The most supportive thing you can do for a kid who hit 99% of their goal is refuse to call it done. Alpha isn't a traditional school. Students master a full day of academics in about two hours through adaptive software. Your job is the part technology can't do: coaching Pre-K through 8th graders on life skills like public speaking, focus, and giving and receiving feedback. Half your day, you run hands-on workshops using structured playbooks and storytelling. The other half, you sit with students 1:1 or in small groups, review their progress in adaptive learning apps through Coachbot analytics, and push them to hit 100% of their weekly goals. Running daily 1:1 and small-group motivation sessions where you review each student's progress in adaptive learning apps (using Coachbot analytics), set goals, and push them to hit 100% of their weekly targets
