• Facilitating one-hour life skill sessions focused on public speaking, sustained attention, teamwork, and feedback skills, adjusting your delivery and energy for Pre-K through 8th grade learners
• Conducting daily individual and small-group coaching conversations where you examine each student's adaptive learning app data (via Coachbot analytics), establish objectives, and ensure they achieve 100% of their weekly benchmarks
• Overseeing and scoring Test2Pass evaluations to verify genuine mastery of each life skill, rather than simple attendance
• Implementing focused interventions when a student's academic progress or engagement declines—identifying underlying issues and creating a path forward
• Cultivating authentic connections with every student so they develop sufficient trust to receive coaching during moments of resistance, distraction, and uncertainty

• Providing traditional academic lectures or direct subject instruction (students master core content through adaptive applications, not instructor-led lessons)
• Developing original lesson plans or designing curriculum (Alpha supplies structured life skills playbooks; your responsibility is executing them with compelling energy and narrative)
• Handling parent communication or administrative tasks (Campus Leads manage these areas; your focus remains on student development)
• Evaluating homework assignments or preparing students for standardized testing (these elements do not exist in this model)
• Operating independently without collaboration (you join a campus team including Lead Guides, Campus Leads, and colleagues who provide mutual feedback and accountability)

Guarantee that every student in your group finds joy in school, achieves mastery of critical life skills, and completes 100% of their academic objectives through adaptive learning technology.

• Bachelor's degree in any discipline.
• 3+ years of direct experience with Pre-K–8 students (in teaching, coaching, counseling, or youth program management roles).
• Demonstrated experience motivating or coaching Pre-K–8 students toward academic, behavioral, athletic, or extracurricular objectives, with at least one concrete example you can articulate (including the objective, your actions, and the result).
• Comfort with a coaching-focused model where academic content delivery is fully managed by the learning platform. Your function is motivation and guidance, not core subject instruction.
• Regular use of generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude).
• Able to work on-site at Alpha's Springfield, MA campus (relocation assistance provided).
• Authorization to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship.

• Background in youth sports coaching, camp facilitation, or after-school programming where you held direct responsibility for driving children toward concrete goals.
• History of significant personal accomplishment (academic distinctions, competitive sports participation, or leadership positions requiring consistent excellence).
• Instinctive storytelling skills: you can maintain the attention of Pre-K–8 students for an hour without volume escalation.
• Success engaging disengaged or reluctant students and converting them into active contributors.
• Experience supporting students who receive special education services.
