Alpha students complete their academic learning through AI-driven applications. There are no lectures or textbooks. Approximately 60% of your time is spent facilitating one-hour life-skills workshops covering topics like public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback exchange. About 30% involves working with students individually or in small groups, analyzing their progress via Coachbot data, and driving each toward their weekly application targets.
The remaining 10% is dedicated to data analysis that informs the following week's coaching strategy. You will not follow a rigid script; workshops serve as frameworks, and top performers in this role customize them and create new content when necessary.
- Facilitating one-hour life-skills workshops for K-8 cohorts addressing public speaking, focus, feedback exchange, and other enduring competencies, modifying the existing framework and creating new sessions when you identify a need.
- Conducting daily individual and small-group motivation sessions that drive every student toward their weekly application targets, leveraging Coachbot data, Alpha's reward structures (campus currency, leaderboards), and your personal connection with each student to overcome resistance.
- Delivering the Test2
Pass (Alpha's competency-based evaluation) for each life skill, and continuing to coach students who do not achieve passing scores until mastery is reached. - Adjusting your coaching approach across a broad age spectrum, from kindergarteners requiring high energy and physical activity to 8th graders needing direct conversation and responsibility.
- Analyzing weekly cohort performance metrics in Coachbot, pinpointing students falling behind, and modifying your coaching tactics for the upcoming week based on data insights.
- Presenting lessons at a whiteboard; academic content is delivered through the applications, not by you.
- Creating an entire curriculum from scratch; you begin with an established playbook and customize it with your own enthusiasm and narrative skills.
- Passively monitoring children at computers; motivation in this environment is active, individualized, and persistent.
- Working through bureaucratic channels to secure resources for struggling students; if a student requires additional coaching time, you decide and implement immediately.
- Evaluating homework, conducting standardized test preparation, or handling parent outreach;
Campus Leads manage parent-facing responsibilities, and the other tasks do not exist in this model.
