The most meaningful way to support a student who reached 99% of their target is to refuse to accept it as complete. If this expectation feels uncomfortable, this position may not align with your approach. If it energizes you—because you understand that maintaining high standards demonstrates your belief in a student's capability—continue reading.
Alpha operates differently from conventional schools. Students complete a full day's worth of academics in approximately two hours using adaptive software. No traditional lectures. No standard textbooks. Your role centers on what technology cannot replicate: guiding young people through essential life skills such as public speaking, concentration, and feedback exchange. You'll facilitate interactive workshops, drive students toward achieving their learning targets, and cultivate relationships that transform a reserved 4th grader into someone who presents with confidence before adult audiences.
This position grows over time. During your first year, you'll manage a small student cohort and become fluent in Alpha's framework: life skill workshops, motivation sessions, and mastery-based assessments. Once you demonstrate the ability to hold every student accountable to 100% goal completion while maintaining satisfaction scores above 90%, advancement to Lead Guide becomes available—a role where you'll mentor a team while continuing direct student engagement. Top performers in this position don't merely impact individual students; they influence entire campus cultures.
Traditional schools don't offer this opportunity. If you've been coaching, counseling, or mentoring young people and wishing you could eliminate instructional teaching to focus purely on their development, this is the role.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour life skill workshops for K-12 students covering subjects like public speaking, concentration, time management, and feedback dynamics (activity-driven and project-oriented, never lecture-based)
- Conducting daily motivation sessions where you engage individual students, assess their progress through adaptive learning platforms (leveraging Coachbot analytics), and challenge them to achieve 100% of their weekly targets
- Organizing and executing mastery-based assessments (Test2Pass) to verify students have genuinely acquired each skill, not simply attended
- Establishing authentic connections with each student so they trust you sufficiently to receive coaching through obstacles, distractions, and uncertainty
- Monitoring student advancement against satisfaction metrics and goal completion rates, modifying your methods when outcomes don't meet expectations
What you will NOT be doing
- Presenting lectures to a classroom or providing conventional academic instruction (students absorb core subjects through independent adaptive applications, not from you)
- Creating lesson plans from the ground up (Alpha supplies a life skills curriculum and structured playbooks; your responsibility is to animate them with enthusiasm and narrative)
- Handling parent communications or administrative duties (Campus Leads oversee those areas; you remain concentrated on your students)
- Evaluating homework or coordinating standardized test preparation (these elements don't exist here)
- Operating independently (you're integrated into a campus team with Lead Guides, Campus Leads, and colleagues who exchange feedback and maintain mutual accountability)
Key responsibilities
Guarantee that every student in your cohort develops enthusiasm for school, achieves proficiency in critical life skills, and completes 100% of their academic objectives through adaptive learning software.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any discipline
- 3+ years of direct experience working with K-8 students (teaching, coaching, counseling, or youth program management)
- Commitment to on-site work at an Alpha campus in Denver, CO; Atlanta, GA; Nashville, TN; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX; or Park City, UT (relocation assistance available)
- Capacity to participate in a paid training program at Alpha's Austin, TX campus
- Legal authorization to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Background in youth development: sports coaching, camp leadership, or youth program roles where you held direct accountability for motivating children toward defined objectives
- Demonstrated history of personal excellence (academic distinctions, competitive athletics, or leadership positions requiring consistent high performance)
- Innate storytelling capability: you can maintain the attention of a group of 12-year-olds for an hour without elevating your voice
- Prior success motivating disinterested or reluctant students and converting them into engaged contributors
