Learning Guide, Alpha - $120,000/year USD

Education, Project Management, and Strategy/Planning
3+ years
The most transformative move you can make in education is to stop teaching. Not to stop investing in students—to stop lecturing. To stop positioning yourself at the front of a classroom presenting material that adaptive algorithms present more effectively, efficiently, and individually than any person ever could. If that statement triggers resistance, this role won't suit you. If it sparks interest, continue reading.
Alpha School operates on a framework where academic content is delivered through AI-driven applications, freeing your time to focus on capabilities software cannot replicate: public speaking, concentration, perseverance, and the practice of giving and receiving constructive feedback. Your role isn't lesson delivery. It's facilitation. You guide. You inspire a compact group of K-12 learners to pursue challenging weekly objectives, and you enforce accountability with the same rigor you apply to yourself. Students who rate their Guide most favorably aren't those with the most lenient Guide. They're those whose Guide respected them enough to maintain expectations.
Your inaugural year centers on skill mastery: internalizing Alpha's motivational framework, cultivating bonds with your cohort, and discovering how to ensure 100% of your learners achieve their targets each week. Once you demonstrate your ability to uphold standards while earning student trust, advancement to Lead Guide becomes possible—coaching other Guides while continuing to support your own students. Alpha is expanding to additional campuses, and those who exemplify excellence now will become the architects of its future growth.
If traditional education left you convinced something fundamental was missing, or if you've never worked in schools but always knew you could alter a young person's path, this is the environment where that conviction becomes your profession.
