Your role is to motivate, not teach.

When a six‑year‑old reaches 99% of their goal, the most supportive response is to refuse to call it complete. If that principle unsettles you, this role is not for you. If it energizes you because you know that maintaining high standards is how you demonstrate belief in a kindergartener's potential, continue reading.

At Alpha, K‑3 students complete their academic work through AI‑powered applications in two hours daily. As a Guide, you lead one cohort band—either K‑1 (Kindergarten through 1st grade) or 2‑3 (2nd through 3rd grade)—and adjust your energy, tempo, and workshop approach to fit 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 skills.

These workshops serve as frameworks, not rigid scripts—the most effective Guides customize them for their cohort and create new ones when gaps emerge. During the remaining half, you work with students individually or in small groups, analyze Coachbot data, and coach each child toward 100% completion of their weekly app targets. With five‑ and six‑year‑olds, energy and playfulness are not optional additions;

they are the means by which you sustain attention long enough to deliver any lesson. Warmth gives you the credibility to challenge them. Challenge demonstrates your confidence in their capacity.

A successful quarter means every student completes their weekly app goals, passes the Test2

Pass for every life‑skills workshop, and 90%+ report that they love you. Falling short on any of these three metrics means falling short of the role. In your first year, you internalize the playbook; once you demonstrate your ability to maintain standards, you become eligible for Lead Guide, where you mentor new hires while continuing to work directly with children.

If you are drawn to traditional teaching, prefer a pre‑packaged curriculum, or believe warmth and rigor are incompatible, this position is not a fit. If you have experience as an early‑elementary teacher who excelled during circle time, a camp counselor for young children, a youth sports coach, a children's theater performer, or anyone who can command a room of kindergarteners through voice, play, and energy, the final step before receiving an offer is a shadow day on campus where you coach actual Alpha students.
