Job summary

Alpha is hiring an Early Elementary Teacher for a full-time, on-site role across multiple campuses. You will guide K-3 students through app-based core learning, diagnose reading gaps, and design targeted sequences to close them.

Expect daily data-driven instruction and a focus on literacy progress for each child. You'll stay with your students from launch to close, lead workshops, and help drive weekly app goals with gamified motivation.

Qualifications

• At least 3 years working directly with children ages 4-9: teaching, coaching, tutoring, camps, youth programs, or similar.
• At least 2 years of that experience teaching reading in grades K-3, within the last 5 years.
• Completed structured-literacy training: LETRS, IMSE, Orton-Gillingham, Wilson Reading System, Fundations, UFLI, CERI, Neuhaus, SIPPS, Really Great Reading, or similar; or a master's in reading or literacy.
• Bachelor's degree in any subject; a teaching certificate is not required.

Responsibilities

• Coaching students through app-based core learning: spotting who is stuck, asking the question that unblocks them, holding the daily goal.
• Running short structured-literacy sessions with two to four students, diagnosing gaps, teaching a designed sequence, and checking transfer.
• Leading morning launch, life-skills workshops, and check-chart activities.
• Driving students to weekly app goals with school currency, leaderboards, and gamification.
• Staying with students through lunch, recess, and closing with a plan for challenging cases.
