Learning Coach Information

What are the Learning Coach essentials? 
  • Learning Coaches carry out educational tasks to support their students. 
  • The Learning Coach can be a caretaker or another responsible adult chosen by the caretaker. 
  • Learning Coaches are more involved in their student’s education than parents of students in a traditional school. 
  • Virtual school uses an independent learning model with a high degree of involvement from the parent in addition to support from the teachers. 
  • Having a good grasp of technology is essential to coaching your virtual school student. 

What tasks can I expect to complete each day?
  • Communicate with teachers and school staff.
  • Maintain the learning space and supplies.
  • ​Discuss daily lesson requirements and other activity commitments with your student to create a weekly plan.
  • Follow the school’s directions to record attendance and ensure your student completes all daily lessons.
  • ​​Oversee daily lesson completion and monitor student comprehension of lesson content.
  • Approve lessons, affirming your student completed each lesson with the appropriate level of time and effort.
  • ​​Monitor progress and grades.

As a caretaker, how do I designate a Learning Coach for my student?
Call 1-800-382-6010 if you would like to designate a learning coach other than yourself! 

Where do I find support and training for the Learning Coach Role?
