Description
- Onsite in Bethesda, MD | Chicago, IL | Piedmont, CA
- $200,000/year, paid weekly. Day-one health, dental, and vision
- Relocation support included
The most supportive thing you can do for a student who scored 99% is refuse to call it 100%. If that sentence makes you uncomfortable, this isn't your role. If it makes you nod, keep reading.
Alpha's students don't sit through lectures. They sprint through adaptive apps, master content at twice the pace of a traditional classroom, and build real-world life skills along the way. Your job is to make sure three promises land for every kid in your cohort: they love school, they learn 2x faster, and they walk away with skills no textbook teaches. You also coach the Guides who deliver those same promises across your campus.
Your mornings start with data. Analytics show which students are on track and which need a push. By mid-morning you're running a live workshop, coaching a room of K-8 students through public speaking or focus exercises using Alpha's playbook. After lunch you're observing a Guide's session, then pulling them aside with three specific actions to sharpen their delivery. Some days you're the hype engine in a motivation huddle, turning leaderboard competitions into fuel. You stay hands-on with your own student cohort while developing Guides who can match your standard and as they do, your impact multiplies from one cohort to an entire campus.
You'll watch shy kids present confidently to adults. You'll see a student who "hated school" ask to stay late. And you'll know that the standard you held is exactly what got them there because holding the bar is how you show someone you believe they can clear it.
If you've shattered records, flipped underperformers into stars, and you're ready to do it for kids: apply now.
What you will be doing
- Running one-hour live workshops with K-8 students on life skills like public speaking, focus, and giving and receiving feedback, following Alpha's playbook
- Coaching Guides through observation, targeted feedback, and hands-on development so they deliver workshops with the same energy and precision you do
- Leading daily motivation sessions that drive 100% of students to their weekly learning goals using age-appropriate incentives like school currency and leaderboards
- Reviewing Coachbot analytics and student profiles to identify who needs intervention, then intervening personally
- Mentoring your own small cohort of students directly, modeling the coaching and motivation strategies you expect from every Guide
What you will NOT be doing
- Writing lesson plans or designing curriculum. Students learn through adaptive apps; your job is to make the humans around them extraordinary.
- Lecturing in front of a classroom. You're 80% entertainer, 20% subject-matter; if you wanted to stand at a whiteboard, this isn't it.
- Making exceptions when a student is "close enough." 100% mastery is the bar, and lowering it isn't kindness.
- Sitting in an office reviewing paperwork. Most of your day is face-to-face with students and Guides.
Key responsibilities
Deliver Alpha's 3 Promises: every kid loves school, learns at 2x pace, and masters life skills, across your cohort and the cohorts your Guides.
