Educator, Alpha - $100,000​/year USD

Young students seldom recall every individual lesson. They do remember the adults who believed in their potential. That is this position. At Alpha, academic work is completed in just two hours daily through adaptive learning technology. This structure allows Guides to dedicate their energy to life-changing work: fostering confidence, resilience, communication skills, and the drive to embrace difficult challenges. Your day will not be spent delivering instruction from the front of a room.

Instead, you will coach students through obstacles, acknowledge achievements, and demonstrate what rigorous standards look like when combined with authentic support.

You will guide one K-3 cohort band—either Kindergarten-1st grade or 2nd-3rd grade. Half your time is devoted to facilitating dynamic, one-hour workshops focused on life skills such as public speaking, concentration, and receiving feedback. The remaining half involves individual and small-group coaching, leveraging learning analytics to ensure every child advances toward challenging weekly objectives. Every moment counts. Students should exit your workshops with greater capability and leave coaching conversations believing they can accomplish more than previously imagined.

This position is not suited for someone seeking to deliver standard curriculum or oversee a traditional classroom. It is designed for individuals who enjoy motivating young learners, value measurable progress, and trust that the right coach can alter a child's path. If you have inspired children as an educator, coach, camp counselor, youth mentor, or performer, you will discover a distinctly different educational environment here.

This is a full-time, on-site position at an Alpha campus. We conduct nationwide recruitment, so job postings may appear in nearby cities without campuses.

• Facilitate interactive life-skills workshops that enable K-3 students to develop communication, focus, feedback reception, and other enduring competencies through active engagement rather than passive listening.
• Provide one-on-one and small-group coaching, utilizing Coachbot analytics, established motivation frameworks, and meaningful relationships to ensure every child progresses toward challenging weekly learning targets.
• Evaluate life-skill proficiency using Alpha's Test2
  
  Pass system, coaching students until they display genuine mastery—not merely attendance.
• Tailor your coaching approach to match the developmental stage of your cohort, incorporating songs, movement, and narratives for younger children or fostering greater independence and responsibility for older students.
• Cultivate relationships in which students feel sufficiently supported to push beyond their perceived limits.

• Delivering academic instruction from a whiteboard. Academic learning occurs through adaptive software.
• Creating curriculum materials from the ground up. You will refine and personalize established playbooks rather than designing lessons from scratch.
• Observing students as they quietly work on computers. Your function is active coaching, encouragement, and relationship-building.
• Reducing standards when students face difficulties. Growth results from helping students meet the challenge, not adjusting the challenge downward.
• Overseeing homework, grading assignments, or managing standard parent communications.
