Description
Most educators exhaust themselves trying to change a broken system. They draft lesson plans no one will review. They endure faculty meetings that produce no meaningful outcomes. You recognized long ago that this isn't the real work. The real work is the student sitting in front of you.
At Alpha, academics are delivered through software. Adaptive applications guide each learner through content at an individualized pace. There are no lectures, no homework assignments, and no grading. This structure allows you to focus on what truly transforms lives: facilitating life skill workshops where high school students develop public speaking abilities, sharpen their focus, and practice giving and receiving feedback—then coaching them individually to maintain motivation and achieve their learning targets. You'll spend half your time leading group sessions. The other half, you'll work one-on-one with students, analyzing Coachbot data to pinpoint exactly where they're encountering obstacles and why.
After every workshop, students complete a mastery-based assessment. You should receive high ratings from 90%+ of participants. 100% should be progressing in their applications. These aren't stretch goals—they define the standard. Setting high expectations for students is how you demonstrate your belief in their potential. In the process, you'll develop expertise in creating workshops that teenagers genuinely look forward to, mastering advanced learning software, and forming meaningful relationships with students and their families. This position is located in Oklahoma City, where you'll contribute to Alpha's central mission: students who enjoy school, learn at twice the typical rate, and acquire skills with real-world relevance. If you've been searching for a school that operates the way you believe education should, you've found it.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour life skill workshops for high school students covering topics such as public speaking, focus, and feedback exchange, followed by measuring mastery via a structured Test2Pass assessment
- Conducting daily motivation sessions that leverage Coachbot analytics to engage individual students, determine where they're encountering difficulties in their learning apps, and help them overcome obstacles
- Collaborating with students to develop personalized motivational approaches, including reward systems and incentives that encourage self-directed advancement in their academic applications
- Preparing by reviewing curriculum and lesson plans prior to each session, then adjusting your approach based on real-time observation of the group dynamic
What you will NOT be doing
- Teaching academic content. Software delivers instruction in math, reading, and all other subjects.
- Overseeing school operations or supervising staff. No budget responsibilities, no recruitment duties, no administrative meetings; you concentrate entirely on your student cohort.
- Enforcing discipline through conventional authority structures. No detentions, no suspensions, no "because I said so." You rely on reasoning and positive reinforcement to create a respectful, energized learning environment.
Key responsibilities
Develop a cohort of high school students who enjoy school, learn 2x faster using adaptive software, and achieve mastery of practical life skills.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any subject
- 3+ years of experience working directly with high school students (ages 13-18)
- Willing to work in-person in Oklahoma City, OK (relocation assistance available)
- Legal right to work in the US
Nice to have
- Experience as an athletic coach, camp counselor, or youth program coordinator who has motivated teenagers in non-traditional classroom settings
- Demonstrated success guiding groups toward quantifiable outcomes (completion rates, performance metrics, behavioral improvements)
- Familiarity with adaptive learning platforms or educational technology tools
- Ability to captivate a room of teenagers through storytelling, delivered with cultural sensitivity and authenticity
