This is not a teaching position. You motivate. The most helpful thing you can do for a student who reached 99% of their target is to refuse to call it finished. If that expectation unsettles you, this role is not a fit. If it energizes you because maintaining high standards is how you demonstrate belief in a student's capability, continue reading.

At Alpha, academic learning happens through AI-powered applications. No classroom lectures. No physical textbooks. Half of your day is spent facilitating one‑hour life‑skills sessions covering topics like public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback exchange. The other half involves working with students individually or in small groups, analyzing their progress via Coachbot analytics, and driving each one toward 100% completion of their weekly app targets.

You will not be reading from a script—workshop materials are a foundation, but top performers in this role modify them and create new content when needed.

A successful quarter means every student in your cohort completes their weekly app goals, passes the Test2

Pass assessment for every life‑skills workshop, and 90%+ report that they love you. Falling short on any of these three metrics means the role expectations are not being met. In your first year you internalize the methodology; as you demonstrate your ability to uphold standards, advancement opportunities open to Lead Guide, where you mentor new hires while continuing direct student work.

• Facilitating one‑hour life‑skills sessions for K‑8 groups covering public speaking, focus, feedback, and other essential skills, modifying the framework and creating new sessions when you identify needs
• Conducting daily individual and small‑group motivation meetings that drive every student to 100% of their weekly app targets, leveraging Coachbot analytics, Alpha's reward systems (school currency, leaderboards), and your personal connection with each student to overcome resistance
• Delivering the Test2
  
  Pass (Alpha's mastery‑based evaluation) for each life skill, and continuing to coach students who do not pass until mastery is achieved
• Adjusting your coaching approach across a broad age spectrum, from kindergarteners requiring high energy and physical activity to 8th graders needing direct conversation and personal accountability
• Serving as the adult who maintains expectations and the adult students trust; connection earns you permission to challenge, and challenging demonstrates your confidence in their potential

• Delivering whiteboard lessons; academic content is housed in the applications, not delivered by you
• Creating curriculum from the ground up; you animate an established framework with enthusiasm and narrative
• Monitoring students at workstations; motivation in this context is hands‑on, interpersonal, and persistent
• Reducing a weekly target to enable a student to reach it; when a student falls behind, the solution is supporting the student, not adjusting the goal
• Evaluating assignments, conducting standardized test preparation, or handling parent outreach;
  Campus Leads manage family communication, and the other tasks do not exist in this model

Guarantee that every student in your K‑8 cohort completes their weekly learning targets, achieves mastery in each life skill, and finishes the year reporting that they loved you.

• Able to work in‑person at an Alpha campus listed above; relocation assistance available
• Bachelor's degree in any discipline
• Minimum 3 years of direct experience working with K‑8 students (classroom instruction, coaching, tutoring, camp counseling, or youth program management)
• A concrete example you can articulate of…
