Role Overview Alpha’s model enables students to complete core academic work in two hours daily using AI‑driven, self‑guided applications. The role focuses on high‑impact workshops that develop public speaking, concentration, and a feedback culture, drive students toward full goal achievement through live analytics, and build the team of Guides who support this work. Responsibilities Facilitate structured one‑hour workshops on essential life competencies (public speaking, concentration, feedback culture) for elementary and middle school cohorts (K‑8) using Alpha’s established playbook. Conduct targeted motivation interventions using real‑time student data and Alpha’s incentive infrastructure (campus currency, performance leaderboards) to achieve 100% goal attainment for your cohort. Develop Guides through focused coaching on program consistency and standards adherence, ensuring each coaching interaction yields specific performance improvements. Manage your own student cohort concurrently with Guide development responsibilities. Monitor student satisfaction metrics, goal completion percentages, and Guide performance indicators weekly to identify and address performance gaps early. What You Won’t Be Doing Delivering academic instruction or providing subject tutoring to students; academic learning occurs through self‑directed applications without direct adult instruction. Creating original curriculum or developing lesson plans independently; the playbook is established and must be executed faithfully. Training Guides in traditional teaching methods; Guides focus on energy management, student motivation, and accountability systems. Accepting 99% performance as sufficient; the standard is 100% and rigorous expectations demonstrate confidence in student capability. Serving as the campus emotional support figure without accountability; students receive genuine connection alongside direct feedback and meaningful consequences.
