What are the responsibilities and job description for the Learning Coach, Alpha - $200,000/year USD position at Crossover?
- On-site role at an Alpha campus located in New York City, NY, or Miami, FL — support for relocation available
- $200,000 annual compensation
- Full-time position
You are convinced that young learners can achieve far more than conventional classrooms demand, and you have led teams that deliver measurable proof. You understand that accountability, motivation, and rigorous expectations transform outcomes more effectively than any additional curriculum resource.
Alpha completes academic instruction in just two morning hours using adaptive learning platforms. This structure allows you to concentrate on the work with lasting impact: coaching students toward independent learning while strengthening the Guides who enable that development. You will be accountable for results within a K-3 cohort, leveraging data, direct observation, and coaching to ensure each child enjoys school, progresses at twice the typical rate, and builds outstanding life competencies.
This role is neither a traditional instructional coach position nor a principal assignment. Your days will not be consumed by administrative meetings or documentation. Instead, you will be present in classrooms, evaluating both student and Guide effectiveness, facilitating workshops on resilience, focus, communication, and accountability, and coaching children and adults toward concrete improvement.
Your impact will extend beyond your immediate cohort. You will capture proven methods, create playbooks that elevate school-wide standards, and contribute to Alpha's approach for developing future Guides. If building people, scaling quality, and demonstrating that exceptional results follow high expectations energizes you, we want to hear from you.
What You Will Be Doing
- Provide coaching to Guides and students by analyzing performance data, conducting classroom observations, and offering direct feedback for measurable gains.
- Design and lead dynamic workshops for K-3 students that address communication, resilience, collaboration, focus, accountability, and additional life competencies.
- Conduct one-on-one and small-group coaching that links student motivation to growth in academics and independence.
- Develop and iterate on reusable coaching playbooks that enhance Guide team performance.
- Mentor and train Guides while demonstrating outstanding coaching and facilitation practices daily.
- Teaching traditional lessons or presenting academic material directly; core academics are addressed through adaptive technology.
- Applying punitive discipline or reducing expectations when students face difficulties.
- Operating from an office rather than engaging directly with students and Guides each day.
- Handling campus operations, financial planning, or parent outreach; your primary focus is people development and outcome improvement.
- Adhering to standard elementary school methods solely because "that's the way it's always been done."
Fulfill Alpha's three core commitments for every K-3 student by cultivating high-performing Guides, motivated students, and a coaching culture that reliably generates outstanding academic and life results.
Basic Requirements
- Available to work on-site at an Alpha campus in New York City, NY or Miami, FL; relocation assistance is available
- Bachelor's degree in Education, Psychology, Business, Organizational Leadership, Child Development, or a closely related discipline.
- Minimum of 5 years working with elementary-aged children (roughly ages 5-9).
- Track record of leading teams of five or more individuals, including performance management and hiring responsibilities.
- Experience building, launching, or substantially expanding a program, school, team, or initiative beyond simply sustaining existing operations.
- Proven ability to leverage data and measurable outcomes to elevate team or student performance.
- Enthusiastic about questioning traditional education models and adopting a coaching-centered philosophy.
- Legal authorization to work in the United States.
- Master's degree in a relevant discipline.
- Familiarity with dashboards, analytics platforms, or performance measurement systems for continuous improvement.
- Demonstrated experience coaching adults to achieve measurable performance results.
- Experience in youth development, competitive coaching environments, enrichment initiatives, camps, or other settings with high accountability.
- Proven public speaking and facilitation capabilities with young children.
