High School Guide

In-person, Brownsville, TX (relocation assistance available)$100,000 salary, paid weekly plus health benefits Most people in education spend their energy fighting the system. Writing lesson plans nobody reads. Sitting through faculty meetings that change nothing. You stopped believing that was the job a long time ago. The job is the kid in front of you.At Alpha, software teaches the academics. Adaptive apps move each student through subjects at their own pace. No lectures, no homework, no grading. That frees you to do the work that actually changes lives: running life skill workshops where teenagers learn public speaking, focus, and how to give and receive feedback, then coaching them one-on-one to stay motivated and hit their learning goals. Half your day is leading a room. The other half is sitting across from a student, using their Coachbot data to figure out exactly where they're stuck and why.Your students will take a mastery-based assessment after each workshop. 90%+ of them should rate you highly. 100% of them should be advancing in their apps. Those aren't aspirational numbers; they're the bar. Holding students to high standards is how you show them you believe they can get there. Along the way, you'll become an expert at designing workshops that teenagers can't wait to join, mastering cutting-edge learning software, and building lasting bonds with students and their families. Our Brownsville campus sits next to SpaceX. The frontier of education meets the frontier of space exploration, and you'll be the person delivering on Alpha's core promise: students who love school, learn twice as fast, and build skills that actually matter. If you've been waiting for a school that works the way you think school should work, this is it.What you will be doingLeading one-hour life skill workshops with high school students on topics like public speaking, focus, and giving and receiving feedback, then measuring mastery through a structured Test2Pass assessmentRunning daily motivation sessions using Coachbot analytics to connect with individual students, identify where they're stuck in their learning apps, and push them past resistanceDesigning custom motivational strategies with students, including rewards and incentives that drive self-directed progress in their academic appsReviewing curriculum and lesson plans before each session, then adapting delivery based on your read of the room What you will NOT be doingTeaching academic subjects.
