This is not a teaching position. This is a motivation role. If you are uncomfortable insisting on high standards that feel harsh, this role is not for you. If it energizes you to maintain high standards, read on.

• Facilitating one-hour life-skills workshops for K-8 cohorts covering public speaking, focus, feedback exchange, and other transferable skills, customizing the existing framework and creating new sessions when you identify developmental gaps
• Conducting daily individual and small-group motivation sessions designed to push every student toward their weekly app targets, leveraging Coachbot analytics, Alpha’s incentive structures (school currency, leaderboards), and your personal rapport with each student to overcome resistance
• Delivering the Test2
  
  Pass (Alpha’s mastery-based assessment) for each life skill, and providing continued coaching to students who do not achieve passing scores until mastery is demonstrated
• Adjusting your coaching approach across a broad age spectrum, from kindergarteners who require high energy and physical activity to 8th graders who respond to direct conversation and personal accountability
• Analyzing weekly cohort performance data in Coachbot, pinpointing students who are falling behind, and modifying your coaching tactics for the upcoming week based on data-driven insights

• Delivering traditional whiteboard instruction; academic content is handled by the apps, not by you
• Creating an entire curriculum from scratch; you begin with an established playbook and personalize it with your own style and narrative techniques
• Passively monitoring students on computers; motivation in this context is active, individualized, and persistent
• Working through bureaucratic processes to secure resources for students in need; if a student requires additional coaching time, you decide and implement immediately
• Evaluating homework, conducting standardized test preparation, or handling parent communications;
  Campus Leads manage parent-facing responsibilities, and the other tasks do not exist in this model

Guarantee that every student in your K-8 cohort reaches their weekly learning targets, achieves mastery in each life skill, and finishes the year expressing genuine appreciation for your impact.

• A concrete example you can articulate of motivating a K-8 student toward a challenging goal: the objective, your actions, and the result
• Comfort allowing AI to manage instructional content while you concentrate on motivation and life-skills development
• Legal authorization to work in the US without requiring visa sponsorship

• Background in youth sports coaching, debate, camp leadership, theater, or after-school programs where you held direct responsibility for motivating children toward defined objectives
• Demonstrated personal achievement (academic, athletic, or professional) that shows holding others to demanding standards is intrinsic to who you are, not performative
• Narrative ability and presence sufficient to engage a room of 12-year-olds for an hour without needing to raise your voice
