The most helpful thing you can do when a six-year-old is stuck is to refuse to give them the answer. Instead, you guide them to figure it out themselves. If that approach feels uncomfortable to you, this role isn't a fit.
Alpha operates differently from traditional schools. Students work through academics using adaptive software at their own pace. There are no lectures, no worksheets, and no uniform pacing for the whole class. Your role is to ensure a small group of K-2 students loves coming in each morning, reaches their learning targets every week, and develops life skills that many adults never acquire.
You'll facilitate hands-on workshops on public speaking, focus, and giving and receiving feedback with five-, six-, and seven-year-olds. You'll guide students as they use their learning apps—not by providing answers, but by helping them build problem-solving habits that allow them to persevere independently. When 100% of your students meet their weekly targets and 90% rate you as someone they love working with, you'll have confirmation you're succeeding.
This is not supervising children on computers. It's high-accountability coaching where each student's progress is measured, every session has a trackable outcome, and your impact appears in the data, not just sentiment. If you believe children have unlimited potential and that traditional schooling limits them, this is your opportunity to demonstrate it.
