You have dedicated years to becoming proficient in structured literacy methods. You can identify a student's reading error and immediately pinpoint the phonemic skill that needs attention. Yet you have also experienced how traditional systems underutilize that knowledge: classrooms with 25 or more students, inflexible curriculum timelines, standardized programs that disregard the insights your assessment data provides. If you have ever considered, "I could accelerate these students' progress significantly if I could teach according to what the data reveals," this opportunity warrants your attention.
The 2-Hour Learning model at Alpha School integrates AI-powered adaptive platforms with skilled human teaching. Students work through academic content independently using individualized applications. There are no whole-group lessons, no traditional textbooks, no mandated pacing schedules. Your position focuses on the instructional area where human expertise cannot be replaced: targeted small-group reading workshops in which you create and implement structured literacy lessons customized to each learner's phonics and decoding stage. You will leverage real-time performance analytics generated by AI to prepare every session, make immediate instructional adjustments, and track progress through fluency metrics, accuracy rates, and decoding skill development.
In addition to reading workshops, you will facilitate motivation sessions designed to maintain K-2 students' engagement with their learning objectives. You will serve as their guide, their supporter, the individual who recognizes their name, their interests, and precisely where they stand in their literacy development. The expectation: all students achieve their weekly targets, and over 90% describe their Guide as someone they genuinely enjoy learning from. This role emphasizes measurable outcomes you can observe and quantify each week, not curriculum coverage. As Alpha School grows to additional locations, the instructional framework you establish here will serve as the national standard for reading education.
If you are convinced that structured literacy achieves optimal results when it is individualized, informed by data, and taught by someone who authentically energizes a group of young learners, this position aligns with that conviction. Submit your application today.
What you will be doing
- Creating and facilitating small-group reading workshops centered on systematic phonics, decoding skills, and writing for students in grades K-2
- Conducting and evaluating running records to determine each student's reading proficiency and inform targeted lesson planning
- Analyzing AI-generated performance metrics to modify instruction immediately during sessions, not only in advance preparation
- Facilitating motivation sessions that support students in progressing through their learning applications and achieving 100% of weekly objectives
- Tailoring instruction within targeted reading groups according to individual learning preferences and requirements
What you will NOT be doing
- Implementing a commercial reading program or following scripted lesson plans (you create lessons driven by student assessment data)
- Conducting whole-class instruction (all teaching occurs in small, targeted groups)
- Providing instruction in academic subjects (students engage with math, science, and other content areas independently through adaptive applications)
- Operating within a conventional classroom structure with scheduled bells, transitions, and uniform pacing requirements
- Evaluating homework assignments or completing report cards (student advancement is monitored via application analytics and running records)
Key responsibilities
Provide structured literacy instruction that produces measurable acceleration in K-2 reading performance across phonics, fluency, and decoding skills.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any field
- Master's degree in reading instruction OR certification in structured literacy (Orton-Gillingham, Wilson Reading System, IMSE, CERI, LETRS, Neuhaus, UFLI, or equivalent)
- Minimum of 2 years of full-time K-2 structured reading instruction in a school or clinical environment using systematic phonics or structured literacy approaches, completed within the past 5 years
- Demonstrated experience creating original reading lessons (not exclusively using published programs)
- Readiness to incorporate AI and adaptive learning platforms for lesson planning and student performance analysis
- Readiness to work on-site at an Alpha School campus in one of the specified locations
- Readiness to instruct all K-2 students, not exclusively those identified as struggling readers
- Legal authorization to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Background using AI or adaptive learning platforms (e.g., Lexia, i-Ready, Amira) for lesson planning or student performance analysis
- Documented history of quantifying and communicating specific reading gains from interventions (e.g., fluency improvements in WCPM, advancement in decoding levels)
- Background in non-traditional or innovative educational environments (charter, micro-school, Montessori, hybrid)
- Fluency in both English and Spanish
