The greatest gift you can give a student who achieves 99% is to insist they reach 100%.

At Alpha, this principle isn't up for discussion—it defines daily operations. Students master academic content through self-directed applications, not traditional instruction from a teacher. This model allows you to focus on what truly transforms outcomes: facilitating dynamic workshops on public speaking, concentration, and feedback skills. You'll use real-time analytics to drive students toward complete goal attainment. You'll also develop the Guides who support your work. Your resources include performance data, a structured methodology, and the executive presence that commands attention from middle schoolers.

You'll take ownership of a student cohort and deliver three measurable results: students are enthusiastic about attending school, they progress at double the rate of conventional classrooms, and they develop practical life competencies. From the outset, you'll coach other Guides. As you consistently produce outcomes at scale, your authority over campus-wide standards and program quality will expand.

Atlanta: Culturally vibrant metropolitan area with temperate weather and living costs more favorable than coastal cities.

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

What You Will Be Doing

• Facilitating one-hour live workshops focused on life skills (public speaking, concentration, delivering and receiving feedback) for students in grades K-8, using Alpha's established playbook
• Conducting motivation sessions leveraging Coachbot analytics and Alpha's incentive architecture (campus currency, leaderboards) to achieve 100% goal completion across your cohort
• Developing Guides through coaching on program adherence and standards enforcement, ensuring every session yields concrete action steps for improvement
• Managing your assigned student cohort while simultaneously building the capacity of other Guides
• Monitoring student satisfaction metrics, goal completion percentages, and Guide performance indicators
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Providing academic instruction or tutoring in subject areas. Students master content through application-based learning.
• Creating curriculum or developing lesson plans. Alpha's playbook serves as your framework, allowing you to concentrate on implementation and student engagement.
• Accepting 99% when 100% is achievable. Maintaining high expectations demonstrates your belief in student capability.
• Training Guides on instructional pedagogy. Since Guides don't deliver traditional teaching, your coaching centers on motivation, energy, and accountability.
