Kindergarten 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 cohorts of 10-15 students in grades K-2, covering public speaking, focus, feedback, and other foundational skills
• Conducting daily individual and small-group coaching sessions that maintain student progress toward weekly app goals, leveraging Coachbot analytics, Alpha's incentive structures (school currency, leaderboards), and the personal connection you've established with each child
• Delivering the Test2Pass (Alpha's mastery-based assessment) for each life skill, and providing targeted coaching to students until they achieve passing scores
• Engaging kindergarteners at their developmental level using songs, stories, movement, and humor, while simultaneously holding first and second graders accountable to concrete, measurable outcomes
• Serving as the warm, welcoming adult children are excited to see at morning drop-off AND the adult who will not permit them to settle for less than their best

• Delivering lectures at the whiteboard; academic content is delivered through the apps, not through direct instruction
• Developing curriculum independently; Alpha supplies the operational framework and you execute it effectively
• Passively monitoring children at computer stations; motivation in this model is active, individualized, and continuous
• Reducing a weekly target so a child can reach it; when a student falls behind, the solution is supporting the student, not adjusting the goal
• Grading take-home assignments, administering standardized test preparation, or handling parent communications; Campus Leads manage family-facing responsibilities, and the other tasks do not exist in this model

Guarantee that every student in your K-2 cohort achieves their weekly learning targets, demonstrates mastery of each life skill, and concludes 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

• Background in youth athletics coaching, children's theater, camp leadership, Montessori/progressive early education, or after-school programs where you held direct accountability for motivating young children toward defined objectives
• Demonstrated personal history of high achievement (academic, athletic, or professional), indicating that holding others to rigorous standards is inherent to your approach, not performative
• Natural performer's presence with young children—the capacity to command a room of kindergarteners through vocal expression, humor, and physical movement
• Proven ability to transform shy or reluctant young children into confident, engaged participants
