This is not a teaching position. You motivate.

The most helpful thing you can do for a student who reached 99% of their goal is to refuse to accept it as complete. If that expectation makes you uncomfortable, this role isn't for you. If it energizes you because maintaining high standards is how you demonstrate belief in a student's ability, read on.

At Alpha, academic learning happens through AI-powered applications. No lectures. No textbooks. You'll spend half your day facilitating one-hour life-skills workshops covering public speaking, focus, and how to give and receive meaningful feedback. The other half, you work with students individually or in small groups, analyzing their progress via Coachbot analytics, and driving each one toward 100% completion of their weekly app goals.

You won't be reading from a script — workshops provide a foundation, but top performers in this role customize them and create new ones when needed.

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

Pass for all life-skills workshops, and 90%+ report they love you. Fall short on any of these three, and you've missed the mark. In your first year you'll master the playbook; as you demonstrate your ability to maintain standards, opportunities open to become a Lead Guide, where you mentor new hires while continuing to work directly with students.

If you prefer traditional teaching, want a pre-packaged curriculum, or think warmth and rigorous standards can't coexist, look elsewhere. If you've been an athletic coach, a camp counselor, a tutor who wouldn't let a student give up, or a performer capable of commanding a room of eight-year-olds, the final step before an offer is spending a full day on campus coaching actual Alpha students.

• Facilitating one-hour life-skills workshops for K-8 cohorts covering public speaking, focus, feedback, and other essential skills, customizing the playbook and creating new sessions when you identify a need
• Conducting daily individual and small-group motivation sessions that drive every student to 100% completion of their weekly app goals, leveraging Coachbot analytics, Alpha's incentive structures (school currency, leaderboards), and your relationship with each student to overcome resistance
• Delivering the Test2
  
  Pass (Alpha's mastery-based assessment) for each life skill, and supporting students who don't pass until they achieve mastery
• Adjusting your coaching approach across a broad age spectrum, from kindergarteners who require high energy and physical activity to 8th graders who need direct communication and accountability
• Serving as the adult who maintains standards and the adult students want to confide in; warmth gives you permission to push, and pushing demonstrates your confidence in their potential

• Teaching from a whiteboard; academic content is delivered through the apps, not by you
• Creating curriculum from the ground up; you animate a proven playbook through energy and narrative
• Passively monitoring students at computers; motivation here is dynamic, personal, and persistent
• Reducing a weekly target to help a student reach it; when a student falls behind, the solution is to support the student, not adjust the goal
• Grading assignments, conducting standardized test preparation, or handling parent communications;
  Campus Leads manage parent-facing responsibilities, and the rest simply don't exist in this…
