The most meaningful support you can offer a student who reached 99% of their target is to refuse to accept it as complete. If that expectation feels uncomfortable, this position won't be a good 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 approximately two hours using adaptive software. No traditional lectures. No textbooks. Your role centers on what technology cannot replicate: guiding students through essential life skills such as public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback exchange. You'll facilitate interactive workshops, inspire students to exceed their learning targets, and develop relationships that transform a reserved 4th grader into someone who presents with confidence before an audience of adults.
This position offers clear progression. During your first year, you'll manage a small student cohort and become fluent in Alpha's methodology: life skill facilitation, motivation coaching, mastery-based evaluation. Once you demonstrate consistent success in guiding every student to 100% goal achievement while maintaining satisfaction scores exceeding 90%, opportunities open for advancement to Lead Guide, where you'll mentor a team while remaining directly engaged with students. Top performers don't merely impact individual trajectories; they influence how an entire campus functions.
Traditional schools don't offer this opportunity. If you've been working with young people in coaching, counseling, or mentoring roles and wish you could eliminate traditional instruction to focus on genuine development, this is your opportunity.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour life skill workshops for K-12 students covering topics such as public speaking, concentration, time management, and constructive feedback practices (project-based and interactive, never lecture-based)
- Conducting daily motivation coaching sessions where you engage individual students, evaluate their adaptive learning app progress (via Coachbot analytics), and drive them toward 100% weekly goal completion
- Organizing and executing mastery-based assessments (Test2Pass) to validate genuine skill acquisition, not merely participation
- Cultivating authentic relationships with each student to establish the trust necessary for effective coaching through challenges, distractions, and confidence barriers
- Monitoring student advancement against satisfaction metrics and goal completion data, modifying your methods when outcomes require improvement
What you will NOT be doing
- Presenting traditional classroom lectures or providing direct academic instruction (students master core subjects through independent adaptive applications, not through your teaching)
- Creating lesson plans independently (Alpha supplies life skills curriculum and implementation guides; your role is to execute them with enthusiasm and compelling narrative)
- Handling parent communication or administrative duties (Campus Leads manage those functions; you concentrate on student development)
- Evaluating homework or coordinating standardized test preparation (these elements don't exist in this environment)
- Operating independently (you're integrated into a campus team including Lead Guides, Campus Leads, and colleagues who exchange feedback and maintain mutual accountability)
Key responsibilities
Guarantee that every student in your cohort develops a love for learning, masters critical life skills, and achieves 100% of their academic objectives through adaptive learning technology.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution in any discipline
- 3+ years of direct experience working with K-8 students (in teaching, coaching, counseling, or youth program management capacities)
- Commitment to on-site work 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 compensated training program at Alpha's Austin, TX headquarters
- Legal work authorization in the United States without requirement for visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Background in youth development: sports coaching, camp direction, or youth programming where you held direct accountability for motivating children toward measurable objectives
- Demonstrated history of personal excellence (academic distinctions, competitive sports, or leadership positions requiring consistent high performance)
- Innate storytelling capability: you can maintain the attention of a group of 12-year-olds for an hour without needing to elevate your voice
- Proven success in engaging unmotivated or resistant students and converting them into enthusiastic participants
