K-2 students, not solely struggling readers
- Legally authorized to work in the U.S. without visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Experience utilizing AI or adaptive learning tools (e.g., Lexia, i-Ready, Amira) for instructional planning or student data analysis
- Demonstrated history of measuring and communicating specific reading outcomes from interventions (e.g., fluency gains in WCPM, decoding level advancement)
- Experience in non-traditional or innovative school models (charter, micro-school, Montessori, hybrid)
- Bilingual proficiency in English and Spanish
