| We train our Academic Coaches to support students by assisting them with a variety of tasks that support educational success.
If you care about the welfare of children, and |
| • |
|
You can do math (simple problems like fractions and decimals or higher level Algebra and Geometry), |
| ...then you have what it takes to be a volunteer academic coach in our program. |
| • |
|
Three hours of training |
| • |
|
One per week of coaching, at your convenience, during school hours (8:30-3:30) |
| • |
|
Coaching every week for one school year (you may start any time) |
|
To help ensure a good experience for you and your student, we provide multiple training sessions where you will: |
| • |
|
Meet Others Like Yourself: Successful coaches have wonderful stories to share about their experience. |
| • |
|
Learn to Connect with Students: Do you know what is on the minds of middle school students today? Have you had experience with children of another
race or income level? Making a good connection facilitates the learning process. |
| • |
|
Review Planning Materials: Academic Coaching is a process of meeting with the student’s teacher, planning the sessions, gathering materials,
assisting the student and evaluating progress. |
| • |
|
Get Great Tips: Knowing how to read or do math doesn’t automatically make someone a good academic coach. We will help you become an effective
coach—so you can feel successful. |
| • |
|
Receive Useful Handouts: Everything you need to get started in one handy reference manual, including tips for connecting with students, literacy and
math techniques and school calendar. |
