The standard for gifted education is usually a slightly harder worksheet. You know that. You were one of those students. You've seen what they're capable of when someone refuses to accept the usual ceiling. That's the job here: push gifted K-12 students to complete high school 5-10x faster than traditional schooling while developing emotional intelligence and life skills most adults never master. The school handles academic delivery through adaptive software. Your job is everything the apps can't do: coaching students through resistance, running mastery-based life skill workshops, and holding a standard where 90% satisfaction and 100% goal attainment aren't targets to aspire to. They're the floor.


Most days split between two types of work. First: one-hour life skill workshops (public speaking, focus, giving and receiving feedback), structured, hands-on, and assessed via a mastery test that students either pass or retake. Second: motivation sessions where you review Coachbot analytics, connect with students on their individual goals, and use age-appropriate incentives (school currency, leaderboards) to push through the moments when kids want to coast. Both are measured. Satisfaction scores and app advancement rates tell you how well you're coaching - not how much content you covered.


The trajectory is explicit. Strong performers move into senior coaching roles, managing a team while continuing to run their own student cohort. Those who deliver at scale become Campus Leads, owning the full school operation, parent relationships, and site outcomes. This is a performance track. The ceiling is set entirely by what you can deliver.


If you want to be the reason a student finishes high school by 8th grade and knows how to manage their time, take hard feedback, and present confidently to a room, apply. If you need a lecture format and a static curriculum to feel effective, stop here.

What you will be doing

• Running one-hour life skill workshops on topics like public speaking, focus, and giving and receiving feedback, delivered hands-on and project-based, with each session closed by a mastery assessment (Test2Pass) that students must pass to advance
• Leading daily motivation sessions: reviewing Coachbot analytics, connecting with each student's personal goals, and using level-appropriate incentives to push through resistance and hit weekly advancement targets
• Personalizing your coaching approach using generative AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) to adapt sessions to individual student profiles and learning patterns
• Reviewing curriculum and lesson plans before each session to deliver engaging, playbook-compliant workshops that students rate highly
• Tracking satisfaction scores and app advancement metrics and adjusting your approach when the data shows students aren't advancing or aren't engaged

What you will NOT be doing

• Delivering academic content, tutoring, or explaining curriculum - students learn through self-guided apps; your role is coaching and motivation, not instruction
• Being pressured to pass a student who hasn't demonstrated mastery: the standard holds regardless of how close they came
• Managing classroom behavior: these are gifted, motivated students; behavioral disruption isn't the primary challenge you're solving
• Building lesson plans from scratch: the curriculum and playbooks exist; your job is to execute them at a high level, not redesign them
• Grading papers, managing administrative paperwork, or attending planning meetings that don't connect to student outcomes
