Student Engagement Specialist, Alpha - $100,000/year USD

The majority of people in education exhaust themselves battling the system. They draft lesson plans no one reviews. They endure faculty meetings that produce zero change. You abandoned that illusion long ago. The job is the student sitting in front of you. At Alpha, academics are taught by software. Adaptive applications guide each student through coursework at an individualized pace. No lectures, no homework, no grading. That frees you to focus on work that genuinely transforms lives: facilitating life skill workshops where teenagers develop public speaking, concentration, and feedback skills, then coaching them individually to maintain motivation and achieve their learning objectives. Half your day involves leading group sessions. The other half is spent one-on-one with a student, leveraging their Coachbot data to pinpoint exactly where they're struggling and why. Students will complete a mastery‑based assessment following each workshop. 90%+ should rate you highly. 100% should be progressing in their applications. These aren't aspirational targets; they're the standard. Upholding high expectations is how you demonstrate your belief in their potential. In the process, you'll become skilled at creating workshops teenagers are eager to attend, mastering advanced learning software, and forming meaningful relationships with students and their families. Our Brownsville campus is located adjacent to SpaceX. The frontier of education converges with the frontier of space exploration, and you'll be the one fulfilling Alpha's central promise: students who love school, learn at twice the speed, and acquire skills that truly matter. If you've been waiting for a school that operates the way you believe schools should operate, this is it. What You Will Be Doing Facilitating one‑hour life skill workshops with high school students covering topics such as public speaking, concentration, and feedback exchange, followed by measuring mastery via a structured Test2Pass assessment Conducting daily motivation sessions that utilize Coachbot analytics to engage with individual students, determine where they're encountering obstacles in their learning apps, and help them overcome resistance Creating personalized motivational approaches with students, including rewards and incentives that encourage self‑directed advancement in their academic applications Examining curriculum and lesson plans prior to each session, then adjusting delivery based on your assessment of the group dynamic What You Won’t Be Doing Teaching academic subjects. Software manages math, reading, and all other subjects. Managing a school or supervising a team. No budgets, no hiring, no operational meetings; your complete focus is your student cohort. Disciplining through conventional authority. No detentions, no suspensions, no "because I said so." You rely on logic and positive reinforcement to create a respectful, high‑energy atmosphere.
