Description
- On-site position in Dorado, Puerto Rico
- $150,000 annual salary, distributed weekly
If you have moved beyond conventional education and will not compromise standards for comfort, this role will stand apart. You will guide students and adults toward ambitious goals, relying on metrics and explicit benchmarks—not traditional instruction and prepared lessons.
Alpha School is developing an AI-driven model in which students complete core academics in only two hours per day, then dedicate afternoons to developing practical life competencies. Our commitment is clear and rigorous: students love school, learn at 2× the rate of peers, and develop life skills. This position ensures that commitment is fulfilled for every K–8 student at our Dorado location.
You will remain directly involved. You will deliver one-hour life skills workshops, facilitate structured sessions that drive student progress in academic applications, and coach Guides through direct observation, actionable feedback, and concrete next steps. This is neither a conventional teaching position nor a passive leadership assignment. You will be held accountable for results, adherence to established protocols, and maintaining uncompromising standards.
If you are prepared to lead by example and cultivate a campus culture where outcomes are achieved through rigor, submit your application and demonstrate how you maintain high standards without exception.
What you will be doing
- Deliver one-hour life skills workshops for K–8 students by preparing and executing sessions precisely according to established playbooks
- Facilitate structured motivation sessions designed to drive student advancement in academic applications and goal achievement
- Observe Guides during instruction and provide standards-based coaching with actionable improvement steps and consistent follow-up
- Apply objective, metrics-informed judgment to maintain mastery standards, even when challenging
- Work daily with campus personnel to ensure reliable execution of Alpha's 3 Promises
What you will NOT be doing
- Deliver or tutor academic material using traditional classroom methods
- Develop lesson plans or create curriculum
- Deviate from established playbooks or improvise workshop content
- Compromise mastery standards or adjust goals to create artificial success
- Operate from behind a desk managing administrative tasks while others engage directly with students
Key responsibilities
Ensure that every K–8 student at Alpha's Dorado campus reliably experiences Alpha's 3 Promises: they love school, learn at 2× the speed of peers, and build life skills.
