Description
- On-site at the Alpha School campus located in Brownsville, TX
- $100,000 annual W2 salary with weekly pay. Full health benefits begin on day one.
- Relocation assistance provided in exchange for a one-school-year on-campus commitment
You've dedicated years to coaching children — and you understand the distinction. Coaching means connecting with students, challenging them, and refusing to accept anything less than their best effort. Teaching means delivering content. You've never operated as a content delivery mechanism.
Alpha operates one of the most unconventional schools you'll encounter. Students don't sit in rows listening to lectures. They progress through AI-powered learning applications at their individual pace. The AI manages instructional content. 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 coast. Academic progress happens automatically. You manage the human dimension.
This position offers a meaningful ceiling: deeper student impact. Educators who consistently achieve their metrics (100% cohort achievement of weekly app goals, 90%+ satisfaction scores) advance into Lead Guide positions where they mentor other educators to improve their practice. 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 potential — rather than adding a line to your resume, submit your application.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour life skills workshops for K-8 students that address public speaking, focus, and giving and receiving feedback
- Administering Test2Pass mastery assessments following each workshop to verify students have genuinely acquired the skill, not simply attended
- Conducting daily motivation sessions that leverage student profiles, interests, and Coachbot analytics to ensure 100% of your cohort achieves their weekly app progression goals
- Using storytelling, incentive structures (school currency, leaderboards), and personal relationships to overcome student resistance
- Monitoring cohort satisfaction scores to reach a 90%+ benchmark on student surveys
What you will NOT be doing
- Standing at a whiteboard delivering lectures. Students progress academically via self-guided AI-powered applications, not through direct instruction from you.
- Providing passive supervision. The environment includes kids working on computers; the role demands active engagement.
- Reducing standards when students resist. Test2Pass benchmarks remain consistent, even when a student is experiencing a difficult week.
- Creating curriculum materials from the ground up. Lesson plans and workshop frameworks are supplied; your responsibility is to execute them with the presence and storytelling ability that ensures genuine student learning.
- Handling parent communications, managing admissions processes, or supervising campus operations. Those functions belong to a different role.

- Legal authorization to work in the US without requiring visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Experience as an athletic coach, camp counselor, or youth program facilitator
