The most meaningful support you can offer a student who achieves 99% is to withhold calling it 100%. If that principle resonates, this role may be a fit. Students at Alpha accelerate through adaptive learning applications while developing practical life skills. Your responsibility is ensuring three core commitments are fulfilled for every student in your cohort: genuine enthusiasm for learning, progress at 2x the standard rate, and acquisition of capabilities beyond traditional curricula.

You will also develop Guides who uphold these commitments.

• Facilitating one‑hour interactive life skills and SEL sessions with K‑8 students covering public speaking, concentration, and other subjects per Alpha’s framework.
• Conducting daily engagement sessions that motivate all students toward weekly application‑based objectives using age‑appropriate mechanisms, including school currency and performance rankings.
• Developing Guides through direct observation, specific feedback, and practical training so they execute sessions with equivalent energy and accuracy.
• Analyzing Coachbot data and individual student records to pinpoint students requiring support and providing direct intervention.
• Personally mentoring your assigned student cohort, modeling the coaching and engagement techniques you expect from all Guides.

• Creating lesson plans or instructional content; the focus is on elevating the people who support students.
• Delivering traditional classroom lectures; the role is 80% performance and engagement, 20% content expertise.
• Compromising standards due to external pressure; maintaining the “not yet” stance at 99% is expected.
• Working from an office processing administrative documents; most time involves direct engagement.
• Delaying performance conversations; outcomes are visible in real time via Coachbot and adjustments occur immediately.

Fulfill Alpha’s 3 Promises: every child develops enthusiasm for school, advances at 2x the standard pace, and acquires authentic life skills.

• Currently residing in or prepared to relocate to one of the listed locations.
• Bachelor’s degree in Education, Psychology, Business, or related discipline (Master’s preferred; teaching certifications not required).
• Minimum 5 years of professional experience in education, learning and development, coaching, or comparable field.
• Demonstrated experience creating and executing educational programs, curricula, or training initiatives.
• Proven history of managing a team of 5 or more, including recruitment and performance‑based dismissal decisions.
• Experience providing coaching, mentorship, or developmental feedback to enhance engagement and outcomes.
• Background working with children ages 5–14 in educational or developmental contexts.
• Skilled in leveraging data and performance metrics to inform decisions and drive ongoing improvement.
• Legal authorization to work in the United States.

• Master’s degree in Education, Psychology, or Business.
• Experience as an athletic coach, camp director, or youth program leader who directly inspired children to achieve quantifiable goals.
