• Relocation assistance available for candidates committing to a full school year on campus
  
  

You've dedicated years to coaching young people — not merely instructing them. You understand the distinction: coaching means connecting, challenging, and refusing to accept anything less than a student's peak performance. Instruction means delivering content. You have never functioned as a content delivery mechanism.

Alpha operates the most unconventional educational model you will encounter. Students do not occupy rows while being lectured. They progress through AI-driven learning applications at individualized paces. AI manages the instructional material. Your responsibility is conducting life skills workshops that command the attention of K-8 students, facilitating motivation sessions that drive them toward weekly learning targets, and maintaining standards when a student attempts to disengage. Academic progression is automated. You manage the human dimension.

This position offers a meaningful advancement trajectory, and that trajectory leads to greater student impact. Guides who consistently achieve performance benchmarks (100% cohort attainment of weekly app goals, 90%+ satisfaction ratings) advance into Lead Guide positions where they mentor other educators in refining this work. Students remain the central focus.

The campus is located in Brownsville, adjacent to SpaceX's Starbase facility. If your motivation for leaving your current position is the mission — transforming what a child believes about their potential — rather than enhancing your resume, submit your application.

What You Will Be Doing

• Facilitating one-hour life skills workshops with K-8 students addressing public speaking, focus, and feedback exchange
• Administering Test2Pass mastery assessments following each workshop to verify students have authentically acquired the skill, not merely attended the session
• Conducting daily motivation sessions leveraging student profiles, individual interests, and Coachbot analytics to achieve 100% cohort completion of weekly app advancement targets
• Employing storytelling techniques, incentive structures (school currency, leaderboards), and individual rapport to overcome student resistance
• Monitoring cohort satisfaction ratings toward a 90%+ benchmark on student surveys
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Presenting lectures at a whiteboard. Students progress academically via self-directed AI-powered applications, not through direct instruction from you.
• Supervising passively. The environment involves students using computers; the role demands active engagement.
• Compromising standards when students resist. Test2Pass requirements remain consistent, regardless of individual student circumstances during any given week.
• Designing curriculum independently. Lesson frameworks and workshop guides are supplied; your responsibility is executing them with the presence and narrative skill that ensures genuine student comprehension.
• Handling parent communications, conducting admissions processes, or overseeing campus logistics. Those functions belong to separate roles.
