The most caring action you can take for a student who scored 99% is to tell them it's not a passing score. If that idea makes you uncomfortable, this role isn't for you. If it resonates, read on.
Alpha students complete academic learning in two hours daily through AI-powered, self-guided applications. There are no teachers. No lectures. No traditional classroom instruction. This model allows you to focus on what truly shifts student outcomes: facilitating high-impact workshops on public speaking, concentration, and feedback; using live analytics to motivate students toward 100% goal achievement; and developing the Guides on your team.
Your day might begin with a one-on-one Guide coaching conversation, analyzing performance data to pinpoint where a cohort is underperforming. By midday, you're facilitating a student workshop, running a structured activity on feedback dynamics. In the afternoon, you shift to motivation work: engaging individual students, identifying their intrinsic drivers, and leveraging Alpha's incentive framework to reengage a reluctant 7th grader. You also manage your own cohort, ensuring you maintain the same skill set you're coaching others to build.
You've likely been the outlier in traditional education: too metric-focused, too outcome-oriented, too willing to question conventional practices with children. Alpha may be the first environment that truly aligns with your approach. You'll begin coaching Guides immediately, and as you produce measurable results, your influence over campus-wide program quality expands.
Uphold the standard. Transform the student. Apply now.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour workshops on life competencies (public speaking, focus, feedback exchange) for K-8 cohorts, adhering to Alpha's structured playbook rather than creating content independently
- Conducting motivation sessions that leverage student performance data and Alpha's incentive architecture (school currency, leaderboards) to achieve 100% student goal attainment
- Developing Guides through coaching focused on program adherence and standards maintenance, with each session yielding concrete action steps for improvement
- Managing your own student cohort concurrently with Guide development responsibilities
- Monitoring student satisfaction metrics, goal completion percentages, and Guide performance indicators on a weekly basis to identify performance issues early
What you will NOT be doing
- Teaching or tutoring students in academic content. Students complete academic work independently through self-guided applications without adult instruction.
- Creating curriculum or developing original lesson content. The playbook is established; success is measured by execution fidelity, not creative innovation.
- Coaching Guides on instructional methodology. Since Guides don't teach academic content, your coaching centers on energy management, motivation techniques, and accountability enforcement.
- Accepting 99% performance as sufficient when the standard is 100%. Maintaining high expectations demonstrates your belief in student capability.
- Serving as the campus empathy specialist. Students receive genuine connection alongside honest feedback and meaningful consequences.
Key responsibilities
Fulfill Alpha's three core commitments to every student in your cohort: they love attending school, they learn at twice the pace of traditional classrooms, and they build genuine life skills.
