2nd Grade Teacher, Alpha - $100,000/year USD

What You Will Be Doing

• Facilitate dynamic life-skills workshops that guide K-3 students toward mastery of communication, concentration, feedback, and other foundational skills through active engagement rather than passive instruction.
• Provide one-on-one and small-group coaching, utilizing Coachbot analytics, established motivation frameworks, and meaningful relationships to ensure every child advances toward ambitious weekly learning targets.
• Evaluate life-skill proficiency using Alpha's Test2Pass framework, continuing to coach students until they demonstrate genuine comprehension—not merely attendance.
