The kindest thing you can do for a student who reaches 99% of their target is to hold firm and not declare it finished. If that expectation unsettles you, this position isn't a fit. If it energizes you because you understand that maintaining high standards demonstrates your belief in a student's capability, continue reading.

Alpha operates differently from conventional schools. Students complete a full day's worth of academics in roughly two hours using adaptive software. No classroom lectures. No traditional textbooks. Your role centers on what technology cannot replicate: guiding K-8 students through life skills such as public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback exchange. You'll spend half your time facilitating hands-on workshops using prepared playbooks and narrative techniques. The remaining half involves working with students individually or in small groups, analyzing their adaptive learning progress via Coachbot analytics, and driving them to achieve 100% of weekly targets. Mastery is demonstrated through Test2Pass assessments rather than participation-based grading.

During your first year, you'll manage a student cohort and become proficient in Alpha's methodology: life skills workshops, motivational coaching sessions, and mastery-based evaluation. Once you demonstrate the ability to hold every student accountable to 100% goal completion while maintaining satisfaction ratings above 90%, advancement to Lead Guide becomes possible—coaching fellow Guides while remaining directly engaged with students. The most effective people in this position don't merely impact individual students; they influence campus-wide operations.

If you've worked for years coaching, counseling, or mentoring young people while wishing you could eliminate instructional teaching and concentrate purely on their personal development, this opportunity is worth your attention.

What You Will Be Doing

• Facilitating one-hour life skills workshops for K-8 students covering public speaking, concentration, teamwork, and constructive feedback (project-based and experiential)
• Conducting daily individual and small-group coaching sessions where you analyze each student's adaptive learning progress (via Coachbot analytics), establish objectives, and drive them toward 100% weekly goal completion
• Overseeing and assessing Test2Pass evaluations to verify genuine mastery of each life skill rather than mere attendance
• Adjusting your approach across diverse age groups, from kindergarteners requiring energetic and kinesthetic engagement to 8th graders needing direct communication and personal accountability
• Cultivating authentic connections with each student so they trust your guidance through moments of resistance, distraction, and uncertainty
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Presenting lectures or providing conventional academic instruction (core subjects are learned through adaptive applications, not direct teaching from you)
• Creating lesson plans or developing curriculum independently (Alpha supplies life skills playbooks; your responsibility is executing them with engagement and narrative skill)
• Handling parent communications or administrative duties (Campus Leads manage those areas; your focus remains on students)
• Evaluating homework or coordinating standardized testing preparation (these elements don't exist 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)
  
  

Business Consultant Key Responsibilities

Guarantee that every student in your cohort develops enthusiasm for school, achieves mastery of critical life skills, and completes 100% of their academic objectives through adaptive learning technology.

Basic Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in any discipline
• 3+ years of direct experience working with K-8 students (in teaching, coaching, counseling, or youth program leadership capacities)
• Demonstrated experience motivating or coaching K-8 students toward academic, behavioral, or extracurricular objectives, with at least one concrete example you can articulate (including the objective, your actions, and the result)
• Daily usage of generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)
• Availability to work on-site at an Alpha campus in Denver, CO; Atlanta, GA; Oklahoma City, OK; Nashville, TN; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX (Central Houston, South Houston, or The Woodlands); or Park City, UT (relocation assistance provided)

Nice-to-have Requirements

• Background in youth sports coaching, camp leadership, or after-school programming where you held direct responsibility for motivating children toward specific objectives
• History of notable personal accomplishment (academic distinctions, competitive athletics, or leadership positions demanding sustained high performance)
• Innate storytelling capability: you can maintain the attention of a room full of 12-year-olds for an hour without elevating your voice
• Success motivating reluctant or disengaged students and converting them into engaged participants
