You know that 20 minutes of precision-targeted reading instruction delivers more impact than 90 minutes of scripted curriculum, and your student outcomes confirm it. You've seen students move past persistent phonics obstacles because you identified the underlying gap yourself, not because a preset program dictated the next lesson. If building your own lessons from live student data feels like empowerment rather than burden, this role is worth your attention.
Alpha's reading instruction operates on one core principle: every minute counts. Your workshops run for 20 minutes and center on what each student genuinely needs right now, not what a curriculum calendar suggests they ought to need. You'll evaluate reading levels, organize focused groups, and provide high-impact structured literacy instruction (phonics, fluency, comprehension) to students aged 4-7 that produces measurable weekly progress. AI-driven adaptive tools work alongside you, producing performance data you'll apply to refine the next day's lesson before the current session concludes.
This position evolves. During your first year, you're fully engaged in the classroom: facilitating workshops, leading motivational sessions that convert hesitant readers into enthusiastic ones, and delivering detailed observations to the technology team improving Alpha's AI literacy tools. As those tools expand and your input influences their development, your influence reaches beyond your immediate students. You'll contribute to building a reading program that functions across campuses, transforming what you accomplish with 15 students into a framework that serves hundreds.
If you've dedicated your career to demonstrating that structured literacy delivers results and you're prepared to combine that knowledge with technology that magnifies it, this is where your influence breaks free from classroom constraints.
