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

What You Will Be Doing

• Facilitate dynamic life-skills workshops that enable K-3 students to develop communication, concentration, feedback reception, and other foundational skills through hands-on engagement rather than passive listening.
• 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 system, guiding students until they exhibit genuine comprehension—not merely attendance.
• Tailor your coaching approach to match the developmental stage of your cohort, whether that involves songs, physical activity, and narratives for younger children or greater autonomy and responsibility for older learners.
• Cultivate relationships where students feel sufficiently supported to push beyond their perceived limits.

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Presenting academic instruction at a whiteboard.
• Developing curriculum from the ground up.
• Supervising students as they quietly work on computers.
• Reducing standards when students face difficulties.
• Overseeing homework, evaluating assignments, or managing standard parent correspondence.
