Learning Coach, Alpha - $120,000/year USD
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to extract substantive content: The posting includes description, responsibilities, requirements, benefits, pay, schedule, etc.
Let's parse.
The posting begins with a quote, then description: "Alpha is hiring. The hardest part of this job is not teaching..." etc. Then "What You Will Be Doing" list bullet points. Then "What You Won’t Be Doing". Then "Learning Coach Key Responsibilities". Then "Basic Requirements". Then "Nice-to-have Requirements". Then "Benefits and other compensation." Then "About Alpha". Then "Working with us" includes compensation level $120,000 USD/year, payment period weekly, W2 employee, immediate access to benefits, all roles year-long positions. Also mentions relocation support earlier.
We need to output sections: maybe About the role (intro), Responsibilities (What You Will Be Doing + Key Responsibilities), Requirements (Basic Requirements + Nice-to-have maybe as Skills?), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not create sections with placeholder/filler. Ensure we have actual content.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. The job title is "Learning Coach". Not to repeat.
We need to include only sections with real content.
Let's decide sections:
- About the role: could be introductory paragraph(s) describing role, mission, etc. Use
About the role
then ... maybe combine the initial description and Alpha description.
- Responsibilities: combine "What You Will Be Doing", "What You Won’t Be Doing", "Learning Coach Key Responsibilities". Use
Responsibilities
then - each bullet.
- Requirements: combine Basic Requirements and Nice-to-have Requirements (maybe as Skills). Could have
Requirements
then - for basic, and maybe separate
Skills
for nice-to-have? But we prefer few substantive sections. Could combine both into Requirements with sub-bullets? But we need to preserve all info. Could have Requirements section with two sub-lists: "Basic Requirements" and "Preferred/Nice-to-have". However headings inside section not allowed? We can still use inside. Could just list all as bullet points, distinguishing maybe with bold? But we must not invent. Could separate into Requirements and Skills sections. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Having both Requirements and Skills may be okay if both have content. But we could merge nice-to-have into Requirements as "Preferred qualifications". That still is a subsection but not a heading. Could embed as bullet with label.
Simplify: Have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
Check each for content:
- About the role: we have description of role, mission, Alpha description, etc. Provide paragraphs.
- Responsibilities: list duties.
- Requirements: list basic requirements and nice-to-have.
- Benefits: list health coverage, etc.
- Pay: compensation $120,000 USD/year, weekly payment.
- Schedule: full-time, on-site, five days a week.
We must not create sections with placeholder like "not specified". All have content.
Now need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes some like "Working with us This is a full-time, W2 employee position..." that's fine. Also includes "Crossover Job Code: LJ-5632-US-SouthBay-LearningCoach.002" which is minor metadata; we should fold into short or drop it. Probably drop it as not substantive? It's minor metadata; we can drop or include in a short
. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a short
with that info, maybe at end.
Also need to remove duplicated lines, application instructions like "Hit the Apply button if you found this interesting..." etc. Remove that.
Also remove "Interested in a different Alpha campus? Apply anyway and name your preferred location, and we will route you to the right opening." That's application instruction; remove.
Also remove "Before an offer you record a short video telling a story to young children, then spend a day on campus." That's part of selection process; maybe considered application instruction? It's part of hiring process; but could be considered substantive? It's about selection; maybe keep? The instruction says remove application instructions. That line is about selection process; could be considered part of process, but it's not a duty. Safer to remove.
Also remove "We recruit nationally, so job boards may display this opportunity in nearby cities that do not have a campus." That's maybe okay to keep as location info? It's about job boards; maybe not essential. Could keep as location info but it's not substantive about role. Might drop.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; location list is substantive: Current Openings CA - Beverly Hills, Malibu, Palo Alto, Piedmont, San Francisco, Santa Monica, and South Bay (Los Angeles) CT - Greenwich IL - Chicago MA - Boston NY - New York City WA - Seattle. That's location info; we should keep.
We can include location list in About the role or maybe a separate section? Could be part of About the role.
Now let's craft HTML.
We'll start with
About the role
then containing description: The quote maybe include? The quote is from Katie, Lead Guide, Alpha Denver. Could include as ? Not required but we can keep as
with quote. The instruction: use
for prose. So we can put quote in
with maybe ? Not needed.
We'll include: "“The sheer amount of time I get back from not having to make daily lesson plans and grade papers is huge.” — Katie, Lead Guide, Alpha Denver". Then description: "Alpha is hiring. The hardest part of this job is not teaching..." etc. Then mention Alpha opening campuses across the country, etc. Then location list.
We'll need to ensure we don't repeat content.
Let's extract the descriptive paragraphs:
From posting:
"The sheer amount of time I get back from not having to make daily lesson plans and grade papers is huge." — Katie, Lead Guide, Alpha Denver
Alpha is hiring. The hardest part of this job is not teaching. A six-year-old will be stuck in front of you, frustrated, and the right move is almost never to give them the answer. You are with the same students all day. Morning launch, core learning on the apps, lunch, recess, life-skills workshops, closing. You will know which one is faking fluency by Tuesday. And when you find the gap, you do not wait for a referral or a committee. You pull two to four students, teach the fifteen-minute sequence you built for that gap, and watch it close. The apps carry core instruction, so you are not writing lesson plans for twenty-four children at eleven at night. You decide who needs you and what will move them, and you hold the daily goal without lowering it. "She's doing fine" is not an answer here; parents see weekly data and will ask you to name the gap. Alpha is opening campuses across the country. The people who prove they can do this help hire and train the ones who come next, and write the curriculum standards other campuses follow. Some move into a lead role coaching that team, where the judgment behind the literacy work becomes the job. Your resume will not decide this. Before an offer you record a short video telling a story to young children, then spend a day on campus. If what makes you good at this never fit on paper, that is the point. This is a full-time, on-site role, five days a week, at an Alpha campus. We recruit nationally, so job boards may display this opportunity in nearby cities that do not have a campus. Current Openings CA - Beverly Hills, Malibu, Palo Alto, Piedmont, San Francisco, Santa Monica, and South Bay (Los Angeles) CT - Greenwich IL - Chicago MA - Boston NY - New York City WA - Seattle Interested in a different Alpha campus? Apply anyway and name your preferred location, and we will route you to the right opening.
Then "What You Will Be Doing" list:
- 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.
"What You Won’t Be Doing":
- Nightly lesson planning for a full class is not part of this role. Your planning is narrow and diagnostic.
- Running a pull-out caseload from a quiet intervention room. Reading groups are about a tenth of your week and happen inside the day.
- Delivering a published curriculum or scripted program with fidelity to someone else's sequence.
- Writing IEPs, 504 plans, chasing testing paperwork, or sitting on curriculum committees.
- Slipping away to a prep block while someone else covers your students. You are with them launch to closing.
"Learning Coach Key Responsibilities":
- Get every K-3 student to their daily learning goals, and close the reading gaps stopping them from getting there alone.
"Basic Requirements":
- 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, 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
"Nice-to-have Requirements":
- You held a six-year-old's attention with nothing but your energy and an engaging activity
- You kept tired children coming back to an after-school reading program
- Parents asked for you by name
- Experience with reading platforms (Amira, Lexia, i-Ready) or diagnostic assessments (DRA, DIBELS, AIMSweb)
- You can
