The most supportive thing you can do for a kid who scored 99% is refuse to call it 100%.
At Alpha, that's not a debate. It's how every day works. Students learn academics through self-guided apps, not from an adult at the front of the room. That frees you to do what actually changes lives: lead high-energy workshops on public speaking, focus, and feedback. Motivate students to hit every learning goal using real-time analytics. Coach the Guides who work alongside you. Your tools are data, a proven playbook, and the kind of presence that makes twelve-year-olds lean in instead of tune out.
Your morning might start with a one-on-one coaching session with a Guide, reviewing Coachbot analytics and identifying where a cohort is falling behind. By midday you're leading a live workshop with students, running a playbook activity on giving and receiving feedback. Afternoons shift to motivation sessions: connecting with individual students, understanding what drives them, and using Alpha's incentive model (school currency, leaderboards) to get a resistant 7th grader back on track. You own a cohort directly, so you stay sharp on the same skills you're coaching others to develop.
You'll be accountable for three outcomes: students love school, they learn at twice the pace of a traditional classroom, and they build real life skills. You'll coach other Guides from day one. As you deliver results at scale, your influence over campus-wide program quality grows.
Hold the standard. Change the student. Apply now.
What you will be doing
- Leading one-hour live workshops on life skills (public speaking, focus, giving and receiving feedback) for K-8 students, following Alpha's playbook
- Running motivation sessions using Coachbot analytics and Alpha's incentive system (school currency, leaderboards) to drive 100% student goal completion
- Coaching Guides on program fidelity and standards enforcement, with every session producing tangible improvement actions
- Maintaining your own student cohort while developing other Guides
- Tracking student satisfaction scores, goal completion rates, and Guide performance metrics
What you will NOT be doing
- Lecturing or tutoring students on academic subjects. Students learn through apps.
- Designing curriculum or lesson plans. Alpha's playbook is your operating system, freeing you to focus on execution and connection.
- Making exceptions when a student scores 99% instead of 100%. Holding the line is how you show them you believe they can get there.
- Coaching Guides on teaching technique. Guides don't teach, so you're coaching energy, motivation, and accountability instead.
