Job Description
• On-site in Georgetown, Texas, 30 minutes from Austin, relocation assistance available
• $100,000 annually, paid each week, with health, dental, and vision coverage starting day one
• Full-time, 40-hour-per-week position at one of the world's most forward-thinking schools
You hold the belief that a gifted six-year-old is capable of learning algebra, and that most traditional schools prevent her from even attempting it. If that belief unsettles you, this position is not the right fit. If it is precisely why you entered education, continue reading.
At gt.school, students do not sit passively and receive instruction. They progress through adaptive learning software that enables them to learn five to ten times faster than conventional classrooms permit. This allows you to focus on the work that truly transforms a child: teaching them life skills, inspiring them to pursue ambitious goals, and upholding standards high enough that they strive to reach them. You are not delivering the academic curriculum. You are the reason a seven-year-old is driven to surpass her previous achievement.
Your workday revolves around small cohorts rather than a classroom of thirty students. You may facilitate a one-hour workshop on concentration or public speaking in the morning, then meet individually in the afternoon with a student facing difficulty. You will leverage real-time analytics to identify the incentive that re-engages a hesitant learner. On some days a child resists, and your responsibility is to win them over while maintaining expectations. Maintaining that standard is how you demonstrate to a child that you believe in their ability to meet it.
Guide a cohort effectively and advancement follows. Lead Guides mentor the rest of the staff on motivation and expectations. Campus Leads oversee an entire school. This role marks the beginning of that trajectory.
Bring your commitment and your high standards. Apply today.
What You Will Be Doing
• Facilitate one-hour life skill workshops for small cohorts of gifted five- to eight-year-olds, teaching concentration, self-regulation, public speaking, and giving and receiving feedback
• Conduct one-on-one and small-group motivation sessions that drive every student toward ambitious goals within their adaptive learning applications
• Study the life skills curriculum and lesson plans, then present them with narrative and enthusiasm rather than reading from a script
• Administer and oversee Test2Pass mastery assessments, promoting only those students who have truly mastered the material
• Review student profiles, interests, and Coachbot analytics to select the right incentive, such as school currency or leaderboards, that engages each individual child
What You Won’t Be Doing
• Delivering lectures from the front of a traditional classroom. Academic instruction occurs through the software, and you guide students through the process
• Developing or following a rigid curriculum. The applications adjust to each individual child, so you are never teaching to an average
• Overseeing a classroom of thirty students. You engage with small cohorts where every child is personally recognized
• Supervising children on computers passively. Watching screens without active engagement is the antithesis of this position
• Advancing students who have not demonstrated mastery in order to maintain favorable weekly metrics
