The kindest thing you can do for a student who achieved 99% is to withhold the 100%. If that statement unsettles you, this role isn't for you. If it resonates, continue reading.
Students at Alpha don't passively attend lectures. They accelerate through adaptive applications, absorb content at double the rate of conventional classrooms, and develop practical life competencies in the process. Your responsibility is to ensure three commitments are met for every child in your cohort: they develop a love for school, they learn twice as fast, and they acquire skills that extend beyond any textbook. You will also develop the Guides who deliver these same commitments throughout your campus.
You begin each morning with data. Analytics reveal which students are progressing and which require additional support. By mid-morning, you're facilitating a live workshop—guiding a group of K-8 students through public speaking or focus-building exercises using Alpha's structured approach. Post-lunch, you observe a Guide's session, then provide them with three concrete actions to refine their execution. On certain days, you serve as the motivational catalyst in a team huddle, transforming leaderboard contests into momentum. You remain directly engaged with your own student cohort while simultaneously cultivating Guides who can meet your benchmark—and as they rise to that level, your influence scales from one cohort to an entire campus.
You will witness reserved children present with confidence to adults. You will see a student who once "despised school" request to remain after hours. And you will understand that the standard you maintained is precisely what enabled their transformation—because upholding the bar is how you demonstrate belief in someone's capacity to exceed it.
If you have broken records, transformed underperformers into high achievers, and are prepared to do the same for children: apply immediately.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour live workshops with K-8 students on life competencies such as public speaking, concentration, and feedback exchange, utilizing Alpha's structured playbook
- Developing Guides through direct observation, precise feedback, and practical coaching so they execute workshops with equivalent energy and accuracy
- Conducting daily motivational sessions that ensure 100% of students reach their weekly learning targets using developmentally appropriate incentives including school currency and leaderboards
- Analyzing Coachbot analytics and student data to pinpoint individuals requiring intervention, then delivering that intervention personally
- Directly mentoring your own small student cohort, demonstrating the coaching and motivational techniques you require from every Guide
What you will NOT be doing
- Creating lesson plans or building curriculum. Students progress through adaptive applications; your focus is elevating the people who support them.
- Delivering traditional lectures. You're 80% performer, 20% content expert; if you prefer standing at a whiteboard, this role isn't aligned.
- Accepting "close enough" from a student. 100% mastery is the standard, and reducing it is not compassion.
- Spending your day in an office handling administrative tasks. The majority of your time is spent directly engaging with students and Guides.
Key responsibilities
Execute Alpha's 3 Promises: every child loves school, learns at 2x pace, and masters life skills—across your cohort and the cohorts managed by your Guides.
