You know that 20 minutes of precision-targeted reading instruction outperforms 90 minutes of scripted lessons, and you have the student outcomes to back it up. You've seen children break through phonics plateaus because you identified the specific gap yourself, not because a program dictated the next lesson. If building your own curriculum from live student data feels like opportunity rather than burden, this role is for you.
At Alpha, reading instruction operates on one core principle: every minute counts. Your workshops consist of 20-minute sessions designed around each student's actual needs, not what a standardized pacing guide prescribes. You'll evaluate reading levels, create targeted groups, and deliver high-impact structured literacy instruction (phonics, fluency, comprehension) to students aged 4-7 that produces measurable weekly progress. AI-powered adaptive technologies work alongside you, generating performance data you'll use to modify tomorrow's lesson before today's session concludes.
This position evolves. During year one, you're immersed in classroom work: facilitating workshops, leading motivational sessions that transform reluctant readers into enthusiastic ones, and providing detailed observations to the technology team refining Alpha's AI literacy tools. As these tools scale and your input shapes them, your expertise reaches beyond your own classroom. You'll help develop a reading program that functions across multiple campuses, converting what you accomplish with 15 students into a system that impacts hundreds.
If you've dedicated your career to demonstrating that structured literacy delivers results and you're prepared to combine that expertise with technology that multiplies it, this is where your influence extends beyond your classroom walls.
