The most powerful thing you can do for a student who achieves 99% is tell them it's not passing. If that thought makes you uncomfortable, this role isn't for you. If you agree, read on.
Alpha students master academics in two hours daily using self-guided AI-powered applications. No traditional teachers. No lectures. No classroom-based content instruction. This structure allows you to focus on work that genuinely transforms student outcomes: facilitating high-impact workshops on public speaking, concentration, and feedback; driving students toward complete learning goal attainment using live analytics; and developing the Guides who support your work.
A typical morning includes one-on-one Guide coaching, analyzing performance metrics and pinpointing where cohorts are underperforming. Midday involves facilitating student workshops, executing playbook exercises on feedback exchange. Afternoons are dedicated to motivation: engaging individual students, identifying their drivers, and applying Alpha's incentive framework to re-engage a struggling 7th grader. You manage your own cohort directly, keeping your skills aligned with what you're coaching others to build.
You've likely been the outlier in education: too metrics-oriented, too outcome-focused, too ready to question conventional approaches with students. Alpha may be where you finally belong. You'll begin coaching Guides immediately, and as you generate measurable impact, your authority over campus program standards expands.
Uphold the standard. Transform the student. Apply now.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour live workshops on life skills (public speaking, concentration, feedback exchange) for K-8 (elementary and middle school) cohorts, executing Alpha's playbook rather than creating new 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 enforcement, with each session yielding concrete improvement actions
- Managing your own student cohort while simultaneously developing other Guides
- Monitoring student satisfaction scores, goal completion rates, and Guide performance data weekly to identify underperformance before escalation
What you will NOT be doing
- Lecturing or tutoring students on academic content. Students master material through self-guided applications without adult instruction.
- Creating curriculum or developing original lesson plans. The playbook is established; success is measured by execution fidelity, not creativity.
- Coaching Guides on instructional methods. Guides don't teach content, so you're developing their energy, motivation, and accountability capabilities instead.
- Making allowances when a student reaches 99% instead of 100%. Maintaining the standard demonstrates your belief in their full potential.
- Being the "big ball of empathy" found in every school. Students receive connection here, along with direct feedback and meaningful consequences.
Key responsibilities
Deliver Alpha's three commitments to every student in your cohort: they love school, learn twice as fast as a traditional classroom, and develop real life skills.
