Kindergarten Teacher, Alpha - $100,000/year USD

What You Will Be Doing

• Facilitate dynamic life-skills workshops that enable K-3 students to develop communication, focus, feedback, and other foundational skills through active engagement rather than passive listening.
• Provide one-on-one and small-group coaching, utilizing Coachbot analytics, established motivation systems, and strong rapport to ensure every child progresses toward ambitious weekly learning targets.
• Evaluate life-skill proficiency using Alpha's Test2Pass framework, coaching students until they show genuine mastery—not merely attendance.
• Modify your coaching approach based on the developmental stage of your cohort, incorporating songs, movement, and storytelling for younger students or emphasizing greater independence and accountability for older learners.
• Cultivate relationships where students feel secure enough to push beyond what they believed they could accomplish.

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Delivering academic lessons from a whiteboard. Students complete academics through adaptive software.
• Creating curriculum from the ground up. You'll refine and customize proven playbooks rather than designing lessons from scratch.
• Supervising students who work quietly on computers. Your function is active coaching, motivation, and engagement.
• Reducing expectations when students face difficulty. Success requires helping students meet the standard, not adjusting the standard downward.
• Oversight of homework, grading assignments, or managing routine parent communication.
