The most constructive response to a student who scored 99% is to inform them they have not yet met the standard. If that statement causes you discomfort, this role is not for you. If it resonates, continue reading.

Alpha students complete their academic work in two hours daily using self-directed AI-enabled applications. There are no teachers, no lectures, and no classroom instruction. This model allows you to focus on work that genuinely alters student outcomes: facilitating dynamic workshops on public speaking, concentration, and feedback literacy; using live analytics to drive students toward complete goal achievement; and developing the Guides working beside you.

A typical morning may begin with individual coaching of a Guide, analyzing performance data to pinpoint where a cohort is struggling. By midday, you're facilitating a student workshop, executing a structured activity on feedback exchange. Afternoons involve motivation work: engaging individual students, understanding their drivers, and applying Alpha's incentive framework to re-engage a reluctant 7th grader. You manage your own cohort directly, ensuring you maintain the same competencies you're teaching others to build.

You've likely been the outlier in education: overly analytical, excessively outcome-oriented, too ready to question conventional approaches with students. Alpha may be the first environment where you belong. You'll begin coaching Guides immediately, and as you produce measurable results, your authority over campus-wide program standards expands.

Uphold the standard. Transform the student. Submit your application today.

What You Will Be Doing

• Facilitating structured one-hour workshops on essential competencies (public speaking, concentration, feedback exchange) for K-8 cohorts, executing Alpha's established playbook rather than creating content
• Conducting motivation sessions that leverage student data and Alpha's incentive architecture (campus currency, leaderboards) to achieve 100% goal attainment
• Developing Guides on program adherence and standards maintenance, ensuring each coaching interaction yields specific performance improvements
• Managing your own cohort while simultaneously building capacity in other Guides
• Monitoring student satisfaction metrics, goal completion percentages, and Guide performance indicators weekly to identify deterioration before it escalates
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Teaching or tutoring academic content to students. Academic learning occurs through self-directed applications without adult supervision.
• Creating curricula or developing original lesson frameworks. The playbook is provided; success requires execution fidelity, not creative innovation.
• Coaching Guides on instructional pedagogy. Since Guides do not instruct, you're developing their capacity for energy management, motivation, and accountability enforcement.
• Accepting 99% performance when the standard is 100%. Maintaining standards demonstrates your confidence in student capability.
• Serving as the campus "empathy anchor." Students receive connection here, alongside direct feedback and meaningful accountability.
