Description
- On-site position at the Alpha School campus located in Brownsville, TX
- $100,000 annual W2 salary with weekly pay. Full health benefits starting day one.
- Relocation assistance provided for a one-school-year campus commitment
You've devoted years to coaching young people — not merely teaching them. You understand the distinction: a coach builds relationships, issues challenges, and doesn't allow students to settle for anything less than their potential. A teacher transmits information. You've never been simply an information delivery mechanism.
Alpha operates the most unorthodox school you're likely to encounter. Students don't occupy desks in rows listening to lectures. They progress through AI-driven learning applications at individualized speeds. AI manages the instructional delivery. Your responsibility is to facilitate life skills workshops that capture the attention of K-8 students, conduct motivation sessions that drive them toward their weekly learning targets, and maintain standards when a student attempts to drift. The academic progress handles itself. You manage the human dimension.
This position offers a meaningful ceiling, and that ceiling is greater student impact. Those who reliably achieve their metrics (100% of cohort reaching weekly app targets, 90%+ satisfaction ratings) advance into Lead Guide positions where they mentor other educators in refining this work. Students remain the focus.
The campus sits in Brownsville, adjacent to SpaceX's Starbase facility. If your motivation for leaving your current position is the mission — transforming what a child believes about their capabilities — rather than the credential on your resume, submit your application.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour life skills workshops with K-8 students on topics including public speaking, concentration, and feedback exchange
- Administering Test2Pass mastery assessments following each workshop to verify students have authentically acquired the skill, not merely attended
- Conducting daily motivation sessions leveraging student profiles, personal interests, and Coachbot analytics to achieve 100% of your cohort reaching their weekly app progression goals
- Utilizing storytelling, incentive systems (school currency, leaderboards), and individual relationships to overcome student resistance
- Monitoring cohort satisfaction ratings toward a 90%+ benchmark on student surveys
What you will NOT be doing
- Lecturing from the front of the room. Students progress academically through self-paced AI-driven apps, not through direct instruction from you.
- Passive supervision. Children working on computers is the environment; active engagement is the responsibility.
- Compromising standards when students resist. Test2Pass expectations remain firm, regardless of a student's difficult week.
- Creating curriculum from the ground up. Workshop playbooks and lesson plans are supplied; your responsibility is to execute them with the storytelling skill and presence that ensures students genuinely internalize the content.
- Handling parent communication, conducting admissions, or supervising campus operations. Those belong to a different position.
Key responsibilities
Guide a cohort of K-8 students to achieve 100% of their weekly academic targets while facilitating life skills workshops with 90%+ satisfaction ratings.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any field
- Minimum 3 years of direct experience working with K-8 (elementary and middle school) students
- Strong storytelling and facilitation presence — capable of maintaining children's engagement for an hour
- Willing to work on-site at the Alpha campus in Brownsville, TX
- Authorization to work legally in the US without requiring visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Experience as an athletic coach, camp counselor, or youth program facilitator
- Demonstrated history of high achievement in competitive settings (academic, athletic, or professional)
- Familiarity working in a self-paced or app-based learning environment
