Unlock Your Child鈥檚 Full Potential

The right guidance goes a long way. As your child鈥檚 Learning Coach, you鈥檒l help keep your student connected and productive and:鈥�

  • Provide academic support, motivation, and direction throughout the school year
  • Ensure your child stays on track with assignments and coursework
  • Communicate with your child鈥檚 teachers
  • Report daily attendance (if required by your school)

Take a Front Row Seat

A Learning Coach鈥檚 time commitment and daily tasks vary depending on their child鈥檚 grade level, but all Learning Coaches share a few basic responsibilities:鈥�

  • Making sure your student attends live classes and completes schoolwork on time
  • Following attendance policies and communicating directly with teachers and staff as needed
  • Building in healthy breaks throughout the day 
  • Encouraging student socialization outside of class time

If you鈥檙e the Learning Coach of a student with exceptional needs, your IEP team will provide additional personalized support.
