You know that 20 minutes of diagnostic-driven reading instruction delivers more progress than 90 minutes following a script—and you have student outcomes to back it up. You've seen children move past phonics barriers when you identified the specific gap yourself, rather than waiting for a curriculum to dictate the next step. If building lessons from live student data feels like autonomy instead of burden, this role is worth your attention.
Alpha's approach to reading instruction rests on one principle: every moment counts. Your workshop sessions last 20 minutes and center on what individual students truly require, not what a district timeline suggests. You will evaluate reading ability, organize targeted small groups, and provide high-impact structured literacy teaching (phonics, fluency, comprehension) to children aged 4–7, producing measurable weekly advancement. AI-driven adaptive platforms work beside you, producing performance insights that allow you to refine the next day's lesson before the current one concludes.
This position evolves. During the first year, your focus is classroom-centered: facilitating workshops, conducting motivational activities that transform hesitant readers into enthusiastic learners, and supplying granular observations to the tech team refining Alpha's AI literacy platform. As those systems mature and your input influences their design, your influence reaches beyond your immediate students. You will contribute to a reading framework that operates across multiple sites, transforming methods proven with 15 children into infrastructure serving hundreds.
If your career has been spent demonstrating that structured literacy delivers results, and you are prepared to combine that knowledge with technology that extends your reach, this opportunity removes the ceiling your classroom once imposed.
