Description
"This is not a school that is replacing teachers. This is not a threat to teachers in any way, shape, or form. This is reimagining what a teacher can be."
— Sam DePalo, Lead Guide, Alpha Fort Worth Texas
Alpha is hiring.
This is for someone who can keep a room full of K-8 students moving, focused, and on track—without needing to be the person writing the lesson. You will be in motion all day. You will redirect in real time. If you want a quiet job where you stand back and observe, this is not it.
Alpha is a non-traditional private school built around AI-powered, mastery-based learning. Students move fast, and the day only works when operations are tight. This is an on-site, full-time role (40 hours/week) at an Alpha campus, open to candidates authorized to work in the U.S. without visa sponsorship. Compensation is $75,000/year.
You will own the execution details that make great instruction possible: smooth classroom transitions, materials ready before lessons start, and students engaged so the Guide (Alpha's term for teacher) can keep teaching. Success is measurable here—95%+ on-time transitions and 90%+ student satisfaction each semester.
If you take pride in structure, responsiveness, and positive control—and you want real classroom experience inside a modern learning model—apply now.
What you will be doing
- Run tight, on-time transitions between activities by monitoring the clock, prompting students, and keeping movement orderly
- Prepare and set up complete, accurate classroom materials before each activity so lessons start clean and stay on plan
- Monitor student engagement during lessons and activities and use Alpha-approved techniques to redirect resistance or off-task behavior in the moment
- Reinforce expectations and routines so the Guide can teach without stopping to regain control
What you will NOT be doing
- Design lesson plans or own curriculum decisions
- Sit behind a desk while behavior issues build up; you will step in early and often
- Work in a low-interaction environment; this is hands-on, student-facing work all day
- Be the primary motivational lead for a cohort; you support execution and engagement while the Guide leads instruction
Key responsibilities
Ensure 95%+ on-time classroom transitions and 90%+ student satisfaction each semester by eliminating operational gaps so Guides can stay focused on instruction.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in any subject
- At least 1 year leading or supervising groups of K-8 students in a structured setting (school, camp, tutoring, coaching, childcare, or after-school program), with responsibility for daily routines and student engagement
- Demonstrated ability to maintain structure, consistency, and positive engagement in group settings
- Comfortable actively redirecting and motivating children throughout the school day
- At least 1 year handling daily operational tasks, with a record of completing time-sensitive work reliably
- Willing to work in person at an Alpha campus
- Authorized to work in the U.S. without current or future visa sponsorship
