The most helpful response to a struggling 8-year-old is maintaining high expectations. If this principle unsettles you, this position is not the right fit. If it resonates, continue reading.
Alpha has dismantled conventional instruction models. Academic learning happens through adaptive applications that allow students to progress independently. No traditional lectures. No grade-based limitations. What remains—and proves most critical—is what technology cannot provide: life skills development, student motivation, and an adult committed to holding every learner to standards beyond what they believed possible. This is your domain.
A typical morning may involve coaching a Guide through their Coachbot data, identifying where a student group is falling behind. Midday brings live workshop sessions with K-8 learners, executing playbook activities focused on public speaking or feedback skills. Afternoons transition to motivational work: reviewing individual student progress, implementing Alpha's incentive framework (campus currency, performance rankings), and re-engaging a resistant 7th grader. The split is forty percent workshop delivery, thirty percent motivation work, thirty percent Guide coaching. You maintain your own student cohort throughout, ensuring your coaching remains rooted in direct practice.
You have likely been told you prioritize outcomes too heavily for the education sector. That you rely too much on data. That you enforce boundaries that make colleagues uneasy. Alpha was designed for precisely this profile. You demonstrate the model's effectiveness with your own students, elevate the Guides (Alpha's version of teachers) to match this standard, and as you produce results, your authority over campus-wide program quality expands.
Maintain the standard. Transform the student. Submit your application today.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour live workshops focused on life skills (public speaking, concentration, feedback exchange) for K-8 students using Alpha's established playbook
- Conducting motivational sessions leveraging Coachbot analytics and Alpha's incentive architecture (campus currency, performance rankings) to achieve 100% student goal attainment
- Coaching Guides on program adherence and standards maintenance, ensuring each session yields actionable improvement steps
- Carrying your own student cohort to keep your coaching anchored in direct, current experience
- Monitoring student satisfaction metrics, goal completion percentages, and Guide performance indicators weekly to identify underperformance promptly
What you will NOT be doing
- Instructing math, literacy, or any academic content — adaptive technology manages all academic teaching
- Developing curriculum or designing workshop content (Alpha's playbook serves as your framework; excellence lies in execution)
- Coaching Guides on instructional methods (Guides do not teach — you coach engagement, motivation, and accountability)
- Overseeing campus operations, financial management, or administrative tasks
- Lowering standards when a student approaches but has not met the benchmark (standards remain constant; your role is enabling them to reach it)
Key responsibilities
Fulfill Alpha's three core commitments to every student: cultivating love of school, achieving learning at twice the conventional rate, and developing practical life skills.
Candidate requirements
- On-site presence in Toronto, Canada (remote or hybrid arrangements not available)

- Minimum 5 years of experience in education, learning and development, coaching, or related fields
- Leadership experience managing a team of 5 or more individuals, including hiring and performance-based termination decisions
- Hands-on experience working with youth ages 5-14 in educational or developmental contexts
- Track record of building, launching, or substantially expanding a program, team, school, or initiative — not merely sustaining existing structures
- Comfort operating in a school environment that deliberately rejects conventional educational approaches
- Legal work authorization in Canada
Nice to have
- Master's degree in Education, Psychology, Organizational Leadership, or related discipline
- Experience coaching athletics, leading experiential programs, directing camps, or managing youth programs at scale with measurable outcomes
- Career transition from classroom teaching to program development or leadership in alternative contexts (EdTech, tutoring enterprises, youth nonprofits, school intervention initiatives)
- Background using learning analytics platforms to inform weekly coaching strategies
- Conviction that the existing education system is fundamentally flawed and personal commitment to reconstructing it
