Early Literacy Specialist   $100,000 USD/year

Description

  • On-site position in Dorado, Puerto Rico
  • $100,000 annual salary with weekly pay
  • Relocation assistance provided

Do you believe all children should read at or above grade level, but find yourself frustrated by ineffective systems that fail to unlock their promise?

Alpha School demonstrates that literacy transformation doesn't demand 6-hour school days. Our 2-Hour Learning approach combines AI-adaptive technology with skilled teaching to accelerate reading development. Your role: create and execute workshops that produce measurable improvements in phonics, fluency, and comprehension for early elementary learners.

This is not about administrative lesson-plan busywork. It's about data-informed teaching, technology partnership, and constructing a reading program that scales to thousands of students.

Why Dorado: Pristine coastline moments from your door. A lively bilingual setting with convenient access to San Juan's arts and culture, all while enjoying the calm of small-town living.

Lead instruction. Embrace growth. Apply today.

What you will be doing

  • Leading adaptive reading workshops that build phonics, fluency, and comprehension abilities
  • Creating personalized motivational experiences using gamified literacy benchmarks
  • Reviewing student performance data to adjust instruction and identify actionable patterns
  • Partnering with engineers to assess and improve AI literacy platforms based on real classroom outcomes
  • Building scalable, AI-supported materials that help early elementary students reach grade-level reading proficiency

What you will NOT be doing

  • Standing at the front delivering lectures — students engage through self-directed AI applications, not passive listening
  • Adhering to a boxed curriculum or scripted lessons — you create your workshops independently
  • Teaching content subjects — your scope is reading workshops and motivational support, not math or science instruction
  • Managing behavior or supervising playtime — every session is structured around clear learning goals and measurable results
  • Operating alone — you work closely with the engineers who develop the AI tools your students interact with each day

Key responsibilities

Guarantee that every K-2 student in your group achieves grade-level reading or higher through AI-enhanced workshops that make phonics instruction engaging, trackable, and enjoyable

Candidate requirements

  • Bachelor's degree plus either a Master's in reading instruction OR structured literacy certification (Orton-Gillingham, Wilson, IMSE, CERI, LETRS, Neuhaus, UFLI, or equivalent)
  • Fluency in both English and Spanish (essential for student and family communication)
  • 2+ years conducting small-group reading interventions with early elementary students
  • Capable of evaluating reading levels, forming student groups, and creating differentiated instruction without relying on pre-written curricula
  • Comfortable using AI/adaptive learning platforms and adjusting to student behavioral data
  • Legal authorization to work in Puerto Rico without employer sponsorship
  • Prepared to work on-site in Dorado, Puerto Rico
