"This is not a school that is replacing teachers. This is not a threat to teachers in any way, shape, or form. This is reimagining what a teacher can be." — Sam DePalo, Lead Guide, Alpha Fort Worth Texas
Alpha is hiring. $100,000/year salaried, paid weekly, with day-one health, dental, and vision benefits, 40 hours/week, five days a week, on-site at one Alpha campus, with relocation support.
You can hear a miscue and name the gap behind it: the vowel team she never locked in, the blend he guesses his way around. You will use that here every day. What's harder is the moment right after. When a six-year-old is stuck in front of you, close to tears, and the right move is almost never to hand them the answer. That's because Alpha looks nothing like the school you trained in. Students finish their entire academic core in about two hours each morning, working independently on AI-adaptive apps — no lectures, no textbooks, no pacing guide. The rest of the day is spent on life-skills workshops. The adults here are called Guides rather than teachers, and that is not a euphemism: you are not delivering content. You are making sure your students actually do the work, want to do the work, and get unstuck when the app can't do it for them. You are with the same students from morning launch to closing: core learning, workshops, lunch, recess, check-chart time. That much contact tells you things a running record won't. By the second week, you will know which student is faking fluency – reading the page smoothly because she memorized it Monday, not because she can decode it. When you find the gap, nothing stands between you and fixing it. No referral, no committee, no waiting for a slot to open. You pull two to four kids and run a fifteen-minute workshop built for that exact error pattern — phoneme-grapheme mapping, blending drills, decodable text, whatever it calls for — check that it transferred, and send them back to work on their own. You are not writing plans for two dozen children at 11 pm at night. Your planning is narrow and diagnostic: who needs you tomorrow, and what will actually move them. And you hold the daily goal without quietly lowering it, because parents see weekly data and will ask you to name the gap. Alpha is opening campuses across the country, and the bottleneck is people who can do this well. The ones who prove it help hire and train the Guides who come next and write the programs other campuses run on. Some move into a lead role coaching a team, where the judgment behind the literacy work becomes the whole job. That path is earned, not handed to you on day one. Your resume will not decide this. If what makes you good at this has never fit neatly on paper, that is exactly the point.
Role We recruit nationally, so job boards may display this role in nearby cities that do not have a campus. Current openings: AZ - Phoenix and Scottsdale TX - Dallas, Fort Worth (Keller), Plano, and The Woodlands UT - Park City (Salt Lake City) Interested in a different Alpha campus? Apply anyway, name your preferred location, and we will route you to the right opening.
But we should not include location list? It's substantive info about where openings are. Could be part of About the role. It's okay.
Now Responsibilities: list from What You Will Be Doing:
- Running short structured-literacy workshops with two to four students — diagnosing a phonics or decoding gap from running records and fluency probes, teaching a sequence you designed for it, and checking that it transferred
- Coaching students through app-based core learning: seeing who has stalled, asking the question that unsticks them, holding the daily goal
- 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 pitched at their age
- Staying with your students through lunch, recess, and closing, meeting refusal and frustration with a plan built for that particular child
We could also include What You Won’t Be Doing as a note but maybe not needed.
Requirements (Basic Requirements):
- Willing to work on-site at one of the campuses listed above, with relocation support
- At least 3 years working directly with children ages 4-9: teaching, coaching, tutoring, camps, youth programs, children's theater, or similar settings where kids showed up because of you
- 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 90% of your day guiding students through app-based learning, workshops, and campus routines, and 10% on reading sessions
- Willing to work with all K-3 students, not only struggling readers
- Legally authorized to work in the US without visa sponsorship
Qualifications: maybe we could list the structured-literacy training options as qualifications? But they are already in Requirements. To avoid duplication, maybe we treat Qualifications as the education/experience: at least 3 years experience, at least 2 years teaching reading K-3, completed structured-literacy training, bachelor's degree. But that's same.
Better: we could treat Qualifications as the structured-literacy training list and degree etc. But we already have them.
Given instruction to prefer few substantive sections, we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one Requirements section. But they ask to use headings only when posting has real specific content for it. We have content for both; we could keep both but ensure not duplicate.
Let's define Qualifications as the specific credentials: Completed structured-literacy training (list) OR master's in reading/literacy; Bachelor's degree; teaching certificate not required. That's still overlapping.
Maybe we treat Qualifications as the experience requirements: at least 3 years working directly with children ages 4-9, at least 2 years teaching reading K-3 within last 5 years. And Requirements as the other items (willing to work on-site, comfortable with 90% etc). That splits.
Let's do:
Requirements: willingness to work on-site, relocation support, comfort with 90%/10% split, willingness to work with all K-3, legally authorized.
Qualifications: experience (3 years with children 4-9, 2 years teaching reading K-3 within last 5 years), structured-literacy training or master's, bachelor's degree.
Skills: nice-to-have list.
Benefits: day-one health, dental, vision benefits, relocation support, immediate access to benefits.
Pay: $100,000/year salaried, paid weekly.
Schedule: 40 hours/week, five days a week, on-site at one Alpha campus.
