You have invested years developing expertise in structured literacy. You recognize the phonemic gap behind every student miscue. Yet you have witnessed the educational system underutilize that expertise: classrooms exceeding 25 students, inflexible pacing guides, uniform curricula that disregard the insights from your running records. If the thought "these students could achieve twice the growth if instruction aligned with the data" resonates with you, continue reading.
Alpha School's 2-Hour Learning model integrates AI-adaptive software with skilled human instruction. Academic coursework is completed by students independently through personalized applications. Lectures, textbooks, and pacing guides are absent. Your responsibility centers on the irreplaceable human contribution: small-group reading workshops where you create and implement structured literacy instruction calibrated to each student's phonics and decoding level. Real-time performance data generated by AI will inform your session planning, enable mid-session adjustments, and quantify outcomes through fluency gains, accuracy improvements, and decoding progression.
In addition to reading workshops, you will facilitate motivation sessions designed to sustain K-2 student engagement with learning objectives. You will serve as coach, encourager, and the individual who knows each student's name, interests, and precise position in their reading development. The objective: 100% of students achieve weekly targets, and 90%+ rate their Guide as someone they enjoy working with. This position emphasizes measurable results observable every week, not curriculum coverage. As Alpha opens new campuses, the instructional model you establish here will serve as the national template for reading instruction.
If you believe structured literacy achieves optimal results through personalization, data integration, and delivery by someone who genuinely energizes a room of six-year-olds, this position aligns that belief with professional practice. 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 guide targeted instruction
- Analyzing AI-generated student performance data to modify instruction in real time, beyond pre-planning phases
- Facilitating motivation sessions that support students in progressing through learning apps and achieving 100% of weekly targets
- Tailoring instruction within focused reading groups according to individual learning styles and requirements
What you will NOT be doing
- Implementing a published reading program or scripted curriculum (you create custom lessons driven by student data)
- Delivering instruction to a full classroom (all teaching occurs in small, targeted groups)
- Teaching academic content areas (students complete math, science, and other subjects independently through adaptive apps)
- Operating within a traditional classroom schedule governed by bells, transitions, and standardized pacing guides
- Evaluating homework or issuing report cards (progress is monitored via app data and running records)
Key responsibilities
Provide structured literacy instruction that produces measurable acceleration in K-2 reading outcomes across 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 designing original reading lessons (not solely relying on a published program)
- Willingness to use 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 work with all K-2 students, not only struggling readers
- Legally authorized to work in the U.S. without visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Experience using AI or adaptive learning tools (e.g., Lexia, i-Ready, Amira) for instructional planning or student data analysis
- Track record of measuring and articulating specific reading outcomes from interventions (e.g., fluency gains in WCPM, decoding level advancement)
- Experience working in non-traditional or innovative school models (charter, micro-school, Montessori, hybrid)
- Bilingual in English and Spanish
