This role is not about teaching. It is about motivation. The most meaningful thing you can do for a student who reaches 99% of their goal is to refuse to accept it as complete. If that expectation troubles you, this role is not for you. If it energizes you because maintaining high standards demonstrates your belief in a student’s ability to succeed, continue reading.

At Alpha, students complete their academic work through AI‑driven applications. No lectures. No textbooks. Half of your day is spent facilitating one‑hour life‑skills workshops covering public speaking, focus, and the art of giving and receiving constructive feedback. The other half involves working with students individually or in small groups, analyzing their progress via Coachbot analytics, and driving each one to complete 100% of their weekly app objectives.

You will not follow a rigid script — workshops provide a framework, but those who excel in this position customize 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 for all life‑skills workshops, and 90%+ report that they love you. Falling short on any of these three measures means falling short of the role. In your first year, you will master the existing playbook; as you demonstrate your ability to uphold standards, you can advance to Lead Guide, where you mentor new hires while continuing to work directly with students.

If you prefer traditional teaching methods, want pre‑packaged curriculum, or believe warmth and rigor cannot coexist, this position is not suitable. If your background includes athletic coaching, camp counseling, tutoring students who wanted to quit, or performing for groups of young children, the final step before receiving an offer is spending a full day on campus coaching actual Alpha students. If that prospect excites you most, submit your application today.

• Facilitating one‑hour life‑skills workshops for K‑8 cohorts covering public speaking, focus, feedback, and other foundational 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 complete 100% of their weekly app goals, leveraging Coachbot analytics, Alpha’s incentive structures (school currency, leaderboards), and your relationship with each student to overcome resistance
• Administering Test2
  
  Pass (Alpha’s mastery‑based assessment) for each life skill, then coaching students who do not pass until they achieve mastery
• Adjusting your coaching approach across a broad age spectrum, from kindergarteners requiring high energy and physical activity to 8th graders needing direct conversation and accountability
• Serving as the adult who maintains standards and the adult students trust; warmth creates the foundation for challenge, and challenge demonstrates your confidence in their potential

• Delivering instruction at a whiteboard; academic content is embedded in the apps, not in your teaching
• Creating curriculum from the ground up; you animate an established playbook with energy and narrative
• Passively monitoring students at computers; motivation in this role is active, individualized, and persistent
• Reducing a weekly goal to make it easier for a student to achieve; when a student falls behind, the solution involves supporting the student, not adjusting the target
• Grading assignments, conducting standardized test preparation, or handling parent communications;
  Campus Leads manage parent interactions, and the other tasks do not exist in this environment
