What We Can Do Individually For Our Parents and Students:
Episodic Coaching
All parents want their children to feel joyful and happy about learning. When a parent or grandparent is aware their child is not meeting their full potential, they often feel helpless. Many times what is needed is they just need a little support and guidance for the student to move forward confidently and successfully.
Student-Specific Work Plans Based on Educational Reports and Goal Setting:
Short term (Summer Program) June 10th via Aug. 2020. or Aug. 2021 through Aug. 2022 school calendar year model offers an individualized program where Academic Coaching marries school and areas that are deficit areas are addressed and strengths are celebrated and used as foundation for further growth.
Assessments
Analyzing MAPS reports parents have been given so that both students and parents understand their specific performance and the subset skills needing development. Oftentimes, this is managed by requesting a specific report from your child's
For interested parents, I am able to administer hard copy assessments (DRA’s) (Singapore Math Placement) to establish levels, further clarify strengths, challenges, and help us set student-specific goals that can be progress-monitored. The results seen include a hard copy of the test and the test-taking process, not just the end result. Using this model, the student visually can witness his own academic growth.

Curriculum Advisement
Educational Coaching addresses building good thinking skills and habits. Ed Coaching builds positive communication and self-respect for the individual child. As your Ed Coach, we will make recommendations suggest guidelines, products, or mention avenues of direction or organization that will enhance your child's learning.
Progress Monitoring
Progress Monitoring on a bi-weekly basis their class course work, the assigned homework, and the number of completed assignments turned in. This also includes twice-weekly monitoring of the grades on Infinite Campus.
Online Educational Coaching Sites
Ed Coaching can provide limited memberships/license advisement regarding different online education sites. These sites coupled with oversite support can greatly enhance your child's individualized educational experience. As I have said before, what may be right for one student is not necessarily right for another.
