The best thing you can do for a student who achieved 99% is to tell them it's not a pass. If that statement made you uncomfortable, this role isn't for you. If you nodded in agreement, continue reading.
Alpha students complete their academic learning in two hours daily using AI-driven, self-directed applications. No traditional teachers. No lectures. No managing classroom content delivery. This structure enables you to focus on what truly shifts outcomes: facilitating high-impact workshops on public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback; driving students toward complete goal attainment using live analytics; and developing the Guides who support you in this work.
A typical morning may begin with individual Guide coaching, analyzing performance metrics and pinpointing cohort gaps. Mid-morning transitions to facilitating student workshops, implementing structured playbook exercises on feedback exchange. Your afternoons center on motivation work: one-on-one student connections, uncovering individual drivers, and leveraging Alpha's incentive framework to re-engage a struggling middle schooler. You maintain direct responsibility for your own cohort, ensuring you remain proficient in the capabilities you're training others to build.
You've likely been the outlier in educational environments: excessively metric-oriented, overly outcome-focused, too ready to question conventional student development approaches. Alpha may be the first environment that aligns with your perspective. You'll begin coaching Guides immediately, and as you generate measurable impact, your authority over campus-wide programming standards expands.
Uphold the benchmark. Transform the learner. Submit your application.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating structured one-hour life skills workshops (public speaking, concentration, feedback processes) for K-8 student cohorts, executing Alpha's established playbook rather than creating independent content
- Conducting motivation interventions using live student data and Alpha's reward infrastructure (campus currency, performance rankings) to achieve 100% goal attainment across your cohort
- Developing Guides in program adherence and standards maintenance, ensuring each coaching interaction yields specific performance improvements
- Managing your personal student cohort concurrently with Guide development responsibilities
- Monitoring student engagement metrics, completion percentages, and Guide effectiveness indicators weekly to identify performance decline before escalation
What you will NOT be doing
- Providing academic instruction or subject tutoring. Students progress through self-directed applications independently of adult supervision.
- Creating original curriculum or developing custom lesson frameworks. The playbook is established; success requires precise execution, not innovation.
- Training Guides in instructional methodology. Guides don't deliver traditional instruction, so your coaching addresses motivation, energy management, and accountability systems instead.
- Accepting 99% performance as sufficient when the target is 100%. Maintaining standards demonstrates your confidence in student capability.
- Serving as the campus emotional support figure. Students receive genuine connection alongside transparent feedback and meaningful accountability.
Key responsibilities
Fulfill Alpha's three core commitments to each student in your cohort: they develop genuine enthusiasm for school, achieve learning velocity double that of conventional classrooms, and acquire substantive life competencies.
