Description
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a full-time, on-site position located at our Austin, Texas campus.
Are you ready to lead a groundbreaking shift in early childhood education, steering a course of innovation and excellence? Alpha School in Austin is on the hunt for a visionary leader to inspire young minds and elevate a team of Guides to unprecedented heights.
Imagine yourself not just as a coach for Olympic athletes, but as a champion who consistently achieves perfect scores. That's the level of expertise and adaptability we are seeking. You'll divide your time between guiding a cohort of K-2 students and coaching a team of Guides, our dedicated professionals who motivate and inspire children, upholding the highest standards for both groups.
Our 2-Hour Learning program combines AI-driven adaptive technology with hands-on guidance to provide a uniquely personalized educational experience. You'll be the cornerstone of this system, equally proficient at engaging a 5-year-old in foundational literacy and coaching an adult Guide in advanced facilitation techniques.
At Alpha, we don't just challenge the status quo—we redefine it. If you can effortlessly transition from constructing LEGOs with kindergarteners to conducting data-driven performance reviews with your team, we want you. Your ability to inspire, motivate, and elevate both children and adults will be the driving force for transforming education from the ground up.
You'll also take on the most challenging cohort of K-2 students—those who push our boundaries in various ways. This could include exceptionally advanced learners we're striving to challenge, fiercely independent spirits we're guiding towards teamwork, or students struggling to engage with our computer-based approach. Your role is to connect these students' academic goals with their unique motivations, setting the gold standard for personalized learning.
Don't just dream of a better educational system—help us build it. Apply now and be part of the team that's writing the next chapter in learning. At Alpha, we're not just preparing students for the future; we're creating it. Are you ready to join us?

- Deliver actionable feedback to your team of Guides, fostering continuous improvement in student engagement and achievement.
- Leverage AI-driven tools to enhance educational outcomes, bridging the gap between technology and the human touch for our youngest learners.
What you will NOT be doing

- Accepting mediocrity from students or Guides—you'll uphold sky-high standards across the board.
- Relying on outdated teaching methods—you'll pioneer new approaches that blend technology with traditional pedagogical practices.
- Shying away from challenges—you'll tackle the complexities of early childhood education and team leadership with equal vigor.

Lead the development of independent learning and life skills for K-2 students, particularly those presenting unique challenges, while simultaneously enhancing a team of Guides to implement the Alpha system with world-class excellence.
