Description
- On-site role in Houston, TX (relocation assistance available)
- $100,000 annual compensation, distributed weekly. Full health, dental, and vision coverage begins immediately
The kindest thing you can offer a child who reaches 99% of their target is to insist it's not finished. If that principle unsettles you, this position won't be a fit. If it energizes you—because you understand that maintaining high expectations demonstrates your confidence in a student's ability—read on.
Alpha operates differently from conventional schools. Students complete a full academic day in roughly two hours using adaptive software. No traditional lectures. No printed textbooks. Your role centers on what technology cannot replicate: guiding Pre-K through 8th grade students in life competencies such as public speaking, concentration, and constructive communication. You'll spend half your time facilitating hands-on workshops using prepared frameworks and narrative techniques. The remaining half involves meeting with students individually or in small clusters, analyzing their adaptive learning performance via Coachbot analytics, and driving them toward 100% completion of weekly objectives. Mastery is demonstrated through Test2Pass evaluations, not effort-based grading.
During your first year, you'll manage a student cohort and become fluent in Alpha's methodology: life competency workshops, motivational coaching, mastery-validated assessments. Once you consistently hold every student to full goal completion while maintaining satisfaction ratings above 90%, advancement to Lead Guide becomes available—a position where you mentor fellow Guides while remaining actively engaged with students. High performers in this role don't merely transform individual trajectories; they influence campus-wide culture and operations.
If you've dedicated years to coaching, counseling, or mentoring young people and have wished you could eliminate traditional instruction to concentrate on genuine development, this opportunity is designed for you.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour life competency workshops for Pre-K–8 students covering public speaking, concentration, teamwork, and constructive communication (experiential and project-oriented)
- Conducting daily individual and small-group motivational sessions where you analyze each student's adaptive learning performance (via Coachbot analytics), establish objectives, and drive them toward 100% weekly completion
- Overseeing and assessing Test2Pass evaluations to verify students have genuinely mastered each life competency, beyond simple participation
- Adjusting your coaching approach across diverse age groups, from Pre-K learners requiring high energy and physical activity to 8th graders needing direct conversation and accountability
- Cultivating authentic connections with each student so they trust you sufficiently to receive coaching through resistance, distraction, and uncertainty
What you will NOT be doing
- Presenting lectures or providing conventional academic instruction (students acquire core subjects through adaptive applications, not direct teaching from you)
- Developing lesson plans or curriculum independently (Alpha supplies life competency frameworks; your responsibility is to animate them with energy and narrative)
- Handling parent communications or administrative tasks (Campus Leads manage those functions; you remain concentrated on student work)
- Evaluating homework or coordinating standardized testing preparation (these elements don't exist in this model)
- Operating independently (you're integrated into a campus team alongside Lead Guides, Campus Leads, and colleagues who exchange feedback and maintain mutual accountability)
Key responsibilities
Guarantee that every student in your cohort develops a genuine enthusiasm for school, achieves mastery of critical life competencies, and reaches 100% of their academic objectives through adaptive learning technology.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any discipline
- 3+ years of direct experience working with Pre-K–8 students (in teaching, coaching, counseling, or youth program management roles)
- Demonstrated experience motivating or coaching Pre-K–8 students toward academic, behavioral, or extracurricular objectives, with at least one concrete example you can articulate (including the objective, your specific actions, and the result)
- Regular use of generative AI platforms (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)
- Available to work on-site at Alpha's Houston, TX campus (relocation assistance provided)
- Authorization to work legally in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Background in youth sports coaching, camp coordination, or after-school programming where you held direct responsibility for motivating children toward defined objectives
- History of significant personal accomplishment (academic distinction, competitive sports, or leadership positions demanding sustained high performance)
- Innate narrative skills: you can maintain the attention of a room full of 12-year-olds for an hour without escalating your voice
- Success motivating unengaged or reluctant students and converting them into active contributors
