"Alpha is the future of education. That's not hyperbole: on average, Alpha students grow 2.6 times faster than peers on nationally normed MAP tests." Alpha is hiring. $100,000/year salaried, paid weekly, with day-one health, dental, and vision benefits 40 hours/week, five days a week, on-site at one Alpha campus, with relocation support You can hear a miscue and name the gap behind it: the vowel team she never locked in, the blend he guesses his way around. You will use that here every day. What's harder is the moment right after. When a six-year-old is stuck in front of you, close to tears, and the right move is almost never to hand them the answer. That's because Alpha looks nothing like the school or program you've coordinated before. Students finish their entire academic core in about two hours each morning, working independently on AI-adaptive apps, no lectures, no textbooks, no pacing guide. The rest of the day combines life-skills workshops and targeted reading interventions. The adults here are called Guides rather than teachers or coordinators, and that is not a euphemism: you are not managing a program from the side. You are making sure your students do the work, want to do the work, and get unstuck when the app cannot do it for them. You are with the same students from morning launch to closing: core learning, workshops, focused reading sessions, lunch, recess, and check-chart time. About 70% of your day is Guide work and about 30% is reading-specialist work — the diagnostic, program-design work you already know, just run directly with kids instead of overseen from a distance. That balance gives you the whole child, not just a reading score, and lets you turn a diagnosed gap into a visible transfer while the student is still part of the day's learning community. Alpha is opening campuses across the country, and the bottleneck is people who can do both parts well. The ones who prove they can motivate students, hold the standard, and close reading gaps help hire and train the Guides who come next and write the programs other campuses run on — the kind of program design you've likely led before, now scaled across a network. Some move into a lead role coaching a team, where the judgment behind the literacy work becomes the whole job. That path is earned, not handed to you on day one. We recruit nationally, so apply for the campus that fits you best and name your preferred location if you are open to more than one. What you will be doing Running short structured-literacy workshops with two to four students — diagnosing a phonics or decoding gap from running records and fluency probes, teaching a sequence you designed for it, and checking that it transferred Coaching students through app-based core learning: seeing who has stalled, asking the question that unsticks them, holding the daily goal Leading morning launch, life-skills workshops, and check-chart activities that keep six-year-olds moving Driving students to their weekly app goals with school currency, leaderboards, and gamification pitched at their age Staying with your students through lunch, recess, and closing, meeting refusal and frustration with a plan built for that particular child What you will NOT be doing Planning lessons for a full class every night. Your planning is narrow and diagnostic Running a pull-out caseload from a quiet intervention room. Reading work is about 30% of your week and happens inside the school day, not beside it Delivering a published program with fidelity to someone else's scope and sequence Writing IEPs and 504 plans, chasing testing paperwork, or sitting on curriculum committees Handing your students off while you take a prep block.
