Early Childhood Educator   $100,000 USD/year

Traditional education systems often teach at students rather than engaging them as active participants in their own learning.

Alpha Schools is building a new model. We've eliminated lectures and textbooks in favor of AI-driven adaptive learning paired with mentorship at the student level. Each child advances based on their individual readiness. Your role is to guide them toward recognizing their capabilities, not to follow a prescribed lesson plan.

This position is designed for high-capacity professionals who want to apply that energy to reforming an outdated system. You will not spend time grading assignments or adhering to rigid curricula. Instead, you'll facilitate workshops, spark intellectual engagement, and demonstrate that students achieve more when they direct their own learning.

Austin: A technology-driven city offering diverse culture, outdoor areas such as Zilker Park, a robust culinary landscape, and over 300 sunny days annually.

Fort Worth: A welcoming, family-centered community experiencing rapid growth in arts, dining, and commerce. Cost-effective with genuine Texas character.

Scottsdale (Phoenix): Over 300 days of sunshine yearly and an active outdoor lifestyle, paired with reasonable living costs and a flourishing arts community.

Guide learning. Embrace growth. Submit your application.
