The most constructive response to a student who achieves 99% is to withhold calling it 100%. Not out of indifference — but because you know they can reach it, and lowering expectations is the actual disservice. If that reasoning resonates, continue reading. If it feels overly strict, this position will likely frustrate you.
Alpha students don't passively absorb lectures. They advance through adaptive applications at double the speed of conventional classrooms while simultaneously developing practical life competencies. Your role ensures three commitments are realized for every child in your group: they enjoy school, they accelerate learning by 2x, and they gain capabilities no traditional curriculum provides. You will also mentor the Guides who uphold these commitments throughout your campus.
Data informs every choice and every interaction is in-person. You divide your time between directly managing your own student group and coaching the Guides under your leadership — and the expectation remains consistent: documented growth, without compromise. When a Guide's session underperforms, you don't generate documentation; you observe, discuss, and resolve it by day's end.
You will witness reserved children presenting with confidence to adults. You will see a student who previously "despised school" request to remain after hours. And you will recognize that the standard you maintained is precisely what enabled their success, because upholding expectations is how you demonstrate belief in someone's potential.
You may be establishing a brand-new campus from the ground up, setting the foundational culture that will characterize the school. As the site matures, your emphasis transitions from operational startup mode to coaching leadership, cultivating the team that expands Alpha's approach across your territory.
If that opportunity appeals to you, submit your application now.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour live workshops focused on life skills and social-emotional learning (SEL) for K-8 students, covering areas such as public speaking and concentration, using Alpha's established framework
- Conducting daily motivational sessions that ensure 100% of students reach their weekly application-based goals through age-appropriate mechanisms like school currency systems and leaderboards
- Developing Guides via direct observation, specific feedback, and practical training so they facilitate workshops with equivalent energy and accuracy
- Analyzing Coachbot data and individual student records to pinpoint those requiring intervention, then providing direct support
- Personally mentoring your assigned student cohort, demonstrating the coaching and motivational techniques you require from all Guides
What you will NOT be doing
- Creating lesson plans or developing curriculum. Students progress through adaptive applications; your responsibility is making the people supporting them exceptional.
- Delivering traditional classroom lectures. You function as 80% entertainer, 20% content expert; if you prefer standing at a whiteboard, this role isn't suitable.
- Compromising standards due to pressure from parents or school administration. When a student achieves 99%, the response is "not yet" — and you will receive full support to maintain that position.
- Working from an office reviewing administrative documents. The majority of your time involves direct engagement with students and Guides.
- Waiting extended periods for performance evaluation. Outcomes are visible in real-time through Coachbot and adjustments occur immediately.
Key responsibilities
Execute Alpha's 3 Promises across both your student cohort and the Guides under your leadership: every child enjoys school, accelerates learning at 2x traditional pace, and develops genuine life competencies.
Candidate requirements
