Learning Guide, Alpha - $100,000/year USD

On‑site in Springfield, MA (relocation assistance available) $100,000 annual salary, disbursed weekly. Full health, dental, and vision coverage begins day one Do you recognize when a student reaches 99% of their target and refuse to accept that as completion? The most meaningful support you can offer a child who achieves 99% is to insist on the full 100%. If that expectation feels uncomfortable, this position is not the right fit. If it energizes you—because you understand that maintaining high standards demonstrates your belief in a student's capability—continue reading. Alpha operates differently from conventional schools. Students complete a full academic day in roughly two hours using adaptive software. No classroom lectures. No printed textbooks. Your role addresses what technology cannot: developing life skills in Pre‑K through 8th grade students—public speaking, concentration, and feedback exchange. You will spend half your time facilitating hands‑on workshops guided by structured playbooks and narrative techniques. The remaining time involves working with students individually or in small groups, analyzing their adaptive learning progress via Coachbot analytics, and ensuring they achieve 100% of weekly objectives. Mastery is validated through Test2Pass assessments, not participation metrics. This is specialized work. Your first year centers on playbook mastery: facilitating workshops, conducting motivation sessions, overseeing mastery assessments, and demonstrating your ability to maintain 100% goal attainment across all students. Success in these areas creates advancement opportunities to Lead Guide.
