Reading Program Coordinator, Alpha - $100,000/year USD

Overview

Salary: $100,000 per year, paid weekly. Health, dental, and vision coverage start day one. Full‑time (40 hours per week) on‑site position at a single Alpha campus. Eligible campuses: Phoenix, AZ; Oklahoma City or Tulsa, OK; Nashville, TN; Austin, Fort Worth, Houston (South Houston or The Woodlands); Plano, TX; Park City (Salt Lake City), UT; or Dorado, Puerto Rico (relocation assistance available). The role is 100% classroom‑based with students in grades K‑2.
Responsibilities

Creating and facilitating small‑group K‑2 reading workshops rooted in structured‑literacy approaches (Orton‑Gillingham, Wilson, LETRS, IMSE, or equivalent), informed by live student data.
Facilitating daily motivation sessions designed to ensure 100% of students meet weekly adaptive‑app targets, leveraging Alpha’s motivational framework (school currency, leaderboards, age‑appropriate gamification).
Conducting and evaluating running records, fluency assessments, and decoding diagnostics to monitor progress and inform subsequent instruction.
Analyzing AI‑generated performance insights from Alpha’s adaptive learning platforms to differentiate instruction dynamically, beyond lesson planning.
Serving as the engaging, approachable adult that K‑2 students are excited to work with every day.
What You Won’t Be Doing

Implementing a published reading curriculum, scripted program, or district pacing guide; you create lessons directly from student performance data.
Teaching full‑class lessons; all instruction occurs in small, targeted groups while students complete academic subjects through adaptive applications.
Serving as a reading consultant, instructional coach, or district‑level specialist; you work directly with children in the classroom daily.
Managing a traditional classroom schedule—subject‑by‑subject lectures, homework review, test preparation; your schedule consists of workshops, motivation sessions, and data‑informed small groups.
Grading homework assignments or issuing report cards; student progress is tracked through app data and your running records.
Key Responsibilities

Provide structured‑literacy instruction that produces measurable acceleration in K‑2 reading outcomes across phonics, fluency, and decoding.
Basic Requirements

Structured‑literacy certification (Orton‑Gillingham, LETRS, Wilson Reading System, IMSE, CERI, Neuhaus, UFLI, or equivalent) OR a Master’s degree in reading instruction.
Bachelor’s degree in any discipline, plus 2+ years of full‑time K‑2 structured reading instruction in a school or clinical environment, utilizing systematic phonics or structured literacy.
Proven ability to create original reading lessons and clearly explain instructional content and methods independently of a published program.
Willingness to work on‑site full‑time at one Alpha campus (listed above).
Willingness to serve all K‑2 students (not exclusively struggling readers) and to incorporate AI and adaptive‑learning tools into everyday instruction.
Legal authorization to work in the U.S. or Puerto Rico without requiring visa sponsorship.
Bilingual proficiency in English and Spanish required for the Dorado, Puerto Rico campus.
Nice‑to‑have Requirements

Direct experience using AI‑powered or adaptive reading platforms (e.g., Amira, Lexia, i‑Ready, Reading Plus) for instructional planning or student data interpretation.
Documented record of measurable reading improvements (fluency gains in WCPM, accuracy increases, decoding level progression) that can be specified with data.
Experience in non‑traditional or innovative educational settings (charter, micro‑school, Montessori, hybrid models).
Experience in performance, youth sports coaching, or otherwise engaging a K‑2 audience beyond the reading classroom.
