Description
- On-site role in Houston, TX — campuses located in Central Houston, South Houston, or The Woodlands (relocation assistance available)
- $100,000 annual salary, distributed weekly. Full health, dental, and vision coverage begins day one
The most meaningful support you can give a student who reaches 99% of their target is to insist they finish the final percent. If that approach feels too rigid, this position won't be a fit. If it resonates because you understand that maintaining high standards demonstrates belief in a student's capability, continue reading.
Alpha operates differently from conventional schools. Students complete a full academic day's work in roughly two hours using adaptive technology. No traditional lectures. No physical textbooks. Your role addresses what technology cannot: developing life competencies in Pre-K through 8th grade students—public speaking, concentration, feedback exchange. You'll spend half your time facilitating hands-on workshops guided by structured frameworks and narrative techniques. The remaining time involves one-on-one or small-group sessions where you examine student advancement through adaptive platforms via Coachbot analytics, challenging them to achieve 100% of weekly objectives. Mastery is validated through Test2Pass assessments, not participation metrics.
During your first year, you'll manage a student cohort and internalize Alpha's methodology: life competency workshops, motivational coaching, mastery-validated assessments. Once you demonstrate consistent ability to guide every student toward 100% goal completion while maintaining satisfaction ratings above 90%, advancement opportunities emerge to Lead Guide—where you mentor fellow Guides while remaining actively engaged with students. Top performers don't merely impact individual trajectories; they influence campus-wide culture and operations.
If your background includes years of coaching, counseling, or mentoring youth and you've longed to step away from traditional instruction to concentrate on genuine development, this represents that opportunity.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour life competency workshops for Pre-K–8 students covering public speaking, concentration, teamwork, and feedback skills (experiential and project-oriented)
- Conducting daily one-on-one and small-group motivational sessions to review individual student advancement in adaptive learning platforms (leveraging Coachbot analytics), establish objectives, and drive them toward 100% weekly target completion
- Administering and assessing Test2Pass evaluations to verify genuine mastery of each life skill beyond simple participation
- Adjusting your coaching approach across diverse age groups, from Pre-K learners requiring high energy and physical activity to 8th graders needing direct conversation and accountability
- Cultivating authentic connections with each student so they trust you sufficiently to receive coaching through resistance, distraction, and uncertainty
What you will NOT be doing
- Delivering lectures or conventional academic instruction (core subjects are learned through adaptive applications, not direct teaching)
- Creating lesson plans or curriculum materials independently (Alpha supplies life skills frameworks; your responsibility is animating them through energy and narrative)
- Handling parent communications or administrative duties (Campus Leads manage those functions; you remain focused on students)
- Evaluating homework or preparing students for standardized tests (these elements don't exist in this environment)
- Operating independently (you function within a campus team including Lead Guides, Campus Leads, and colleagues who exchange feedback and mutual accountability)
Key responsibilities
Guarantee that every student in your cohort develops enthusiasm for school, achieves mastery of critical life skills, and completes 100% of their academic objectives through adaptive learning technology.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any discipline
- 3+ years of direct experience with Pre-K–8 students (in teaching, coaching, counseling, or youth program management)
- Documented experience motivating or coaching Pre-K–8 students toward academic, behavioral, or extracurricular objectives, with at least one concrete example you can articulate (including the objective, your actions, and the result)
- Regular use of generative AI platforms (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)
- Availability to work on-site at Alpha's Central Houston, South Houston, or The Woodlands campus (relocation assistance provided)
- Authorization to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Background in youth sports coaching, camp leadership, or after-school programming where you held direct responsibility for motivating children toward specific objectives
- History of significant personal achievement (academic distinctions, competitive athletics, or leadership positions demanding sustained excellence)
- Innate storytelling capability: you can maintain the attention of a room full of 12-year-olds for an hour without voice escalation
- Success motivating disengaged or reluctant students and converting them into engaged participants
