The most meaningful way to support a student who reached 99% of their target is to insist it's not finished. If that expectation troubles you, this position won't be a fit. If it energizes you—because you understand that maintaining high standards demonstrates your belief in a student's capacity—continue reading.
Alpha operates differently from conventional schools. Students complete a full day's worth of academics in roughly two hours using adaptive software. No lectures. No textbooks. Your role covers what technology cannot: guiding young people through life skills such as public speaking, concentration, and feedback exchange. You'll facilitate interactive workshops, inspire students to exceed 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 internalize Alpha's framework: life skill workshops, motivational coaching, mastery-based evaluation. Once you demonstrate the ability to hold every student accountable to 100% goal achievement while maintaining satisfaction scores above 90%, opportunities emerge to advance to Lead Guide, where you'll mentor a team while remaining directly involved with students. The most effective people in this role don't merely impact individual trajectories; they influence how an entire campus functions.
Traditional schools don't offer this. If you've been coaching, counseling, or mentoring young people and want to move beyond instructional teaching to focus on genuine development, this is your opportunity.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour life skill workshops for K-12 students covering topics such as public speaking, concentration, time management, and feedback skills (interactive and project-driven, never lecture-based)
- Conducting daily motivational sessions where you engage with 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 validate that students have genuinely acquired each skill, not simply attended
- Establishing authentic connections with each student so they trust your guidance through challenges like resistance, distraction, and uncertainty
- Monitoring student advancement using satisfaction scores and goal attainment metrics, refining your methods when outcomes don't meet expectations
What you will NOT be doing
- Presenting lectures to a classroom or providing traditional academic instruction (students engage with core subjects via self-directed adaptive applications, not through you)
- Creating lesson plans from the ground up (Alpha supplies a life skills curriculum and implementation guides; your responsibility is to animate them with enthusiasm and narrative)
- Handling parent communications or school operations (Campus Leads manage those areas; you concentrate on your students)
- Assessing homework or coordinating standardized test preparation (neither exists in this environment)
- Operating independently (you're integrated into a campus team alongside Lead Guides, Campus Leads, and colleagues who exchange feedback and maintain mutual accountability)
Key responsibilities
Guarantee that every student in your cohort develops a love for school, achieves mastery of critical life skills, and reaches 100% of their academic objectives through adaptive learning software.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any field
- 3+ years of experience working directly with K-8 students (teaching, coaching, counseling, or youth program leadership)
- Willingness to work in-person at an Alpha campus in Denver, CO; Atlanta, GA; Nashville, TN; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX; or Park City, UT (relocation support provided)
- Ability to attend a paid training program at Alpha's Austin, TX campus
- Legal authorization to work in the United States without visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Background in youth development: athletic coaching, camp leadership, or youth program roles where you held direct accountability for motivating children toward specific objectives
- History of notable personal accomplishment (academic distinctions, competitive sports, or leadership positions requiring consistent excellence)
- Innate storytelling capacity: you can maintain the attention of a room full of 12-year-olds for an hour without increasing volume
- Success motivating disengaged or reluctant students and converting them into engaged contributors
