Job summary

Alpha is hiring a full-time, on-site homeroom teacher (guides) to coach K-3 students through app-based core learning and close reading gaps. You will diagnose decoding gaps, design 15-minute sequences, and monitor progress with weekly data shared with families.

You remain with students through launch, lunch, and closing, leading structured-literacy sessions and life-skills workshops while pushing toward weekly app goals.

Qualifications

• At least 3 years working directly with children ages 4-9: teaching, coaching, tutoring, camps, youth programs, children's theater, or similar settings.

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 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, and closing, meeting frustration and refusal with a plan for that child.
