The most valuable thing you can offer a student who achieved 99% of their target is to refuse to accept it as complete. If that expectation feels uncomfortable, this position won't be a fit. If it energizes you because you understand that maintaining high standards demonstrates your belief in a student's capability, continue reading.
Alpha operates differently from conventional schools. Students complete a full academic day in roughly two hours using adaptive software. No traditional lectures. No textbooks. Your responsibility covers what technology cannot: guiding students through essential life skills including public speaking, concentration, and feedback exchange. You'll facilitate practical workshops, drive students toward their learning targets, and develop relationships that transform a reserved 4th grader into someone who presents with confidence before adult audiences.
This position grows over time. During year one, you manage a small student group and internalize Alpha's methodology: life skill workshops, motivational coaching, mastery-based evaluation. Once you demonstrate the ability to guide every student to 100% goal achievement while maintaining satisfaction ratings above 90%, advancement to Lead Guide becomes available—a role where you mentor a team while remaining directly engaged with students. Top performers don't merely impact individual trajectories; they influence entire campus cultures.
Traditional schools don't offer this opportunity. If you've been working with young people through coaching, counseling, or mentoring and want to move beyond instructional teaching to focus on genuine development, this is the right transition.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour life skill workshops for K-12 students covering public speaking, focus, time management, and feedback processes (experiential and project-driven, never lecture-based)
- Conducting daily motivational check-ins where you engage individual students, assess their adaptive learning app performance (via Coachbot analytics), and drive them toward 100% weekly goal completion
- Organizing and executing mastery-based assessments (Test2Pass) that verify genuine skill acquisition rather than simple participation
- Cultivating authentic connections with each student to establish the trust necessary for coaching through challenges including resistance, distraction, and self-doubt
- Monitoring student outcomes through satisfaction metrics and goal achievement data, modifying your methods when performance doesn't meet standards
What you will NOT be doing
- Teaching traditional classroom lessons or providing direct academic instruction (core subjects are learned through self-directed adaptive applications, not through you)
- Creating lesson plans independently (Alpha supplies life skills curriculum and operational guides; your role is to execute them with enthusiasm and narrative skill)
- Handling parent communications or administrative functions (Campus Leads manage these areas; you concentrate on student engagement)
- Evaluating homework assignments or overseeing standardized test preparation (these elements don't exist in this environment)
- Operating independently (you collaborate with a campus team including Lead Guides, Campus Leads, and colleagues who provide mutual feedback and accountability)
Key responsibilities
Guarantee that every student within your cohort develops a love for school, achieves mastery of critical life skills, and reaches 100% of their academic targets through adaptive learning technology.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any discipline
- 3+ years of direct experience working with K-8 students (through teaching, coaching, counseling, or youth program management)
- Commitment to work on-site at an Alpha campus located in Denver, CO; Atlanta, GA; Nashville, TN; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX; or Park City, UT (relocation assistance available)
- Availability to participate in a paid training program held at Alpha's Austin, TX campus
- Legal work authorization in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Background in youth development: sports coaching, camp direction, or youth program management where you held direct accountability for motivating children toward measurable objectives
- History of personal excellence (academic distinctions, competitive sports participation, or leadership positions requiring sustained high performance)
- Innate narrative skills: you can maintain the attention of a group of 12-year-olds for an hour without increasing volume
- Success motivating unmotivated or reluctant students and converting them into engaged participants
