The most constructive response to a student who achieves 99% is to acknowledge it isn't yet 100%. Not out of indifference — but from the conviction that they can reach it, and that lowering expectations is the actual disservice. If this reasoning resonates, continue reading. If it feels overly strict, this position will likely not suit you.
Students at Alpha don't passively absorb lectures. They advance through adaptive applications at double the speed of conventional classrooms while simultaneously developing practical life competencies. Your responsibility is ensuring three commitments are fulfilled for every child in your group: they enjoy learning, they progress at 2x velocity, and they acquire capabilities beyond what traditional curricula provide. You will also develop the Guides who uphold these same commitments throughout your campus.
All decisions are grounded in data, and all interactions are conducted in person. You divide your time between your personal student cohort and the Guides under your leadership — the expectation remains consistent for both: documented advancement, without exception. When a Guide's session underperforms, you don't draft a memo; you observe directly, debrief immediately, and resolve it that same afternoon.
You'll witness reserved children presenting with poise to adults. You'll observe a student who once "despised school" requesting to remain after hours. And you'll recognize that the standard you maintained is precisely what enabled their transformation, because upholding rigorous expectations demonstrates genuine belief in someone's potential.
You may be establishing a new campus from the ground up, creating the foundational culture that will characterize the institution. As the campus develops, your role evolves from operational founder to coaching executive, cultivating the team that expands Alpha's approach throughout your territory.
If this opportunity appeals to you, submit your application now.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour interactive life skills and social-emotional learning (SEL) sessions with students in grades K-8 on subjects including public speaking and concentration, adhering to Alpha's established framework
- Conducting daily motivation sessions designed to ensure 100% of students achieve their weekly application targets through age-appropriate mechanisms such as school currency systems and leaderboards
- Developing Guides via direct observation, focused feedback, and practical training so they execute workshops with equivalent enthusiasm and accuracy
- Analyzing Coachbot data and individual student records to determine who requires support, then providing direct intervention
- Personally guiding your designated cohort of students, demonstrating the coaching and motivational approaches you require from all Guides
What you will NOT be doing
- Creating lesson plans or developing curriculum. Students engage with adaptive applications; your function is to elevate the people supporting them.
- Delivering lectures at the front of a classroom. You operate as 80% facilitator, 20% content expert; if traditional teaching appeals to you, this role is not the fit.
- Compromising standards due to pressure from parents or school leadership. When a student achieves 99%, the response remains "not yet" — and you will have institutional support to maintain that boundary.
- Spending time at a desk processing administrative documents. The majority of your workday involves direct interaction 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 throughout your cohort and among the Guides you develop: every student enjoys school, advances at 2x speed, and develops genuine life skills.
