2nd Grade Teacher

$100,000 USD/year ^{Pay is set based on global value, not the local market. Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks}  ($50 USD/hour)

• Facilitating one-hour life-skills workshops for groups of 10-15 K-2 students covering public speaking, focus, feedback, and other foundational skills
• Conducting daily individual and small-group motivation sessions that maintain student progress toward weekly app goals, leveraging Coachbot analytics, Alpha's incentive structures (school currency, leaderboards), and the rapport you've established with each child
• Delivering the Test2Pass (Alpha's mastery-based assessment) for each life skill, and providing coaching to students who don't pass until mastery is achieved
• Engaging kindergarteners at their developmental level with songs, stories, movement, and playfulness, while maintaining real, measurable expectations for first and second graders
• Serving as the warm adult children are excited to see at drop-off AND the adult who will not allow them to settle for less than their best

• Delivering whiteboard lectures; academic instruction is embedded in the apps, not delivered by you
• Creating curriculum from the ground up; Alpha supplies the playbook and you execute it
• Simply supervising children at computers; motivation in this role is active, personal, and sustained
• Reducing a weekly goal to make it achievable; when a student falls behind, the solution is supporting the student, not adjusting the target
• Grading homework, conducting standardized test preparation, or handling parent communication; Campus Leads manage parent-facing responsibilities, and the other tasks do not exist in this role

Ensure every student in your K-2 cohort achieves their weekly learning goals, demonstrates mastery of each life skill, and finishes the year reporting they loved you.

• Willing to work on-site at an Alpha campus in Phoenix, AZ; Oklahoma City, OK; Tulsa, OK; Nashville, TN; Austin, TX; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX; or Park City (Salt Lake City), UT (relocation support provided)
• Bachelor's degree in any subject
• At least 3 years working directly with children ages 4 to 8 (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
• Able to attend a paid training program at our Austin, TX campus
• Willingness to let AI handle the instructional content while you focus on motivation and life-skills coaching
• Legally authorized to work in the US without visa sponsorship

• Experience in youth sports coaching, children's theater, camp leadership, Montessori/progressive early education, or after-school programs where you held direct responsibility for motivating young children toward specific goals
• Personal background of high achievement (academic, athletic, or professional), demonstrating that holding others to rigorous standards is consistent behavior, not an adopted stance
• Natural performer's presence with young children—the capacity to command a room of kindergarteners through voice, playfulness, and movement
• Demonstrated success turning hesitant or resistant young children into confident, engaged participants
