The most meaningful support you can offer a student who achieves 99% is to withhold calling it 100%. Not from lack of care — but because you know they're capable of reaching it, and lowering expectations is the true disservice. If this reasoning resonates with you, continue reading. If it feels overly strict, this position will not be a good fit.
Students at Alpha don't passively absorb lectures. They advance through adaptive applications at double the speed of conventional classrooms while developing practical life competencies. Your responsibility is ensuring three core commitments are realized for every student in your cohort: they develop a genuine love for learning, they progress at 2x velocity, and they acquire capabilities no traditional curriculum provides. You will also develop the Guides who fulfill these commitments throughout your campus.
All decisions are informed by data, and every interaction is conducted in person. Your time divides between your own student cohort and the Guides under your leadership — with identical expectations for both: trackable advancement, without compromise. When a Guide's session underperforms, you don't draft documentation; you observe directly, debrief immediately, and resolve it that same day.
You'll witness reserved students presenting with poise to adult audiences. You'll encounter a learner who previously "despised school" requesting extra time on campus. And you'll understand that the standards you maintained are precisely what enabled their transformation, because upholding high expectations demonstrates your belief in their potential.
You may be establishing a completely new campus from the ground up, setting the foundational culture that will characterize the institution. As operations mature, your role evolves from hands-on builder to coaching architect, cultivating the team that expands Alpha's approach throughout your territory.

What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour interactive life skills and social-emotional learning (SEL) sessions with K-8 learners covering subjects like public speaking and concentration, using Alpha's established framework
- Conducting daily engagement sessions that ensure 100% of learners achieve their weekly app targets through age-appropriate motivators including school currency and performance tracking
- Developing Guides via direct observation, precise feedback, and practical coaching so they execute sessions with equivalent energy and accuracy
- Analyzing Coachbot metrics and learner data to pinpoint students requiring support, then providing direct intervention
- Personally mentoring your assigned student cohort, demonstrating the coaching and engagement techniques you require from all Guides
What you will NOT be doing
- Creating lesson plans or developing curriculum. Academic content is delivered via adaptive applications; your focus is elevating the people who support students.
- Delivering traditional lectures to a classroom. You're primarily a facilitator and motivator; if you prefer standing at a whiteboard, this role isn't the right match.
- Compromising standards due to external pressure from families or leadership. When a student achieves 99%, the response is "not yet" — and you'll have institutional support to maintain that boundary.
- Spending time in an office managing administrative tasks. The majority of your day involves direct engagement with students and Guides.
- Waiting extended periods for performance assessment. Data is accessible in real-time through Coachbot, and adjustments are made immediately.
Key responsibilities
Execute Alpha's 3 Promises for your cohort and the Guides under your leadership: every student loves school, progresses at 2x speed, and develops tangible life competencies.
