You have deep training in structured literacy. Orton-Gillingham. LETRS. Wilson. IMSE. Or a Master's focused on reading. You listen to a miscue and pinpoint the phonemic weakness. You build phonics lessons without a script. That expertise is your baseline, not your differentiator.
What sets you apart is your presence with young children. At Alpha, the role of Guide comes first: you are a magnetic, high-energy figure whom six-year-olds are excited to work with. Your structured-literacy training opens the door; your capacity to hold K-2 students engaged for a 20-minute workshop determines whether you are hired. If "magnetic, high-energy" does not capture who you are, this position is not a fit.
Alpha has dismantled conventional instruction. Students advance through academic content independently on AI-adaptive platforms—no lectures, no textbooks, no district calendars. Your position represents the one irreplaceable human touchpoint. You create small-group reading workshops informed by live student performance data, and you facilitate motivation sessions that ensure 100% of students reach their weekly app targets, leveraging Alpha's motivational framework (school currency, leaderboards, age-appropriate game mechanics).
Your initial months center on building rapport. Workshops must be engaging, appropriately leveled, and demonstrably effective. Student satisfaction metrics and "love your Guide" survey results (goal: 90%+) track that directly. Once you establish credibility, your influence expands: reading AI-generated performance analytics to refine upcoming instruction, communicating fluency gains and decoding progress to families, and helping shape Alpha's evolving K-2 literacy strategy alongside adaptive technology. As Alpha opens additional campuses, the systems you develop become the blueprint for reading instruction across the organization.
Prior to hiring, you will submit a brief video of yourself delivering an engaging story for young children, and you will complete a full-day campus visit working directly with K-2 students. Low energy with children disqualifies strong credentials. That is intentional. Submit your application now.
