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

Annual salary of $100,000 per year, paid weekly with health, dental, and vision coverage beginning on day one.

Full‑time, on‑site position at one Alpha campus: 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).

40‑hour work week entirely in‑classroom with kindergarten through second grade students.

What You Will Be Doing

Creating and facilitating small‑group K‑2 reading workshops rooted in structured‑literacy approaches (Orton‑Gillingham, Wilson, LETRS, IMSE, or equivalent), informed by actual student data.

Facilitating daily motivation sessions that ensure 100 % of your students meet their weekly adaptive‑app targets, using Alpha’s motivational framework (school currency, leaderboards, age‑appropriate gamification).

Conducting and evaluating running records, fluency probes, and decoding assessments to monitor progress and refine subsequent instruction.

Analyzing AI‑generated performance data from Alpha’s adaptive learning platforms to differentiate instruction in the moment, not only during preparation.

Serving as the engaging, energetic adult your K‑2 students are excited to see daily.

What You Won’t Be Doing

Implementing a published reading curriculum, scripted program, or district pacing guide; you create lessons directly from student data.

Delivering full‑class lectures; all teaching occurs in small, targeted groups while students engage with academic subjects through adaptive apps.

Serving as a reading consultant, teacher coach, or district‑level specialist; you are present in the classroom with students daily.

Managing a traditional classroom schedule—subject‑by‑subject lectures, homework correction, test preparation; your time is allocated to workshops, motivation sessions, and data‑informed small groups.

Grading homework or producing report cards; student advancement is tracked through app data and your running records.
