• Leading one-hour life-skills workshops for cohorts of K-2 students on public speaking, focus, feedback, and other durable skills, adapting the playbook to your cohort instead of reading from it.
• Running daily 1:1 and small-group motivation sessions that keep every student on pace for weekly app goals, using Coachbot analytics, Alpha's incentive systems (school currency, leaderboards), and the relationship you've built with each child.
• Administering the Test2Pass, Alpha's mastery-based assessment, for each life skill, and coaching students who do not pass until they do.
• Meeting kindergarteners where they are with songs, stories, movement, and silliness while still holding first and second graders to real, measurable standards.
• Being the warm adult kids light up to see at drop-off AND the adult who refuses to let them coast.

• Lecturing from the whiteboard. Academic instruction lives in the apps, not in you.
• Writing curriculum from scratch. Alpha provides the playbook and you bring it to life.
• Supervising kids at computers. Motivation here is active, personal, and relentless.
• Lowering a weekly goal so a kid can hit it. If a student is behind, the fix is the student, not the target.
• Grading homework, running standardized test prep, or managing parent communication. Campus Leads own parent-facing work, and none of the rest exists here.

Ensure every student in your K-2 cohort hits their weekly learning goals, masters each life skill, and leaves the year saying they loved you.

• Willing to work on-site at an Alpha campus in La Jolla (San Diego), Lake Forest (Orange County), Palo Alto, Piedmont, San Francisco, Santa Monica, or South Bay (LA), CA; Greenwich, CT; Boca Raton, Miami, or Miami Beach, FL; Chicago, IL; or Boston, MA (relocation support provided).
• Bachelor's degree in any subject.
• At least 3 years working directly with children ages 4 to 7 (early-elementary teaching, coaching, tutoring, camp counseling, or youth program leadership).
• A specific example you can describe of motivating a young child to a hard goal: the goal, what you did, and the outcome.
• Willingness to let AI handle the instructional content while you focus on motivation and life-skills coaching.
• Willingness to hold high standards with students even when they push back.
• Legally authorized to work in the US without visa sponsorship.

• Experience in youth athletics coaching, children's theater, camp leadership, Montessori/progressive early education, or after-school programs where you were directly responsible for motivating young kids toward specific goals.
• Personal history of high achievement (academic, athletic, or professional), such that holding others to a hard bar is a pattern, not a posture.
• Natural performer's presence with little kids: the ability to hold a room of kindergarteners through voice, silliness, and movement.
• Track record of turning shy or resistant little kids into confident, active participants.
