Learning Coach, Alpha - $100,000/year USD

• On-site position in Springfield, MA (relocation assistance available)
• $100,000 annual salary, distributed weekly. Full health, dental, and vision coverage begins day one
  
  

Do you see a student reach 99% and refuse to accept anything less than completion? The most caring thing you can do for a child who achieves 99% of their target is to insist they finish. If that expectation feels uncomfortable, this position is not 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 approximately two hours using adaptive software. No traditional lectures. No physical textbooks. Your role addresses what technology cannot: developing life skills in Pre-K through 8th grade students—skills like public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback exchange. You'll spend half your day facilitating hands-on workshops guided by structured playbooks and narrative techniques. The remaining time is dedicated to individual and small-group sessions where you examine student progress through Coachbot analytics within adaptive learning platforms and drive them toward achieving 100% of weekly objectives. Students demonstrate competency via Test2Pass assessments rather than participation-based grades.

This is purposefully selective work. Your first year centers on mastering the operational framework: workshop facilitation, motivational coaching, mastery verification, and consistently holding every student to complete goal attainment. Succeed in this, and advancement to Lead Guide becomes accessible. You must combine genuine warmth, commanding presence, and uncompromising standards. Submit your application now.

What You Will Be Doing

• Facilitating hour-long life skill workshops covering public speaking, concentration, teamwork, and feedback exchange, adjusting your delivery and engagement style for Pre-K through 8th grade age ranges
• Conducting daily individual and small-group coaching sessions to examine student progress in adaptive learning platforms (via Coachbot analytics), establish objectives, and drive students toward completing 100% of weekly benchmarks
• Overseeing and assessing Test2Pass evaluations to verify genuine mastery of each life skill rather than mere attendance
• Providing focused interventions when students lag academically or in engagement levels—diagnosing underlying issues and creating targeted recovery strategies
• Cultivating authentic connections with each student so they develop sufficient trust to receive your coaching through moments of resistance, distraction, and uncertainty
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Conducting lectures or providing conventional academic instruction (core academic content is delivered through adaptive applications, not by you)
• Developing lesson plans or creating curriculum independently (Alpha supplies life skills frameworks; your responsibility is to execute them with enthusiasm and narrative skill)
• Handling parent communication or administrative functions (Campus Leads manage these areas; your attention remains on students)
• Evaluating homework assignments or preparing students for standardized testing (these elements are absent from Alpha's model)
• Operating independently without collaboration (you work within a campus team alongside Lead Guides, Campus Leads, and colleagues who exchange feedback and maintain mutual accountability)
