Description
- On-site position at Alpha School's Brownsville, TX campus
- $100,000 annual W2 salary with weekly pay. Health benefits begin on day one.
- Relocation assistance available for candidates committing to a one-school-year term on campus
You've dedicated years to coaching young people — a role fundamentally different from teaching. You understand that distinction: coaching means forging connections, issuing challenges, and holding students accountable to their potential. Teaching means delivering curriculum. You've never been someone who simply transmits information.
Alpha operates the most unconventional educational model you're likely to encounter. Students don't occupy rows while absorbing lectures. They progress through AI-driven learning applications individually, advancing at their own rate. The AI manages instructional delivery. Your responsibility centers on facilitating life skills workshops that capture and hold K-8 students' focus, conducting motivation sessions that drive weekly learning target achievement, and maintaining standards when students attempt to underperform. Academic progress is systematized. You manage the relational and developmental components.
This position offers meaningful advancement, and that advancement translates to expanded student influence. Educators who reliably achieve performance benchmarks (100% cohort attainment of weekly app objectives, satisfaction scores at 90% or above) advance into Lead Guide positions, where they train and develop other staff members. Students remain the central focus throughout.
The campus sits in Brownsville, adjacent to SpaceX's Starbase facility. If your motivation for career transition is mission-driven — fundamentally altering a child's self-perception — rather than credential-building, submit your application.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour life skills workshops for K-8 students on topics including public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback exchange
- Administering Test2Pass mastery assessments following each workshop to verify actual skill acquisition rather than passive attendance
- Conducting daily motivation sessions leveraging student profiles, personal interests, and Coachbot data analytics to achieve 100% cohort completion of weekly app progression targets
- Employing narrative techniques, incentive structures (campus currency, performance leaderboards), and individualized relationships to overcome student reluctance
- Monitoring cohort satisfaction metrics with a target threshold of 90%+ on student feedback surveys
What you will NOT be doing
- Delivering traditional lectures from the front of a classroom. Academic advancement occurs through self-directed AI-powered applications, not through direct instruction from you.
- Providing passive supervision. The environment involves students working on computers; the role demands active facilitation and engagement.
- Reducing expectations in response to student resistance. Test2Pass performance standards remain consistent even when students face challenging weeks.
- Creating original curriculum materials. Workshop frameworks and lesson plans are furnished; your responsibility is executing them with the interpersonal presence and narrative skill that ensures genuine student comprehension.
- Handling parent communications, admissions processes, or campus operational management. Those functions belong to separate positions.
Key responsibilities
Guide a cohort of K-8 students to achieve 100% completion of weekly academic objectives while facilitating life skills workshops that maintain satisfaction scores at or above 90%.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any discipline
- Minimum of 3 years of direct experience working with K-8 (elementary and middle school) aged students
- Demonstrated storytelling ability and facilitation presence — capacity to maintain children's engagement throughout hour-long sessions
- Availability to work on-site at Alpha's Brownsville, TX campus location
- Authorization to work legally in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Experience as an athletic coach, camp counselor, or youth program coordinator
- Documented history of excellence in competitive settings (academic, athletic, or professional contexts)
- Prior involvement with self-directed or application-based learning models
