Description
- $100,000/year W2 salary paid weekly, with health benefits starting on day one
- On-site position at the Alpha School campus in Brownsville, TX
- Relocation assistance available for a one-school-year commitment to the campus
You've spent years coaching young people — not teaching them. You understand the distinction: coaching means connecting with students, challenging them, and holding them to their best. Teaching is about content delivery. You've never operated as a content delivery system.
Alpha operates the most unconventional school you'll encounter. Students don't sit in rows listening to lectures. They progress through AI-powered learning applications at their own speed. AI manages instructional content. Your role is to lead life skills workshops that capture the attention of K-8 students, facilitate motivation sessions that drive them toward their weekly learning targets, and maintain standards when a student tries to take the easy path. The academics are handled. You manage the human element.
This position offers a ceiling worth pursuing, and that ceiling is greater student impact. Those who consistently achieve their metrics (100% of cohort reaching weekly app goals, 90%+ satisfaction scores) advance into Lead Guide positions where they mentor other educators on executing this work more effectively. Students remain the focus.
The campus sits in Brownsville, adjacent to SpaceX's Starbase. If your motivation to leave your current position is the mission — transforming what a kid believes about their potential — 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, focus, and giving and receiving feedback
- Administering Test2Pass mastery assessments following each workshop to verify students have truly acquired the skill, not merely attended
- Leading daily motivation sessions using student profiles, interests, and Coachbot analytics to achieve 100% of your cohort reaching their weekly app advancement goals
- Utilizing storytelling, incentives (school currency, leaderboards), and personal relationships to overcome student resistance
- Monitoring cohort satisfaction scores to maintain a 90%+ target on student surveys
What you will NOT be doing
- Lecturing at a whiteboard. Students progress academically through self-guided AI-powered apps, not through direct instruction from you.
- Supervising passively. Children working on computers is the environment; active engagement is the work.
- Compromising standards when students resist. Test2Pass expectations remain firm, even during a student's difficult week.
- Creating curriculum from the ground up. Lesson plans and workshop playbooks are supplied; your responsibility is to execute them with the presence and storytelling ability that ensures students genuinely internalize the material.
- Handling parent communication, admissions processes, or campus operations. Those are separate functions.
Key responsibilities
Guide a cohort of K-8 students to achieve 100% of their weekly academic goals while facilitating life skills workshops with 90%+ satisfaction scores.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any subject
- Minimum 3 years of direct experience working with K-8 (elementary and middle school) students
- Strong storytelling and facilitation presence — capable of maintaining a room of children engaged for an hour
- Willing to work on-site at the Alpha campus in Brownsville, TX
- Legal authorization to work in the US without visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Experience as an athletic coach, camp counselor, or youth program facilitator
- Demonstrated history of high performance in competitive settings (academic, athletic, or professional)
- Familiarity with self-directed or app-based learning environments
