Elementary School Teacher, Alpha - $100,000/year USD

About the role

This position is defined by its focus on transforming lives through mentoring and fostering resilience, confidence, and strong communication in young students. It is not suitable for those seeking to implement scripted lessons or manage traditional classroom routines.

Responsibilities

• Facilitate dynamic life-skills workshops designed to help K-3 students develop communication, focus, feedback fluency, and other foundational competencies through hands-on engagement rather than passive instruction.
• Provide one-on-one and small-group coaching using Coachbot analytics, research-backed motivation techniques, and strong interpersonal connections to ensure each child meets ambitious weekly learning targets.
• Evaluate life-skill proficiency using Alpha's Test2Pass system, continuing to coach students until they exhibit genuine mastery—not simply attendance or effort.
• Tailor your coaching approach to fit the developmental stage of your cohort, incorporating songs, physical activity, and narratives for younger students while increasing autonomy and responsibility for older learners.
• Cultivate relationships that give students the confidence to attempt challenges they previously believed were beyond their reach.

Requirements

• Willing to work on-site at one of Alpha's campuses.
• Bachelor's degree in any subject.
• At least 3 years of experience working directly with children ages 4-9 through teaching, coaching, tutoring, camps, youth programs, or similar environments.
• A track record of motivating young children to achieve challenging goals, with specific examples of your impact.
• Comfort using AI-powered learning while focusing your own energy on coaching, motivation, and life-skill development.
• The ability to balance warmth with unwavering expectations.
• Legal authorization to work in the United States without visa sponsorship.

Nice-to-have Requirements

• Background in youth athletics, children's theater, camp direction, Montessori settings, progressive schooling, or high-energy after-school initiatives.
• First-hand experience reaching ambitious objectives in academic, athletic, or professional contexts.
• Exceptional storytelling or performance ability that naturally engages young children.
• Demonstrated success helping hesitant or introverted children grow into confident, active contributors.
