Learning And Development Specialist, Alpha - $100,000/year USD

Ready to revolutionize education? Imagine empowering 8-year-olds to pitch to VCs and 10-year-olds to deliver TED-worthy talks. At Alpha Schools in Austin, Texas, we're not just dreaming—we're doing. Join us as a Learning and Development Specialist and be the architect of this educational paradigm shift.

You'll harness AI to craft groundbreaking workshops, test your innovations with real students, and collaborate with a team of education mavericks. This isn't about textbooks and tests; it's about equipping K-8 students with life-changing skills. You'll blend curriculum development with instructional design, focusing on practical abilities that transcend traditional academics.

If you're ready to redefine what's possible in education and transform young minds, Alpha Schools is your launchpad. Apply now and help us sculpt the leaders of tomorrow.

What you will be doing

  • Engineer a cutting-edge life skills curriculum for K-8 students, focusing on high-impact areas like public speaking, storytelling, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy
  • Develop robust, data-driven assessment systems to measure and track students' progress in these non-traditional yet crucial skills
  • Conduct real-world testing of your workshop designs, gathering actionable insights from students, parents, and on-campus observations
  • Elevate your expertise through rigorous research, trend analysis, and synthesis of diverse information to drive innovation in educational approaches
  • Collaborate with our team of education revolutionaries to ensure workshops consistently exceed expectations and achieve transformative learning outcomes

What you will NOT be doing

  • Creating fluff activities that prioritize entertainment over tangible skill development
  • Designing programs that underestimate the immense learning potential of young minds
  • Producing educational content divorced from real-world applications and impact
  • Developing passive, lecture-based learning materials that fail to engage and inspire
  • Evaluating rote academic knowledge instead of practical, life-changing skills

Key Responsibilities

Create and implement a transformative life skills curriculum that empowers K-8 students to perform at levels previously thought impossible, ensuring unparalleled student achievement and parent satisfaction.

Candidate Requirements

  • Commitment to work on-site at Alpha's Austin campus, contributing to our dynamic, innovative environment
  • Bachelor's degree in any field, demonstrating your ability to learn and excel
  • Minimum 1 year of experience crafting educational activities, workshops, or trainings, showcasing your ability to design engaging learning experiences
  • Proven track record in observing and gathering qualitative data from students/attendees to drive continuous improvement
  • Advanced proficiency in leveraging Gen AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, etc.) for independent project execution and innovation
  • Legal authorization to work in the US without visa sponsorship

This position is also known as:

  • Learning Experience Designer
  • Curriculum Developer
  • Training and Development Specialist
  • Curriculum Writer
