Early Childhood Educator, Alpha - $100,000/year USD

About the role

This position is about inspiring young learners and transforming their futures. It is not for someone seeking to deliver standard curriculum or oversee a conventional classroom. Instead, it involves coaching students through obstacles, acknowledging their achievements, and demonstrating rigorous standards with authentic support.

Responsibilities

• Facilitate dynamic life-skills workshops that support K-3 students in developing communication, concentration, feedback reception, and other enduring competencies through hands-on 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 challenging weekly learning targets.
• Evaluate life-skill proficiency using Alpha's Test2Pass system, guiding students until they exhibit genuine mastery—not simply attendance.
• Modify your coaching approach to suit the developmental stage of your cohort, incorporating songs, physical activity, and narrative for younger students or emphasizing greater autonomy and responsibility for older learners.
• Cultivate relationships in which students feel secure enough to push beyond their perceived limitations.

Requirements

• Willing to work on-site at one of Alpha's campuses.
• Current opportunities at this compensation level are located in Scottsdale, AZ; Oklahoma City and Tulsa, OK; Nashville, TN; Austin, Georgetown, Dallas, Plano, Fort Worth, and Houston, TX; and Park City (Salt Lake City area), UT.
• Bachelor's degree in any field.
• A minimum of 3 years of direct experience working with children ages 4-9 in teaching, coaching, tutoring, camps, youth programs, or comparable settings.
• Demonstrated success in motivating young children to reach demanding goals, with concrete examples of your influence.
• Ease with leveraging AI-powered learning technology while concentrating your efforts on coaching, motivation, and life-skill cultivation.
• Capacity to combine warmth with consistent high expectations.
• Legal authorization to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship.

Nice-to-have Requirements

• Background in youth athletics, children's theater, camp leadership, Montessori, progressive education, or highly interactive after-school programs.
• Personal history of reaching ambitious objectives in academics, sports, or professional life.
• Exceptional storytelling or performance abilities that naturally engage young children.
• Track record of transforming hesitant or reserved children into confident, active participants.
