Educator, Alpha

$100,000 annual W2 salary paid weekly, plus health, dental, and vision benefits starting day one. On‑site position at an Alpha campus in Phoenix, AZ;
Oklahoma City, OK;
Tulsa, OK;
Nashville, TN;
Austin, TX;
Fort Worth, TX;
Houston, TX; or Park City (Salt Lake City), UT—relocation support available.

Your role is to motivate, not teach.

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. Half your time is spent facilitating one‑hour life‑skills workshops covering public speaking, focus, and feedback skills.

The workshops serve as frameworks, and you customize them or create new ones when needed. During the remaining half, you work with students individually or in small groups, analyze Coachbot data, and coach each child toward 100% completion of weekly app targets. Energy and playfulness sustain attention long enough to deliver any lesson, and warmth gives you the credibility to challenge students.

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

Pass for every life‑skills workshop, and 90%+ of students report that they love you. Falling short on any of these 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, mentoring new hires while continuing to work directly with children.

• Facilitating one‑hour life‑skills workshops for cohorts of 10‑15 K‑3 students, covering public speaking, focus, feedback, and other foundational skills
• Conducting daily 1:1 and small‑group coaching sessions that keep students on track for weekly app targets, leveraging Coachbot analytics and Alpha’s incentive structures
• Delivering the Test2
  
  Pass (Alpha’s mastery‑based assessment) for each life skill and coaching students who fail until they achieve mastery
• Engaging kindergarteners through songs, stories, movement, and playfulness, while holding second and third graders accountable to concrete, measurable expectations
• Serving as the warm adult children are excited to see at drop‑off and the adult who will not allow them to settle for less than their best

• Delivering lectures from a whiteboard; academic content is housed in the apps, not delivered by you
• Building curriculum from the ground up;
  Alpha supplies the playbook and you execute it
• Passively monitoring children at computers; motivation in this role is active, personal, and continuous
• Adjusting a weekly target downward so a child can meet it; when a student falls behind, the solution is to support the student, not lower the standard
• Grading homework, administering standardized test preparation, or managing parent communications;
  Campus Leads handle parent‑facing responsibilities, and the rest do not exist in this environment
