Kindergarten Teacher, Alpha

The curriculum is ready. The AI is prepared to deliver content. What you do is help a child discover they're capable of something they never imagined.

At Alpha, academic work is completed in only two hours daily through adaptive learning platforms. This structure allows Guides to dedicate their energy to what transforms lives: cultivating confidence, resilience, communication skills, and the drive to embrace difficult challenges. You won't be positioned at the front of a room delivering instruction. Instead, you'll be coaching students through obstacles, recognizing achievements, and demonstrating what rigorous standards look like when combined with authentic belief in potential.

You'll guide a single K-3 cohort band—either Kindergarten-1st grade or 2nd-3rd grade. Approximately half your time involves facilitating dynamic, one-hour workshops focused on life skills such as public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback. The remaining half is dedicated to individualized and small-group coaching, leveraging learning analytics to ensure every child progresses toward challenging weekly objectives. Every moment counts. Students should emerge from your workshops more skilled than when they entered and conclude your coaching sessions with greater belief in their own capabilities.

This position isn't designed for someone seeking to implement curriculum or oversee a traditional classroom. It's suited for someone who enjoys motivating young learners, values data-driven results, and understands that the right coach can fundamentally alter a child's path. If you've energized kids as an educator, coach, camp counselor, youth mentor, or performer, you'll discover a distinctly different classroom environment here.

This is a full-time, in-person position at an Alpha campus. We conduct nationwide recruitment, so job postings may appear in neighboring cities without a campus location.

• Facilitate interactive life-skills workshops that guide K-3 students toward mastery of communication, concentration, feedback, and other foundational skills through active engagement rather than passive instruction.

• Evaluate life-skill proficiency using Alpha's Test2
  
  Pass framework, coaching students until they exhibit genuine comprehension—not merely participation.
• Modify your coaching approach to match the developmental stage of your cohort, incorporating songs, movement, and narrative for younger students or emphasizing greater autonomy and responsibility for older learners.
• Cultivate relationships in which students feel secure enough to extend beyond what they believed they could accomplish.

• Presenting academic lessons at a whiteboard. Academic learning happens through adaptive technology.
• Developing curriculum independently. You'll refine and customize established playbooks rather than creating lessons from the ground up.
• Observing students as they work quietly on computers. Your function is active coaching, motivation, and meaningful engagement.
• Reducing expectations in response to student difficulties. Success means supporting students to meet the goal, not adjusting the goal downward.
• Administering homework, grading assignments, or managing standard parent communications.
