Responsibilities

• Provide one-on-one and small-group coaching, leveraging Coachbot analytics, established motivation systems, and robust relationships to ensure every child remains on track for ambitious weekly learning objectives.
• Evaluate life-skill mastery using Alpha's Test2Pass framework, coaching students until they show genuine understanding—not merely participation.
• Adjust your coaching approach to match the developmental requirements of your cohort, whether that involves songs, movement, and storytelling for younger learners or greater independence and accountability for older students.
• Establish the types of relationships where students feel sufficiently supported to push beyond what they believed they could accomplish.
