The kindest thing you can do for a student who reaches 99% of their target is to refuse to accept it as finished. If that principle unsettles you, this position won't be a fit. If it energizes you because you understand that maintaining high standards demonstrates belief in a student's capacity, continue reading.

Alpha operates differently from conventional schools. Students complete a full academic day in roughly two hours using adaptive software. No lectures. No textbooks. Your role covers what technology cannot: guiding young people through essential skills like public speaking, concentration, and feedback exchange. You'll facilitate hands‑on workshops, inspire students to achieve their learning targets, and develop relationships that transform a reserved 4th grader into someone who presents with confidence before an audience of adults.

This position grows with you. During your first year, you'll manage a small student cohort and become proficient in Alpha's methodology: life skill workshops, motivation coaching, mastery‑based evaluations. Once you demonstrate the ability to hold every student accountable to 100% goal completion while maintaining satisfaction scores above 90%, opportunities open to advance to Lead Guide, where you'll mentor a team while remaining directly engaged with students.

Top performers in this role don't just transform individual trajectories; they influence entire campus cultures.

Traditional schools don't offer this. If you've been coaching, counseling, or mentoring young people and wishing you could eliminate instructional teaching to focus purely on development, this is your opportunity.

• Facilitating one‑hour life skill workshops for K-12 students covering subjects like public speaking, concentration, time management, and feedback exchange (project‑based and interactive, never lecture‑format).
• Conducting daily motivation sessions where you engage individual students, examine their adaptive learning app progress (via Coachbot analytics), and drive them toward 100% weekly goal attainment.
• Organizing and executing mastery‑based assessments (Test2
  
  Pass) to verify students have genuinely acquired each skill, not merely attended.
• Cultivating authentic relationships with every student so they trust your guidance through resistance, distraction, and uncertainty.
• Monitoring student advancement against satisfaction metrics and goal completion rates, modifying your methods when outcomes don't meet standards.

• Presenting classroom lectures or providing traditional academic instruction (students master core subjects through self‑directed adaptive apps, not through you).
• Creating lesson plans from the ground up (Alpha supplies a life skills curriculum and playbooks; your responsibility is to execute them with energy and narrative skill).
• Handling parent communications or school administrative duties (Campus Leads manage those areas; you remain concentrated on your students).
• Evaluating homework or overseeing standardized test preparation (neither exists in this environment).
• Operating independently (you’re integrated into a campus team alongside Lead Guides, Campus Leads, and colleagues who exchange feedback and maintain mutual accountability).

Guarantee that every student in your cohort enjoys school, develops critical life skills, and achieves 100% of their academic objectives through adaptive learning software.

• Bachelor’s degree in any discipline.
• 3+ years of direct experience working with K-8 students (teaching, coaching, counseling, or youth program management).
• Willingness to work on‑site at an Alpha campus in Denver, CO;
  Atlanta, GA;
  Nashville, TN;
  Fort Worth, TX;
  Houston, TX; or Park City, UT (relocation assistance available).
• Ability to participate in a paid training program at Alpha’s Austin, TX campus.
