The most compassionate act for a student who scores 99% is to tell them it's not passing. If that statement troubles you, this role isn't the right fit. If you agree, continue reading.
At Alpha, students complete their academic learning in two hours daily using self-directed AI-powered applications. No traditional teachers. No lectures. No classroom instruction in subject matter. This structure allows you to focus on work that fundamentally shifts outcomes: facilitating high-impact workshops on public speaking, concentration, and feedback; driving students toward complete goal attainment using live analytics; and developing the Guides who support you.
A typical morning may begin with a coaching conversation with a Guide, analyzing performance metrics and pinpointing where a cohort is underperforming. By noon you're facilitating a live student workshop, executing a structured activity on feedback exchange. The afternoon transitions to motivational work: one-on-one student conversations, discovering their intrinsic drivers, and applying Alpha's incentive framework to re-engage a reluctant 7th grader. You manage your own cohort directly, ensuring you maintain the same competencies you're developing in others.
You've likely been the misfit in traditional education: overly analytical, excessively outcome-oriented, too ready to question conventional approaches to student development. Alpha may be the first environment where you truly belong. You'll begin coaching Guides immediately, and as you generate measurable impact, your authority over campus-wide programming expands.
Uphold the standard. Transform the student. Apply today.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour live workshops on life competencies (public speaking, concentration, feedback exchange) for K-8 (elementary and middle school) cohorts, executing Alpha's structured playbook rather than creating content
- Conducting motivation sessions leveraging student analytics and Alpha's incentive framework (school currency, leaderboards) to achieve 100% student goal attainment
- Developing Guides on program adherence and standards maintenance, ensuring each session yields concrete improvement actions
- Managing your own student cohort while simultaneously developing other Guides
- Monitoring student satisfaction metrics, goal completion percentages, and Guide performance indicators weekly to identify underperformance before it escalates
What you will NOT be doing
- Teaching or tutoring students in academic content. Students progress through self-directed apps without direct adult instruction.
- Creating curriculum or developing lesson plans independently. The playbook is established; your focus is precise execution, not creative innovation.
- Developing Guides on instructional technique. Guides don't deliver instruction, so you're coaching drive, motivation, and accountability mechanisms.
- Accepting 99% completion instead of 100%. Maintaining expectations demonstrates your confidence in their capability.
- Serving as the "emotional sponge" common in traditional schools. Students receive connection alongside honest feedback and genuine accountability.
Key responsibilities
Fulfill Alpha's three commitments to every student in your cohort: they experience genuine enthusiasm for school, accelerate learning at twice the rate of traditional classrooms, and build authentic life competencies.
