Do you believe every student should achieve grade-level reading proficiency (or higher), yet find yourself frustrated by ineffective systems that limit their growth?

Alpha School demonstrates that significant literacy advancement doesn't demand 6-hour school days. Our 2-Hour Learning framework combines AI-adaptive platforms with skilled teaching to accelerate reading development. Your role: create and implement workshops that produce quantifiable improvements in phonics, fluency, and comprehension for early elementary learners, then support the expansion of this program to campuses nationwide.

This position centers on data-informed teaching, technology integration, and constructing a reading curriculum that serves thousands of students—not administrative paperwork.
