Research Analyst, Alpha - $100,000/year USD
About the role
At Alpha, students learn academics through AI‑powered adaptive learning apps—no lectures, no textbooks, no whiteboard. Motivation and life skills are the whole job. Alpha reimagines the school day around faster learning, stronger mentorship, and more time for students to build real‑world skills. You will run one‑hour workshops for K‑8 cohorts on public speaking, focus, and giving and receiving feedback, and spend the other half of your day in 1:1 or small‑group motivation sessions that push each student to 100% of their weekly app goals using Coachbot analytics, school currency, leaderboards, and the relationships you build. You will also administer the Test2Pass mastery assessment for each life skill, re‑coach until mastery, adapt the workshop playbook for kindergarten through 8th grade, and be both the standard‑holder and the trusted adult students turn to.
Responsibilities
- Lead one‑hour life‑skills workshops for K‑8 cohorts on public speaking, focus, and giving and receiving feedback.
- Run daily 1:1 and small‑group motivation sessions that push every student to 100% of their weekly app goals, using Coachbot analytics and Alpha's incentive systems (school currency, leaderboards).
- Administer the Test2Pass mastery assessment for each life skill, then re‑coach any student who does not pass until they do.
- Adapt the workshop playbook and build new sessions when you find a gap, so the same material lands with a kindergartener and with an 8th grader.
- Be both the adult who holds the standard and the adult your students choose to talk to.
- Ensure every student in your K‑8 cohort hits their weekly learning goals, masters each life skill, and leaves the year saying they loved school.
Requirements
