Job summary

Alpha is hiring an Early Elementary Guide to support K-3 reading development on-site at Alpha campuses across the country. You will coach students through app-based core learning, diagnose gaps from running records and fluency probes, and run targeted literacy sessions for two to four students.

Daily routines include morning launch, life-skills workshops, and check-chart activities to keep six-year-olds engaged. You’ll work 5 days a week at a campus, with relocation support offered.

Qualifications

• Willing to work on-site at a campus listed above, with relocation support
• At least 3 years working directly with children ages 4-9: teaching, coaching, tutoring, camps, youth programs, or similar settings
• 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
• Comfortable spending about 70% of your day guiding students through app-based learning, workshops, and campus routines, and about 30% on targeted reading sessions
• Legally authorized to work in the US without visa sponsorship

Responsibilities

• Coaching students through app-based core learning: spotting who is stuck, asking the question that unblocks them, holding the daily goal
• Running targeted structured-literacy sessions with two to four students. Diagnosing a phonics or decoding gap from running records and fluency probes, teaching a sequence you designed, and checking for transfer
• 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
• Staying with your students through lunch, recess, closing, and reading interventions, meeting frustration and refusal with a plan for that child
