Learning Coach, Alpha - $120,000/year USD

AI-powered instruction can teach a six-year-old to read, but your role is to give the child care and guidance. The Guide leads a single cohort band—either K‑1 or 2‑3—directing AI‑driven academics, facilitating life‑skills workshops, and ensuring each student meets weekly app targets. What You Will Be Doing Facilitating one‑hour life‑skills workshops for K‑3 cohorts on public speaking, focus, feedback, and other foundational skills, personalizing the playbook for your cohort rather than following it verbatim. Conducting daily individual and small‑group motivation sessions that keep every student on track to meet weekly app targets, leveraging Coachbot analytics, Alpha’s incentive structures (school currency, leaderboards), and the rapport you've established with each child. Delivering the Test2Pass, Alpha’s mastery‑based evaluation, for each life skill, and coaching students who do not pass until mastery is achieved. Engaging kindergarteners where they are—through songs, stories, movement, and playfulness—while maintaining real, measurable expectations for second and third graders. Serving as the warm adult children are excited to see at drop‑off AND the adult who will not allow them to settle for less. What You Won’t Be Doing Delivering instruction from the whiteboard. Academic teaching is embedded in the applications, not in you. Creating curriculum from the ground up. Alpha supplies the playbook and you animate it. Passively supervising children at computers. Motivation here is active, individualized, and continuous. Reducing a weekly target so a child can meet it. When a student falls behind, the solution is the student, not the goal. Grading homework, conducting standardized test preparation, or handling parent communication. Campus Leads manage parent-facing responsibilities, and the rest does not exist here. Learning Coach Key Responsibilities Ensure every student in your K‑3 cohort completes their weekly learning targets, masters each life skill, and finishes the year saying they loved you.
