Telling a child who scored 99% that they didn't pass may be the most powerful thing you can do for them. If that statement makes you uncomfortable, this role isn't for you. If it resonates, continue reading.
Alpha's model allows students to complete academic learning in two hours daily using self-guided, AI-powered applications. There are no teachers, no lectures, and no classroom instruction to manage. This structure creates space for you to focus on work that genuinely shifts outcomes: facilitating high-impact workshops on public speaking, concentration, and feedback; using live analytics to motivate students toward full goal achievement; and developing the Guides who support this model alongside you.
A typical morning may involve one-on-one coaching with a Guide, analyzing performance metrics to pinpoint where a cohort is underperforming. By midday, you're running a structured workshop with students, executing a playbook exercise on delivering and receiving feedback. Afternoons are reserved for motivation work: engaging with individual students, identifying their intrinsic drivers, and applying Alpha's incentive framework to re-engage a reluctant 7th grader. You maintain direct responsibility for your own cohort, ensuring you remain practiced in the competencies you're teaching others to build.
You've likely felt out of place in traditional education: too metric-oriented, too outcome-focused, too ready to question conventional approaches to student development. Alpha may be the first environment where you belong. You'll begin coaching other Guides immediately, and as you produce measurable results at scale, your authority over campus-wide programming expands.
Uphold the standard. Transform the student. Apply now.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour live workshops on essential life skills (public speaking, focus, feedback exchange) for K-8 cohorts, executing Alpha's established playbook rather than creating original content
- Conducting motivation sessions that leverage student analytics and Alpha's incentive architecture (school currency, leaderboards) to achieve 100% goal completion across your cohort
- Developing Guides through targeted coaching on program adherence and standards enforcement, with each session yielding concrete action steps for improvement
- Managing your own student cohort while simultaneously building the capacity of other Guides
- Monitoring student satisfaction scores, goal completion rates, and Guide performance data on a weekly basis to identify underperformance early
What you will NOT be doing
- Teaching or tutoring academic content to students. Academic learning happens through self-directed apps without direct adult instruction.
- Creating curriculum or developing lesson plans independently. The playbook is defined; success is measured by faithful execution, not creative invention.
- Training Guides on instructional methods. Since Guides don't teach, your coaching focuses on energy, motivation, and accountability.
- Accepting 99% as sufficient when 100% is the standard. Maintaining high expectations demonstrates your belief in student capability.
- Serving as the campus "empathy ambassador." Students receive genuine connection here, along with honest feedback and meaningful consequences.
Key responsibilities
Fulfill Alpha's three core commitments to every student in your cohort: they experience joy in school, achieve learning progress at twice the rate of traditional classrooms, and build authentic life skills.
