Literacy Coordinator, Alpha - $120,000/year USD

Shape the future of literacy education with your expertise.

Imagine driving reading successes in just 2 hours that typically take an entire day elsewhere. At Alpha School, we're pushing the boundaries of elementary reading education with our pioneering 2-Hour Learning model, and we're seeking an outstanding reading specialist to help us amplify this innovation.

Alpha is not your typical private school. We blend AI-driven adaptive tools with expert human instruction to offer personalized, impactful literacy experiences. Our method empowers students to progress measurably faster, free from restrictive 6-hour schedules or outdated curricula.

In this capacity, you won't just teach; you'll design. You'll propel literacy outcomes in individual classrooms while crafting a scalable reading program for multiple campuses. You'll spearhead dynamic, tech-enhanced workshops, inspire young readers with clever motivational strategies, and work alongside engineers to perfect the tools that drive our model.

Success in this role is reflected in measurable reading improvements, eager student participation, and valuable feedback that refines our AI-driven curriculum. If you're ready to expand your impact and help revolutionize children's reading experiences, apply today.
