Role Overview The most meaningful support you can offer a student who achieves 99% is to withhold calling it 100%. If that principle resonates, this role may be a fit. Students at Alpha accelerate through adaptive learning applications while developing practical life skills. Your responsibility is ensuring three core commitments are fulfilled for every student in your cohort: genuine enthusiasm for learning, progress at 2x the standard rate, and acquisition of capabilities beyond traditional curricula. You will also develop Guides who uphold these commitments. What You Will Be Doing Facilitating one‑hour interactive life skills and SEL sessions with K‑8 students covering public speaking, concentration, and other subjects per Alpha’s framework. Conducting daily engagement sessions that motivate all students toward weekly application‑based objectives using age‑appropriate mechanisms, including school currency and performance rankings. Developing Guides through direct observation, specific feedback, and practical training so they execute sessions with equivalent energy and accuracy. Analyzing Coachbot data and individual student records to pinpoint students requiring support and providing direct intervention. Personally mentoring your assigned student cohort, modeling the coaching and engagement techniques you expect from all Guides. What You Won’t Be Doing Creating lesson plans or instructional content; the focus is on elevating the people who support students. Delivering traditional classroom lectures; the role is 80% performance and engagement, 20% content expertise. Compromising standards due to external pressure; maintaining the “not yet” stance at 99% is expected. Working from an office processing administrative documents; most time involves direct engagement.
