Job description
\"We are never going to lower the standard for any kid — instead we're going to raise the support to help them get there.\"
— Braden, Head Guide, Alpha Austin
Alpha is hiring.
In person at an Alpha campus in Austin, TX or Scottsdale (Phoenix), AZ — relocation support provided
$150,000/year
Full-time
Most elementary schools lower the bar when a child struggles. You raise it. You believe a six-year-old is capable of far more than a traditional classroom ever asks of them, and you have used data to prove it more than once.
Alpha runs on a two-hour learning model. Adaptive apps teach academics in the morning, which clears your day for the work that actually changes a child's life: motivation, life skills, coaching, and accountability. You personally own a cohort of K-3 students while coaching the Guides (Alpha's term for the adults who coach and inspire the kids) responsible for their daily progress. You stay hands-on every day, not managing from an office down the hall.
A normal day moves between three things. You read performance data and Coachbot analytics to find which students and Guides are off track. You run coaching conversations that send people away with a specific next step instead of vague encouragement. And you hold the attention of a room full of five- to nine-year-olds through a workshop on public speaking, focus, or giving and receiving feedback.
As you discover what works, you write it down. The playbooks you build become the standard every other Guide follows, so your impact grows from one cohort to the whole level. Proving you can scale that excellence is how you grow into bigger leadership here.
What You Will Be Doing
As Program Director, you coach Guides and students using performance data, classroom observation, and direct feedback, then hold both accountable to measurable goals
Facilitating one-hour live workshops for K-3 students on life skills such as public speaking, focus, collaboration, resilience, accountability, and giving and receiving feedback
Running individual and small-group motivation sessions that connect each child's goals and interests to real academic progress
Building and refining playbooks that turn your best practices into repeatable systems other Guides can execute consistentlyi>
Training Guides on those playbooks and modeling excellence in facilitation so standards hold as the team growsi>
What You Won’t Be Doing
Delivering academic instruction or lecturing from the front of the room; adaptive apps teach the content while you coach the humans
Lowering expectations when a student struggles
Supervising from a distance the way instructional coaches and principals do; you stay embedded with your own cohort daily
Owning the entire campus's budget, operations, and parent relationships; a Campus Lead carries that so you can stay focused on student and Guide outcomes
Defending traditional teaching methods or following a conventional K-12 curriculum
Program Director Key Responsibilities
Deliver Alpha's three promises to every K-3 student: they love school, learn twice as fast, and build exceptional life skills and independence.
