Do you recognize when a student reaches 99% and feel compelled to push them to finish? The greatest act of support for a child who achieves 99% of a goal is to insist they complete the remaining 1%. If that principle unsettles you, this position is not the right fit. If it excites you because you understand that maintaining high standards demonstrates belief in a student's capability, continue reading.

Alpha operates differently from conventional schools. Students complete a full day's worth of academics in approximately two hours using adaptive technology. There are no lectures or textbooks.

Your role focuses on what technology cannot provide: guiding students from Pre‑K through 8th grade in life skills including public speaking, concentration, and peer feedback. You will spend half your time facilitating hands‑on workshops guided by structured frameworks and narrative techniques. The remaining time is devoted to individual or small‑group sessions where you examine student progress through Coachbot analytics within adaptive learning platforms and ensure they achieve 100% of weekly objectives.

Mastery is demonstrated through Test2

Pass evaluations, not participation metrics.

This position is demanding and selective. Your first year centers on mastering the curriculum: workshops, motivational coaching, mastery verification, and ensuring every student reaches 100% of their targets. Success in this role creates advancement opportunities to Lead Guide. You must combine genuine warmth with unwavering standards.

• Facilitating one-hour life skills workshops covering public speaking, concentration, teamwork, and feedback skills, adjusting your delivery and energy for students ranging from Pre‑K through 8th grade
• Conducting daily individual and small‑group coaching sessions to review student progress in adaptive learning platforms (tracked through Coachbot analytics), establish objectives, and ensure 100% completion of weekly targets

• Implementing focused interventions when students experience academic setbacks or disengagement — diagnosing underlying issues and creating action plans for recovery
• Cultivating authentic connections with each student that create the trust necessary for them to receive coaching through challenges, distractions, and uncertainty

• Delivering traditional lectures or direct academic instruction (core subjects are learned through adaptive platforms, not through your teaching)
• Creating original lesson plans or curriculum materials (Alpha supplies life skills frameworks; your responsibility is to execute them with engagement and narrative skill)
• Handling parent communications or administrative duties (Campus Leads manage these areas; your attention remains on students)
• Assigning or grading homework or preparing students for standardized tests (these elements do not exist in this model)
• Operating independently (you collaborate with a campus team including Lead Guides, Campus Leads, and colleagues who provide mutual feedback and accountability)

Guarantee that every student in your group develops a love for learning, achieves mastery in fundamental life skills, and completes 100% of their academic objectives through the adaptive learning platform.
