Early Childhood Educator

$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 transferable skills
• Conducting daily individual and small-group motivation sessions to keep students on track for weekly app targets, leveraging Coachbot analytics, Alpha's incentive structures (school currency, leaderboards), and the personal connection you have established with each child
• Delivering the Test2Pass (Alpha's mastery-based evaluation) for each life skill, and providing coaching to students who do not pass until they achieve mastery
• Engaging kindergarteners at their developmental level through songs, stories, movement, and playfulness, while maintaining real, quantifiable 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

• Delivering lectures from the whiteboard; academic content is delivered through the apps, not by you
• Developing curriculum independently; Alpha supplies the operational framework and you execute it
• Passively monitoring kids at computers; motivation in this role is active, individualized, and continuous
• Reducing a weekly target so a child can meet it; when a student falls behind, the solution is supporting the student, not adjusting the goal
• Grading homework, conducting standardized test preparation, or handling parent outreach; Campus Leads manage parent-facing responsibilities, and the rest 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 finishes the year saying 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
• Minimum of 3 years working directly with children ages 4 to 8 (early-elementary teaching, coaching, tutoring, camp counseling, or youth program leadership)
• A concrete example you can articulate of motivating a young child toward a challenging goal: the objective, your approach, and the result
• Able to attend a paid training program at our Austin, TX campus
• Willingness to allow AI to deliver instructional content while you concentrate 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 defined objectives
• Personal background of high achievement (academic, athletic, or professional), such that holding others to rigorous standards is ingrained, not performative
• Natural performer's energy with young children — the capacity to command a room of kindergarteners through voice, playfulness, and physical engagement
• History of transforming shy or reluctant young children into confident, engaged participants
