What are the responsibilities and job description for the Learning Coach, Alpha - $100,000/year USD position at Crossover?
- On-site in Springfield, MA (relocation assistance available)
- $100,000 annual salary paid weekly. Full health, dental, and vision coverage starting day one
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 printed textbooks. Your responsibility covers what technology cannot: guiding Pre-K through 8th grade students in essential life skills including public speaking, concentration, and feedback exchange. You'll spend half your time facilitating hands-on workshops with structured materials and narrative techniques. The remaining time is dedicated to individual or small-group sessions where you examine student progress through adaptive learning platforms via Coachbot analytics, challenging them to reach 100% of weekly objectives. Mastery is demonstrated through Test2Pass evaluations, not attendance or effort metrics.
This is demanding, selective work. During your first year, you'll become fluent in the operating system: workshop delivery, motivation coaching, mastery verification, and proving you can hold each student accountable to complete goal achievement. Execute this well and advancement to Lead Guide becomes available. You'll need genuine warmth, commanding presence, and uncompromising standards. Apply now.
What You Will Be Doing
- Facilitating one-hour life skills workshops covering public speaking, concentration, teamwork, and feedback exchange—adjusting your delivery and tone for Pre-K through 8th grade audiences
- Conducting daily individual and small-group coaching sessions to review student performance in adaptive learning platforms (via Coachbot analytics), establish objectives, and challenge students to achieve 100% of weekly targets
- Overseeing and scoring Test2Pass evaluations to verify genuine life skill mastery rather than simple participation
- Intervening with focused support when students experience academic or engagement setbacks—diagnosing underlying issues and creating action plans for recovery
- Cultivating authentic relationships with every student so they trust your guidance through moments of resistance, distraction, and uncertainty
- Teaching traditional academic content or delivering classroom lectures (core subject learning happens through adaptive software, not instructor-led lessons)
- Creating original lesson plans or curriculum materials (Alpha supplies life skills playbooks; your role is to execute them with presence and narrative skill)
- Handling parent communication or administrative operations (Campus Leads manage these functions; you remain focused on direct student coaching)
- Assigning or evaluating homework or preparing students for standardized exams (these elements don't exist in this model)
- Operating independently without collaboration (you're integrated into a campus team with Lead Guides, Campus Leads, and colleagues who exchange feedback and maintain mutual accountability)
Guarantee that every student assigned to you loves attending school, achieves mastery of critical life skills, and completes 100% of their academic objectives through the adaptive learning platform.
Basic Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any field.
- 3 years of direct experience with Pre-K–8 students (in teaching, coaching, counseling, or youth program leadership roles).
- Demonstrated experience motivating or coaching Pre-K–8 students toward academic, behavioral, athletic, or extracurricular objectives, with at least one concrete example you can articulate (including the goal, your actions, and the result).
- Comfort with a coaching-exclusive model where all core academic instruction is delivered by the learning platform. Your function is motivation and guidance, not subject-matter teaching.
- Daily use of generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude).
- Able to work on-site at Alpha's Springfield, MA campus (relocation assistance provided).
- Legal authorization to work in the United States without need for visa sponsorship.
- Background in youth sports coaching, camp leadership, or after-school programs where you held direct accountability for motivating children toward defined goals.
- History of significant personal achievement (academic distinctions, competitive sports, or leadership positions requiring sustained high performance).
- Innate storytelling skill: you can command attention from Pre-K–8 audiences for an hour without volume escalation.
- Success engaging disengaged or reluctant students and transforming them into active contributors.
- Experience supporting students who receive special education services.
