Senior Instructional Coach, Alpha

Overview

Alpha is transforming the school experience. Our students move through adaptive applications at pace, achieve mastery in half the time, and develop practical life competencies. Your role is to ensure our "3 Promises" are realized for every student you oversee and to develop our Guides so they deliver the same outcomes.

You will combine exceptional coaching expertise with dynamic facilitator presence, converting workshops, data-informed rally sessions, and precise feedback into powerful developmental experiences. If you have broken performance benchmarks, transformed struggling performers into achievers, or simply reject mediocrity, we want you creating excellence alongside us.

• Coaching and advancing Guides to execute Alpha's workshops at a world-class standard
• Developing Guide Playbooks that document facilitation best practices, design of engaging learning experiences, and approaches to common obstacles
• Delivering consistent, practical feedback to Guides that elevates student participation and outcomes
• Personally coaching a small student cohort, demonstrating expert mentorship and motivational techniques

• Creating lesson plans – Guides support student learning via adaptive apps; you concentrate on equipping them to be outstanding motivators
• Compromising standards – when our success threshold is 100%, your role is to uphold that expectation
• Running dull training sessions – you'll develop Guides through dynamic, interactive, high-impact learning experiences

Develop Guides and students to ensure every learner in your cohort loves school, achieves learning at 2× speed, and gains mastery of life skills. No exceptions.
