Learning Coaches

Learning Coaches

All virtual students are required to have a learning coach. A learning coach is a responsible adult who will ensure the students log into their classes with cameras on and complete work daily. We need all learning coaches to examine your students' learning environment. We are witnessing excessive noise in students’ backgrounds that hinders their class participation and causes disruption for their classmates. Learning coaches are teacher assistants at home. Learning coaches should not engage with a teacher online during class time. Interrupting a live class compromises the safety and security of the online environment. We are thankful for all of our learning coaches. You make a difference!
