"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. 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, much like a classroom teacher is, except the core instruction runs through apps instead of your nightly lesson plans. Morning launch, core learning on the apps, lunch, recess, life-skills workshops, closing, and focused reading interventions. You will know which one is faking fluency by Tuesday. 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. About 70% of your work is full-day Guide work. About 30% is targeted reading-specialist work. "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 - Malibu, Palo Alto, Piedmont, San Francisco, Santa Monica, and South Bay (Los Angeles) * CT - Greenwich * IL - Chicago * MA - Boston * WA - Seattle Interested in a different Alpha campus? Apply anyway and name your preferred location, and we will route you to the right opening. What You Will Be Doing * Coaching students through app-based core learning: spotting who is stuck, asking the question that unblocks them, holding the daily goal. * Running targeted 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, closing, and reading interventions, meeting frustration and refusal with a plan for that child. What You Won’t Be Doing * Writing lesson plans for a full class every night. Your planning is narrow and diagnostic. * Running a pull-out caseload from a quiet intervention room. Reading groups are targeted, short, and part of the school 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. Elementary School Teacher 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 70% of your day guiding students through app-based learning, workshops, and campus routines, and about 30% on targeted reading sessions * Willing to work with all K-3 students, not only struggling readers * Legally authorized to work in the US without visa sponsorship Benefits and other compensation. Health coverage (medical, dental, vision), life and disability insurance, voluntary benefits, tax-advantaged FSA, HSA, and commuter accounts, and a 401(k). Paid time off and parental leave. A one-time relocation allowance. 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 name a child whose decoding you fixed and how About Alpha Join the team building school around student growth Alpha reimagines the school day around faster learning, stronger mentorship, and more time for students to build real-world skills.

You decide who needs you and what will move them, and you hold the daily goal without lowering it. About 70% of your work is full-day Guide work. About 30% is targeted reading-specialist work. "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.

Teacher on Special Assignment, Alpha - $100,000/year USD

Houston, TXFrom $100,000/yr

"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. In-person | Springfield, MA or Houston, TX | Full-time W2 employee | $100,000 annual salary What if the best way to change a public-school classroom isn't to change the teacher, but to work alongside them? Alpha is bringing its learning model into public schools, and we need experienced public-school educators who know what it takes to lead a full classroom. You'll partner with a district-employed teacher to run the Alpha model together — much like a teacher on special assignment working side by side with a classroom teacher rather than replacing them. You bring deep classroom experience, a different approach to student motivation and learning, and the ability to model new practices in real time. Your partner brings their own expertise, knowledge of their students, and understanding of their school. This is a partnership, not a handoff. Alpha students spend about two hours each morning learning core academics through TimeBack, our mastery-based adaptive learning model. That means you won't spend your day lecturing, grading worksheets, or writing math and reading lesson plans. Instead, you'll focus on the parts of teaching that technology can't replace: motivating students, building a classroom students take ownership of, designing project-based workshops, and developing future-ready skills. You'll also have an impact beyond this year's students. You'll model Alpha's approach for your partner teacher, coach in the moment, share what works, and gradually step back as they build confidence using the model themselves. You won't formally train or evaluate them. Your job is to earn trust and help another experienced educator succeed alongside you. If you've managed a full public-school classroom, developed other teachers, and built learning experiences from scratch, this is a chance to put all three skills to work. 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 What You Will Be Doing * Running the classroom alongside a district teacher: Co-own the day, student outcomes, and classroom culture while building a true working partnership with an experienced public-school educator. * Building a student-led culture: Use clear goals, live data, relationships, peer accountability, and individual and group incentives to help students take increasing ownership of their learning and behavior. * Designing project-based learning: Create original workshops that develop future-ready skills through hands-on projects, with clear objectives and ways to measure student mastery. * Coaching through action: Model Alpha practices, give useful feedback in the moment, and help your partner teacher build the confidence and skill to lead more of the model over time. * Acting on student data every day: Track whether students love school, learn at an accelerated pace, and build future-ready skills, then adjust your approach based on what the data shows. What You Won’t Be Doing * Replacing the district teacher: You are joining their classroom as a partner. You will work side by side and build capability together. * Lecturing and grading all day: Adaptive learning software handles core academic instruction so you can focus on motivation, culture, coaching, and skill development. * Managing through constant commands or punishment: You'll build systems that give students meaningful autonomy while using clear expectations, accountability, and positive incentives. * Formally training or evaluating your partner teacher: Alpha's Learning \& Development team owns formal training, and the district owns teacher evaluation. You coach through the work itself. * Working with a small, hand-picked group of students: You'll work with a full-size public-school class and demonstrate that this model can succeed at the scale public schools actually operate. Teacher On Special Assignment Key Responsibilities Deliver strong student outcomes in a full public-school classroom while helping a district teacher build the capability and confidence to run Alpha's model increasingly independently by the end of the school year. Basic Requirements * At least 3 years of experience as the primary teacher responsible for a public-school class of 20-30 students. A bachelor's degree in any subject and a teaching license from any state are required; a license expired no more than 5 years ago also qualifies. * Experience leading, coaching, or developing other educators in a public-school setting, such as serving as an instructional coach, department chair, team lead, mentor/cooperating teacher for student teachers, or education consultant. * Experience personally designing and delivering a project-based learning unit from the ground up, with clear objectives and assessments that check mastery during the unit and at its end. * Demonstrated ability to build a classroom culture based on student ownership, clear expectations, accountability, and motivation, using student data to act when progress stalls. A record of high achievement in your own academic, athletic, or professional work. * Strong interpersonal judgment and the ability to influence experienced peers without relying on formal authority, including earning trust in an unfamiliar school. * Willingness and ability to work in person at a participating public school in Springfield, Massachusetts, or Houston, Texas, following its weekday contract hours and calendar, including teacher workdays. Relocation is welcome. Legal authorization to work in the United States without visa sponsorship is required. Nice-to-have Requirements * Experience mentoring or supervising educators or student teachers. * Experience introducing new instructional practices or programs within a public-school environment. * Familiarity with mastery-based learning, adaptive learning technology, or current learning-science practices.

Elementary School Teacher, Alpha - $120,000/year USD

Boston, MAFrom $120,000/yr

"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. 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, much like a classroom teacher is, except the core instruction runs through apps instead of your nightly lesson plans. Morning launch, core learning on the apps, lunch, recess, life-skills workshops, closing, and focused reading interventions. You will know which one is faking fluency by Tuesday. 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.
