You do not teach in the conventional sense. You inspire action. The most meaningful support you can offer a six‑year‑old who reached 99% of their target is to insist they complete it. If that expectation unsettles you, this role is not for you. If it energizes you because maintaining high standards is how you demonstrate belief in a kindergartener's potential, continue reading.
Alpha students in grades K‑3 complete their academic learning through AI‑driven applications in two daily hours. As a Guide, you oversee a single cohort band — K‑1 (Kindergarten through 1st grade) or 2‑3 (2nd through 3rd grade) — and adjust your approach, rhythm, and sessions to suit that band. There are no lectures or worksheets. Half your time is spent facilitating one‑hour life‑skills workshops covering public speaking, focus, and feedback exchange.
These workshops serve as frameworks, not rigid scripts — the most effective Guides customize them for their cohort and create new sessions when gaps emerge. The remaining half involves sitting with students individually or in small clusters, analyzing Coachbot data, and coaching each child toward 100% completion of their weekly app targets. With young learners aged five and six, energy and playfulness are not optional;
they are the mechanisms that sustain attention long enough to enable learning. Warmth grants you the credibility to challenge. Challenge signals your confidence in their capacity.
- Facilitating one‑hour life‑skills workshops for cohorts of 10‑15 K‑3 students covering public speaking, focus, feedback, and other foundational competencies
- Conducting daily individual and small‑group motivation sessions that keep students on track for weekly app targets, leveraging Coachbot analytics, Alpha's incentive structures (school currency, leaderboards), and the personal rapport you establish with each child
- Administering the Test2
Pass (Alpha's mastery‑based evaluation) for each life skill, and coaching students who do not pass until they achieve mastery - Engaging kindergarteners at their developmental level through songs, stories, movement, and playfulness, while maintaining real, quantifiable expectations for second and third graders
- Serving as the warm adult children are excited to see at arrival AND the adult who will not permit them to settle for less
- Delivering instruction from the whiteboard; academic content is delivered through the apps, not by you
- Creating curriculum independently;
Alpha supplies the operational framework and you execute it with energy - Passively monitoring students on devices; motivation in this role is active, personal, and continuous
- Adjusting a weekly target downward so a child can meet it; if a student is struggling, the solution is supporting the student, not changing the goal
- Grading assignments, facilitating standardized test preparation, or handling parent communication;
Campus Leads manage parent‑facing responsibilities, and the other tasks do not exist in this model
Key Responsibilities
Ensure every student in your K‑3 cohort completes their weekly learning targets, achieves mastery in each life skill, and finishes the year reporting they loved you.
