Reading Interventionist, Alpha - $150,000/year USD

About the role

When a child falls behind, most elementary schools reduce their expectations. You do the opposite. You know a six-year-old has more capability than traditional classrooms demand, and you have used evidence to demonstrate this repeatedly.

Responsibilities

• Coaching both Guides and students through performance analytics, classroom observation, and targeted feedback, then maintaining accountability to defined, measurable objectives
• Leading one-hour live workshops for K-3 students focused on life skills including public speaking, focus, collaboration, resilience, accountability, and constructive feedback exchange
• Conducting individual and small-group sessions that link each child's personal goals and interests to tangible academic advancement
• Developing and iterating on playbooks that translate your most effective methods into systems other Guides can reliably implement
• Training Guides on these playbooks and demonstrating facilitation excellence to preserve standards as the team expands

• Experience building, launching, or substantially growing a program, team, school, or initiative from inception, not managing an established one
• Comfortable operating in a school environment that rejects conventional teaching methods
• Licensed to work in the United States

• Master's degree in a relevant discipline
• Demonstrated history using metrics, dashboards, or analytics to identify issues and achieve measurable progress
