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

About the role

$100,000 annual W2 salary paid weekly, plus health, dental, and vision benefits starting day one
On-site role at an Alpha campus located in Phoenix, AZ; Oklahoma City, OK; Tulsa, OK; Nashville, TN; Austin, TX; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX; or Park City (Salt Lake City), UT—relocation assistance available
What You Will Be Doing:
Facilitating one-hour life-skills workshops for groups of 10-15 K-3 students, covering public speaking, focus, feedback, and other transferable skills
Conducting daily individual and small-group motivation sessions to keep students on track for weekly app targets, leveraging Coachbot analytics, Alpha's incentive structures (school currency, leaderboards), and the relationship you develop with each child
Delivering the Test2Pass (Alpha's mastery-based evaluation) for each life skill, and continuing to coach students who do not pass on the first attempt until they achieve mastery
Engaging kindergarteners at their developmental level using songs, stories, physical movement, and humor, while simultaneously holding second and third graders accountable to concrete, measurable outcomes
Serving as the warm adult children are excited to see at drop-off AND the adult who will not permit them to settle for less than their best
What You Won’t Be Doing:
Delivering lectures from a whiteboard; academic content is delivered through the apps, not by you
Creating curriculum from the ground up; Alpha supplies the framework and you execute it with energy and creativity
Passively supervising children at computer stations; motivation in this role is active, individualized, and constant
Reducing a weekly target so a child can reach it; when a student falls behind, the solution is to coach the student, not adjust the goal
Grading homework, running standardized test preparation, or handling parent communication; Campus Leads manage parent-facing responsibilities, and the other tasks do not exist in this model

Responsibilities

• Ensure that every student in your K-3 cohort achieves their weekly learning objectives, masters each life skill, and completes the year reporting that they loved you.

Requirements

• Willing to work on-site at an Alpha campus in Phoenix, AZ; Oklahoma City, OK; Tulsa, OK; Nashville, TN; Austin, TX; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX; or Park City (Salt Lake City), UT (relocation assistance provided)

• At least 3 years of direct experience working with children ages 4 to 9 (early-elementary teaching, coaching, tutoring, camp counseling, or youth program leadership)
• A concrete example you can share of motivating a young child toward a challenging goal: the objective, your actions, and the result
• Able to participate in a paid training program at our Austin, TX campus
• Willingness to allow AI to manage instructional content while you concentrate on motivation and life-skills coaching
• Legally authorized to work in the US without visa sponsorship

Qualifications

• Nice-to-have Requirements:
• Experience in youth sports coaching, children's theater, camp leadership, Montessori/progressive early education, or after-school programs where you held direct responsibility for motivating young children toward specific objectives
• Personal track record of high achievement (academic, athletic, or professional), such that holding others to demanding standards is a natural inclination, not an adopted persona
• Natural performer's energy with young children—the capacity to captivate a room of kindergarteners through voice, playfulness, and physical presence
• Proven ability to transform shy or hesitant young children into confident, engaged participants

Skills
