Educator, 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 skills, and other enduring competencies through hands-on engagement rather than passive instruction.
• Provide one-on-one and small-group coaching, utilizing Coachbot analytics, validated motivation frameworks, and meaningful relationships to ensure every child remains aligned with challenging weekly learning targets.
• Evaluate life-skill proficiency using Alpha's Test2Pass system, coaching students until they exhibit genuine mastery—not merely attendance or effort.
• Tailor your coaching approach to match the developmental stage of your cohort, incorporating songs, physical movement, and narrative for younger students or emphasizing greater autonomy and responsibility for older learners.
• Cultivate relationships where students feel sufficiently supported to push beyond their perceived limitations.

• Delivering academic instruction from the front of the room.
• Developing curriculum independently.
• Supervising students as they work quietly on devices.
