At Alpha, this isn't up for discussion—it's foundational to our daily operations. Academic content is delivered through self-paced digital applications, not traditional instruction. This model allows you to concentrate on what truly drives transformation: facilitating dynamic workshops on topics like public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback. You'll leverage live data and analytics to push students toward complete mastery of every learning objective.

You'll also develop the Guides working with you. Your primary tools are performance data, a tested operational framework, and the kind of executive presence that commands attention from middle schoolers.

You will be responsible for a student cohort and accountable for three measurable outcomes: students are engaged and enjoy their school experience, they progress academically at double the rate of conventional classrooms, and they acquire practical competencies for life. Coaching fellow Guides begins on your first day. As you demonstrate scalable results, your authority to shape campus-wide programming expands.

Atlanta:
Culturally vibrant metropolitan area with temperate weather and cost of living well below coastal cities.

Fort Worth:
Zero state income tax, highly rated school districts, and a family-oriented city with thriving culinary and arts communities.

• Developing Guides through coaching on adherence to program standards and consistency, ensuring each interaction results in concrete next steps
• Managing your own cohort of students while simultaneously growing the capacity of other Guides

• Teaching or providing academic tutoring. Academic learning happens through digital platforms.
• Creating lesson plans or developing new curriculum. Alpha's playbook serves as your operational foundation, allowing you to concentrate on delivery and relationship-building.
• Compromising when a student reaches 99% rather than 100%. Maintaining expectations demonstrates your confidence in their ability to reach the standard.
• Training Guides on instructional methods. Since Guides do not teach content, you'll be developing their capacity for energy management, student motivation, and accountability practices.
