• Facilitating one-hour life-skills workshops for K-2 cohorts covering public speaking, concentration, feedback, and other foundational competencies—personalizing the playbook for your group rather than executing it verbatim.
• Conducting daily individual and small-group motivation sessions that maintain every student's trajectory toward weekly app targets, leveraging Coachbot analytics, Alpha's reward structures (school currency, leaderboards), and the rapport established with each child.
• Delivering Test2Pass, Alpha's mastery-validated assessment, for each life skill and coaching students who fall short until mastery is achieved.
• Engaging kindergarteners through song, narrative, physical activity, and playfulness while maintaining concrete, quantifiable expectations for first and second graders.
• Serving as the caring adult children are excited to see at arrival AND the adult who will not accept minimal effort.

• Delivering board-based lectures. Academic content is delivered through the applications, not through you.
• Developing curriculum independently. Alpha supplies the playbook; you animate it.
• Passively monitoring children at terminals. Motivation in this model is deliberate, individualized, and persistent.
• Reducing a weekly target to enable a child to meet it. When a student lags, the intervention targets the student, not the goal.
• Evaluating homework, conducting standardized test preparation, or handling parent correspondence. Campus Leads manage parent-facing responsibilities, and the other tasks do not exist in this environment.

Guarantee that every student in your K-2 cohort reaches weekly learning targets, achieves mastery in each life skill, and concludes the year reporting they loved you.

• Available to work on-site at an Alpha campus located in La Jolla (San Diego), Lake Forest (Orange County), Palo Alto, Piedmont, San Francisco, Santa Monica, or South Bay (LA), CA; Greenwich, CT; Boca Raton, Miami, or Miami Beach, FL; Chicago, IL; or Boston, MA (relocation assistance provided).
• Bachelor's degree in any discipline.
• Minimum 3 years of direct experience working with children ages 4 to 7 (early-elementary instruction, coaching, tutoring, camp counseling, or youth program management).
• A concrete example you can articulate of motivating a young child toward a challenging goal: the objective, your actions, and the result.
• Comfort allowing AI to deliver instructional material while you concentrate on motivation and life-skills coaching.
• Readiness to uphold rigorous expectations with students even when met with resistance.
• Legal authorization to work in the US without need for visa sponsorship.

• Background in youth sports coaching, children's theater, camp management, Montessori/progressive early childhood education, or after-school programs where you held direct accountability for motivating young children toward defined objectives.
• Record of personal high achievement (academic, athletic, or career-based), making holding others to elevated standards a consistent practice rather than an adopted stance.
• Innate performer's energy with young children: capacity to command a room of kindergarteners using voice modulation, humor, and physical expression.
• History of transforming reserved or reluctant young children into engaged, confident contributors.
