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

Most educators burn energy battling broken systems. Drafting lesson plans no one uses. Attending faculty meetings that accomplish nothing. You realized long ago that wasn't the real job. The real job is the student sitting in front of you. At Alpha, academics are delivered through software. Adaptive applications guide each student through content at an individualized pace. No lectures, no homework, no grading. This structure frees you to focus on work that genuinely transforms lives: facilitating life skill workshops where high schoolers develop public speaking, concentration, and feedback skills, then coaching them individually to maintain motivation and achieve learning targets. Half your time is spent leading group sessions. The other half is spent one-on-one with a student, leveraging Coachbot data to diagnose precisely where they're blocked and why. Students will complete a mastery-based assessment following each workshop. 90%+ should rate your sessions highly. 100% should be progressing in their apps. These aren't stretch goals; they're minimum expectations. Setting rigorous standards demonstrates your confidence in their potential. In the process, you'll develop expertise in creating workshops teenagers eagerly attend, mastering advanced learning software, and forming meaningful relationships with students and families. This position is based in Oklahoma City, where you'll help fulfill Alpha's fundamental commitment: students who enjoy school, learn at twice the typical rate, and acquire skills that truly matter. If you've been searching for a school that operates the way you believe schools should, you've found it. What You Will Be Doing Facilitating one-hour life skill workshops for 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 leveraging Coachbot analytics to engage individual students, pinpoint obstacles in their learning apps, and guide them through resistance Co-creating personalized motivational approaches with students, including reward systems and incentives that fuel self-directed advancement in their academic apps Preparing by reviewing curriculum and lesson plans prior to each session, then adjusting your delivery based on real-time group dynamics What You Won’t Be Doing Teaching academic content. Math, reading, and all other subjects are delivered by software. Running a school or supervising staff. No budgets, no hiring, no operational meetings; your sole focus is your student cohort. Enforcing discipline through conventional authority. No detentions, no suspensions, no "because I said so." You rely on reasoning and positive reinforcement to cultivate a respectful, energized learning environment.
