The most meaningful support you can offer a student who reaches 99% of their target is to refuse to accept it as complete. If that principle makes you uneasy, this position is not the right fit. 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 roughly two hours using adaptive software. No traditional lectures. No textbooks. Your role centers on what technology cannot replicate: guiding young people through essential life skills such as public speaking, concentration, and constructive 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 with you. During your first year, you'll manage a small student cohort and become fluent in Alpha's methodology: life skill workshops, motivation coaching, mastery-based evaluations. 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 remaining directly engaged with students. Top performers in this role don't simply transform individual trajectories; they influence entire campus cultures.
Traditional schools don't offer this opportunity. If you've been coaching, counseling, or mentoring young people and wish you could eliminate instructional teaching to focus purely on development, this is that opportunity.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour life skill workshops for K-12 students covering topics like public speaking, focus, time management, and feedback exchange (interactive and project-driven, never lecture-based)
- Conducting daily motivation sessions where you engage with individual students, analyze their performance in adaptive learning platforms (via Coachbot analytics), and challenge them to reach 100% of their weekly targets
- Organizing and overseeing mastery-based assessments (Test2Pass) to verify students have genuinely mastered each skill, not simply attended
- Developing authentic relationships with each student so they trust your coaching through moments of resistance, distraction, and uncertainty
- Monitoring student progress using satisfaction scores and goal achievement metrics, refining your methods when outcomes don't meet expectations
What you will NOT be doing
- Standing at the front of a classroom delivering traditional academic instruction (students complete core subjects through self-directed adaptive applications, not through you)
- Creating lesson plans from the ground up (Alpha supplies a life skills curriculum and playbooks; your responsibility is to execute them with enthusiasm and narrative skill)
- Handling parent communications or school administrative tasks (Campus Leads manage those functions; you remain concentrated on your students)
- Evaluating homework or overseeing standardized test preparation (these don't exist in this environment)
- Operating independently (you're embedded in 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 in critical life skills, and completes 100% of their academic objectives through adaptive learning technology.
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)
- Willingness to work on-site at an Alpha campus in Denver, CO; Atlanta, GA; Nashville, TN; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX; or Park City, UT (relocation assistance available)
- Availability 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: athletic coaching, camp leadership, or youth program roles where you held direct accountability for motivating children to achieve defined goals
- History of personal high achievement (academic distinctions, competitive athletics, or leadership positions requiring sustained excellence)
- Innate storytelling capability: you can capture and maintain the attention of a room filled with 12-year-olds for an hour without increasing your volume
- Proven ability to motivate disengaged or reluctant students and convert them into active contributors
