Job Description

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a full-time, on-site position at our Austin, Texas campus.

Imagine a world where 8-year-olds confidently pitch business ideas to venture capitalists, and 10-year-olds deliver TED-style talks that leave adults in awe. At Alpha Schools, we're not just imagining it - we're making it happen. And we need your creative genius to take it to the next level.

In this role, you'll harness cutting-edge AI to craft mind-blowing workshops, pilot your creations with real students, and collaborate with a team of education revolutionaries. You'll blend elements of curriculum development and instructional design, focusing on practical life skills rather than academic subjects. With greater autonomy and emphasis on innovation, you'll leverage technology and data-driven iteration to continuously refine and improve your designs.

If you're ready to shape the future of education and empower K-8 students with essential life skills, apply now and join Alpha in reimagining learning!

What you will be doing

  • Developing a comprehensive, engaging life skills curriculum for K-8 students, focusing on areas such as public speaking, storytelling, entrepreneurship, and financial acumen
  • Designing objective and reliable assessment systems, utilizing standardized testing methodologies, to evaluate baseline skills, progress, and mastery in non-traditional educational areas
  • Piloting new workshop designs with real students, conducting on-campus observations, gathering student insights, and collecting parent feedback to continuously refine and improve workshop designs
  • Building your personal expertise through research, best practices, and trend analysis (RBHT), synthesizing diverse information to create innovative insights and approaches
  • Collaborating with team members and facilitators to ensure workshops exceed quality expectations and achieve learning objectives

What you will NOT be doing

  • Creating activities that prioritize entertainment over skill development
  • Designing programs that underestimate children's learning potential
  • Producing educational content that doesn't translate to real-world applications
  • Developing passive, lecture-based learning materials
  • Evaluating academic knowledge rather than practical skills

Key Responsibilities

Create a highly engaging and rigorous life skills curriculum, enabling kids to achieve tasks that seem impossible for their age and ensuring student and parent satisfaction.

Candidate Requirements

  • Willing to work in-person at Alpha's Austin campus
  • Bachelor's degree in any field
  • At least 1 year of experience creating educational activities, workshops, or trainings in any field
  • Experience observing and gathering qualitative data and feedback from students/attendees
  • Proficiency using Gen AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, etc.) for independent project execution
  • Legal right to work in the US without visa sponsorship

This position is also known as:

  • Learning Experience Designer
  • Curriculum Developer
  • Learning And Development Specialist
  • Curriculum Writer
  • Curriculum Designer
  • Instructional Designer
