Alpha Overview

Alpha is transforming the student experience. Students progress through adaptive applications, achieving mastery at double the conventional pace while building practical life competencies. Your objective is to ensure the "3 Promises" are fulfilled for every learner in your assigned cohort and to equip Guides to replicate this success.

What You Will Be Doing

• Developing and coaching Guides to deliver Alpha’s workshops at world‑class standards.
• Designing Guide Playbooks that document facilitation best practices, engaging learning activities, and strategies for overcoming obstacles.
• Delivering consistent, actionable coaching to Guides to maximize student participation and outcomes.
• Serving as direct mentor to a small student cohort, demonstrating expert‑level coaching and motivational techniques.

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Developing lesson plans—your Guides support student learning via adaptive applications; your priority is training them to become outstanding motivators.
• Compromising on expectations—when our success benchmark is 100%, your role is to uphold that standard.
• Running uninspiring professional development—train Guides through dynamic, high‑impact, experiential learning sessions.
