Description
- On-site at an Alpha campus: Dallas, TX · Oklahoma City, OK · Austin, TX · Keller (Fort Worth), TX · The Woodlands (Houston), TX
- $150,000/year W2 salary, paid weekly. Day-one health benefits.
- Relocation support available
The most powerful support you can offer a student who scored 99% is to tell them they fell short of passing.
Not because flawlessness is the goal. Because holding the conviction that someone can achieve more is among the most profound forms of respect.
Traditional schools shield students from setbacks. Alpha equips them for achievement. We understand that confidence doesn't emerge from reducing standards. It emerges when students accomplish what they previously believed impossible. This understanding informs every choice we make.
Our approach is intentionally distinct. Students progress through academics autonomously using AI-driven platforms, which allows adults to concentrate on transformative work: developing character, strengthening resilience, cultivating leadership, and establishing habits that yield exceptional outcomes. We don't require adults to transmit information. We require leaders who understand how to draw excellence from others.
This position anchors that mission. You'll cultivate the Guides who engage directly with students, transforming them into outstanding coaches rather than conventional instructors. You'll facilitate life skills workshops that leave lasting impressions for years. You'll analyze performance data to pinpoint where students or Guides are underperforming and guide them back toward excellence. You'll simultaneously lead your own student cohort, demonstrating the very standards you uphold.
The multiplier effect is substantial. Each Guide you develop impacts dozens of students. Every enhancement you introduce to campus culture amplifies across hundreds of young lives. Success isn't defined by meeting attendance or report generation. It's defined by whether students grow more confident, disciplined, resilient, and capable because of the environment you helped establish.
This position isn't designed for someone seeking to maintain the existing education system. It's designed for someone who believes young people merit more than compliance, time served, and mediocre expectations. If you're motivated by guiding people through challenging obstacles, leveraging data to inform superior decisions, and maintaining rigorous standards because you authentically believe others can meet them, you'll excel here.
Apply if you're prepared to establish a culture where excellence is non-negotiable, coaching transforms lives, and students realize they're capable of achievements far beyond their initial assumptions.
What you will be doing
- Develop and coach Guides to execute Alpha's coaching model with precision, enthusiasm, and unwavering standards.
- Facilitate compelling life skills workshops addressing communication, concentration, feedback, leadership, and resilience for K-8 students using established playbooks.
- Analyze student and Guide performance metrics to surface coaching opportunities, eliminate obstacles, and produce measurable progress weekly.
- Conduct motivation sessions that empower every student to embrace ambitious objectives and reliably accomplish them.
- Oversee your own student cohort while exemplifying the coaching quality and accountability you require from all Guides.
What you will NOT be doing
- Delivering instruction in academic subjects. Students advance through core academics independently via AI-powered learning applications.
- Developing lesson plans or building curriculum. Your responsibility is outstanding coaching, not producing instructional content.
- Controlling classrooms through lectures, worksheets, or behavioral management systems. Students direct their own learning, and you coach the practices that enable success.
- Reducing standards to sidestep challenging discussions. Rigorous expectations and authentic belief in each student's capacity are inseparable.
- Defining success by volume of activity rather than outcomes. Impact matters more than effort by itself.
Key responsibilities
Establish a coaching culture in which exceptional Guides reliably cultivate students who are passionate about school, achieve academic mastery at an accelerated rate, and develop the resilience, leadership, and life competencies necessary to thrive well beyond the classroom.
