Life Skills Coach   $100,000 USD/year

Description

Most educators burn energy battling a broken system. They draft lesson plans no one will read. They endure faculty meetings that produce no change. You realized long ago that the real job is simpler: it's the student sitting in front of you.

Alpha uses software to deliver academics. Adaptive applications guide each student through content at an individual pace. There are no lectures, no homework assignments, no grading. This structure allows you to focus on work that genuinely transforms lives: facilitating life skills workshops where high schoolers develop public speaking ability, concentration, and feedback literacy, then providing one-on-one coaching to sustain motivation and help them reach their learning targets. You'll spend half your time leading group sessions. The other half involves working directly with students, using Coachbot data to diagnose precisely where they're encountering obstacles and why.

After every workshop, students complete a mastery-based assessment. You should earn high ratings from 90%+ of participants. 100% should be progressing through their learning apps. These aren't stretch goals—they define the standard. Maintaining high expectations demonstrates your belief in what students can achieve. In the process, you'll gain expertise in creating workshops teenagers genuinely want to attend, mastering advanced learning software, and forming meaningful relationships with students and families. Our Brownsville campus is located adjacent to SpaceX. The cutting edge of education meets the cutting edge of space exploration, and you'll be the one fulfilling Alpha's central promise: students who love attending 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 schools should, you've found it.

What you will be doing

  • Facilitating one-hour life skills workshops for high school students covering topics such as public speaking, focus, and feedback exchange, then assessing mastery through a structured Test2Pass evaluation
  • Conducting daily motivation sessions that leverage Coachbot analytics to engage individual students, pinpoint obstacles in their learning apps, and guide them through resistance
  • Co-creating personalized motivational strategies with students, including reward systems and incentives that fuel self-directed advancement in academic apps
  • Examining curriculum and lesson plans prior to each session, then adjusting your approach based on real-time group dynamics

What you will NOT be doing

  • Teaching traditional academic content. Software manages math, reading, and all other subjects.
  • Overseeing school operations or supervising staff. No budget responsibilities, no hiring decisions, no operational meetings—your attention stays entirely on your student cohort.
  • Enforcing discipline through conventional authority. 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 love attending school, learn 2x faster through 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 leading groups toward quantifiable objectives (completion rates, performance benchmarks, behavior change)
  • Familiarity with adaptive learning platforms or educational technology tools
  • Storytelling skill that captures and holds the attention of teenage audiences, delivered with cultural sensitivity and relatability
