Description
- Located on-site at the Alpha School campus in Brownsville, TX
- $100,000 annual W2 salary with weekly pay. Health benefits begin day one.
- Relocation assistance provided for a one-school-year campus commitment
You've spent years coaching young people — not instructing them. You understand the distinction: coaching means connecting, pushing boundaries, and refusing to accept anything less than a student's full potential. Instruction is content delivery. You've never operated as a content delivery mechanism.
Alpha operates the most unconventional educational model you'll encounter. Students don't occupy rows listening to lectures. They progress through AI-driven learning applications at individual speeds. The AI manages instructional delivery. Your responsibility is facilitating life skills workshops that command K-8 students' attention, leading motivation sessions that drive weekly learning goal achievement, and maintaining standards when students attempt to disengage. Academic progress is automated. You manage the human dimension.
This position offers a meaningful advancement path, and that path leads to greater student impact. Those who reliably achieve targets (100% cohort completion of weekly app goals, satisfaction scores above 90%) advance to Lead Guide positions where they train other educators in these methods. Students remain the central focus.
The campus sits in Brownsville, adjacent to SpaceX's Starbase facility. If your motivation for leaving your current position is mission — transforming what a child believes about their own capacity — rather than resume building, submit your application.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour life skills workshops for K-8 students addressing public speaking, concentration, and feedback exchange
- Administering Test2Pass mastery assessments following each workshop to verify students have genuinely acquired the skill, not merely attended
- Leading daily motivation sessions using student profiles, personal interests, and Coachbot analytics to ensure 100% of your cohort achieves weekly app advancement goals
- Employing storytelling, incentive systems (school currency, leaderboards), and individual connection to overcome student resistance
- Monitoring cohort satisfaction scores with a 90%+ target based on student surveys
What you will NOT be doing
- Lecturing from the front of a room. Students progress academically via self-directed AI-powered applications, not through direct instruction from you.
- Supervising passively. Students working on computers is the environment; active engagement defines the role.
- Reducing standards when students resist. Test2Pass requirements remain consistent, regardless of individual circumstances during a given week.
- Creating curriculum independently. Lesson frameworks and workshop materials are supplied; your responsibility is executing them with the presence and narrative skill that ensures genuine student absorption.
- Handling parent relations, managing admissions processes, or supervising campus operations. Those functions belong to different roles.
Key responsibilities
Guide a cohort of K-8 students to achieve 100% of weekly academic objectives while facilitating life skills workshops that maintain 90%+ satisfaction scores.
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 one-hour sessions
- Prepared 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 leader
- Demonstrated high performance record in competitive settings (academic, athletic, or professional)
- Familiarity with self-directed or app-based learning environments
