Description
- Located on the Alpha School campus in Brownsville, TX
- W2 salary of $100,000 annually, with weekly pay and health benefits effective day one
- Relocation assistance available for candidates committing to one full school year on campus
You've built your career coaching young people — not lecturing them. The distinction matters: coaches challenge, connect, and push students to reach their potential. Teachers deliver lessons. You've never seen yourself as a lesson-delivery mechanism.
Alpha operates a school model unlike anything you've encountered. There are no rows of desks and no front-of-the-room lectures. Students progress independently through AI-driven learning applications. The AI manages academic instruction. Your responsibility is facilitating life skills workshops that captivate K-8 students, leading motivation sessions that drive weekly learning targets, and maintaining standards when students try to disengage. The academic content runs itself. You own the human element.
This position offers meaningful upward growth tied to student outcomes. Educators who reliably achieve their metrics — 100% of students meeting weekly app targets, satisfaction ratings above 90% — advance into Lead Guide positions where they train other staff to elevate their practice. Students remain the focus.
The Brownsville campus sits adjacent to SpaceX's Starbase facility. If you're considering leaving your current role because of mission — reshaping what a child believes they can achieve — and not resume padding, this is worth your time.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour life skills workshops for K-8 students on topics including public speaking, concentration, and how to give and receive feedback
- Administering Test2Pass mastery assessments following each workshop to verify students have internalized the skill, not simply attended the session
- Conducting daily motivation sessions informed by student profiles, personal interests, and Coachbot data to achieve 100% cohort completion of weekly app progression goals
- Leveraging narrative techniques, incentive structures (campus currency, performance leaderboards), and individual rapport to overcome student reluctance
- Monitoring cohort satisfaction metrics with a target of 90%+ on student feedback surveys
What you will NOT be doing
- Lecturing from the front of a classroom. Academic progression happens via self-paced AI-powered applications, not through direct instruction from you.
- Supervising students passively. The environment involves students using computers; the role requires active facilitation.
- Relaxing standards in response to student pushback. Test2Pass benchmarks remain consistent, even during difficult weeks.
- Creating original curriculum. Workshop frameworks and lesson plans are supplied; your responsibility is executing them with the storytelling ability and presence that ensures genuine student learning.
- Handling parent communications, admissions processes, or campus-level operations. Those responsibilities belong to other positions.
Key responsibilities

- Authorization to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Experience as a sports coach, camp counselor, or youth program leader
