Description
- On-site: Brownsville, TX (relocation support provided)
- $100,000 annually
- Full-time, 40 hours per week
You've built your career coaching young people — not lecturing them. You understand the distinction: coaching means building connection, setting high expectations, and refusing to accept anything less than a student's best effort. Teaching means delivering curriculum. You've never been a curriculum delivery system.
Alpha operates one of the most unconventional schools in existence. Students don't sit in traditional rows listening to lectures — they progress through AI-driven learning applications at their own speed. Your role isn't explaining mathematical concepts. It's facilitating life skills workshops that capture the attention of K-8 students, conducting motivation sessions that drive weekly learning goal achievement, and maintaining high standards when students want to take shortcuts. Academic progress happens through the apps. You manage the human element.
This position offers meaningful advancement potential. Those who consistently achieve performance targets (100% cohort weekly app goal completion, 90%+ satisfaction ratings) advance into Lead positions where they mentor other educators and influence campus culture.
The campus sits in Brownsville, adjacent to SpaceX's Starbase facility. If you're looking to work in one of America's most innovative locations doing work that transforms how children see their own potential, submit your application.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour life skills workshops with K-8 students on topics including public speaking, concentration, and feedback exchange
- Administering Test2Pass mastery assessments following each workshop to verify students have truly acquired the skill, not merely attended the session
- Conducting daily motivation sessions leveraging student profiles, personal interests, and Coachbot analytics to achieve 100% cohort completion of weekly app advancement goals
- Utilizing storytelling, incentive systems (school currency, leaderboards), and individual connection to overcome student resistance
- Monitoring cohort satisfaction ratings to maintain a 90%+ benchmark on student surveys
What you will NOT be doing
- Delivering traditional lectures at a whiteboard. Students progress academically through self-paced applications, not through direct instruction from you.
- Providing passive supervision. The environment involves students using computers; the role demands active engagement.
- Compromising standards when students resist. Test2Pass expectations remain consistent, even when a student faces challenges during a difficult week.
- Creating curriculum from the ground up — workshop guides and lesson plans are supplied; your responsibility is executing them with the presence and narrative skill that ensures genuine student comprehension.
- Handling parent communications, coordinating admissions, or supervising campus logistics. Those functions belong to different positions.
Key responsibilities
Guide a cohort of K-8 students to achieve 100% weekly academic goal completion while facilitating life skills workshops that maintain 90%+ satisfaction scores.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any field
- Minimum 3 years of direct experience working with K-8 (elementary and middle school) students
- Strong storytelling and facilitation skills — capable of maintaining the engagement of a room full of children for an hour
- Able to work on-site at the Alpha campus located in Brownsville, TX
- Legal authorization to work in the US without requiring visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Experience as an athletic coach, camp counselor, or youth program leader
- Demonstrated history of high achievement in competitive settings (academic, athletic, or professional)
- Familiarity with self-directed or app-based educational environments
