Kindergarten Teacher, Alpha - $120,000/year USD

What You Will Be Doing

• Facilitate dynamic life-skills workshops that guide K-3 students toward mastery of communication, concentration, feedback reception, and other enduring skills through hands-on engagement rather than traditional instruction.
• Provide one-on-one and small-group coaching, utilizing Coachbot analytics, established motivation frameworks, and meaningful relationships to maintain every child's progress toward challenging weekly learning targets.
• Evaluate life-skill proficiency using Alpha's Test2Pass framework, continuing to coach students until they show genuine comprehension—not merely attendance.
• Adjust your coaching approach to match the developmental stage of your cohort, whether that involves songs, physical activity, and narrative techniques for younger learners or greater autonomy and responsibility for older students.
• Establish relationships where students feel sufficiently supported to push beyond their perceived limitations.

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Presenting academic content at a whiteboard. Students complete academics using adaptive software.
• Creating curriculum materials from the ground up. You'll refine and customize proven frameworks rather than designing lessons independently.
• Observing students as they work quietly on computers. Your function is active coaching, encouragement, and engagement.
• Reducing standards when students face difficulties. Success is achieved by supporting students to meet the goal, not by adjusting the goal downward.
• Overseeing homework assignments, grading student work, or managing routine parent correspondence.
