This is not a teaching position. You motivate. The most impactful thing you can do for a student who reaches 99% of their target is to refuse to accept it as complete. If that expectation troubles you, this role is not a fit. If it energizes you because maintaining high standards is how you demonstrate belief in a student's potential, continue reading.

At Alpha, academic learning happens through AI-driven applications. No lectures. No textbooks. Half your day is spent facilitating one-hour life-skills sessions on topics like public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback. The other half, you meet with students individually or in small groups, analyze their progress using Coachbot data, and drive each one toward 100% completion of their weekly app objectives. You will not be reading from a script — sessions provide a framework, but top performers customize them and create new ones when needed.

A successful quarter means every student in your group completes their weekly app targets, passes the Test2

Pass for all life-skills workshops, and 90%+ report that they love you. Falling short on any of these three is falling short of the role. In your first year you'll internalize the system; once you demonstrate the ability to uphold expectations, you can advance to Lead Guide, where you mentor new team members while continuing direct work with students.

If you prefer traditional classroom teaching, want ready-made curriculum, or see warmth and rigor as incompatible, this role will not suit you. If you have been a sports coach, a camp counselor, a tutor who would not let a student give up, or a performer capable of commanding a room of eight-year-olds, the final stage before an offer is a full on-campus day coaching actual Alpha students.

• Facilitating one-hour life-skills sessions for K-8 groups on public speaking, concentration, feedback, and other foundational competencies, customizing the framework and creating new sessions when you identify a need
• Conducting daily individual and small-group motivation meetings that drive every student to 100% completion of their weekly app targets, leveraging Coachbot data, Alpha's incentive structures (campus currency, leaderboards), and your connection with each student to overcome resistance
• Delivering the Test2
  
  Pass (Alpha's mastery-based evaluation) for each life skill, and working with students who fall short until they achieve mastery
• Adjusting your approach across a broad age spectrum, from kindergarteners requiring high energy and physical activity to 8th graders needing candid conversation and personal accountability
• Serving as the adult who maintains expectations and the adult students trust; warmth creates the credibility to challenge, and challenging demonstrates your confidence in their capability

• Teaching at a whiteboard; content instruction is embedded in the applications, not delivered by you
• Creating curriculum from the ground up; you activate an established framework through energy and narrative
• Monitoring students at workstations; motivation in this model is direct, individualized, and persistent
• Reducing a weekly target to enable a student to reach it; when a student falls behind, the solution is to support the student, not adjust the goal
• Grading assignments, preparing standardized test materials, or handling parent outreach;
  Campus Leads manage parent-facing responsibilities, and the other tasks do not exist in this environment

Guarantee that every student in your K-8 group achieves their weekly learning objectives, demonstrates mastery of each life skill, and concludes the year affirming they loved you.

• Able to work on-site…
