Session Information
“Academic Coaching” Session Outline
Check In
Students report on successes and struggles over the last week, and expectations for the session.
Update +Plan
As we review the GRADEBOOK, EMAILS from teachers, and CLASS AGENDAS, students update their planner with with tasks and important dates, and email teachers as needed. This process is modeled, then prompted, and becomes student-led.
Skill Build
Most time is spent working collaboratively on predetermined tasks, including: understanding assignment instructions + expectations and beginning work, AND preparing for tests by compiling materials, creating resources, and detailing study plans.
Sessions end by reviewing the expectations/plans for the week. Following the session, I follow up with parents and teachers as-needed to support next steps.
