Full‑time.

Alpha School operates a two‑hour learning framework where adaptive applications deliver academics, while this role focuses on coaching students and Guides, developing life‑skills workshops, analyzing performance data, and scaling effective practices.

• Coaching both Guides and students through analysis of performance data, classroom observations, and direct feedback, while maintaining accountability to quantifiable objectives.
• Leading one‑hour live workshops for K‑3 students focused on life skills including public speaking, concentration, teamwork, resilience, accountability, and feedback exchange.
• Conducting individual and small‑group motivation sessions that link each child’s personal goals and interests to tangible academic advancement.
• Creating and iterating playbooks that convert your most effective practices into replicable systems that other Guides can implement reliably.
• Training Guides on these playbooks and demonstrating facilitation excellence to maintain standards as the team expands.

• Providing academic instruction or lecturing at the front of a classroom; adaptive apps handle content delivery while you coach the people.
• Reducing expectations when students encounter difficulties.
• Managing from a distance in the manner of instructional coaches or principals; you remain embedded with your cohort every day.
• Managing the full campus budget, operations, and parent communication; a Campus Lead handles these responsibilities so you can concentrate on student and Guide results.
• Advocating for traditional teaching approaches or implementing a conventional K‑12 curriculum.

Fulfill Alpha’s three commitments to every K‑3 student: they develop a love for school, achieve learning at twice the normal pace, and cultivate exceptional life skills and independence.
