What To Expect

What is a Learning Coach?

Simply put, a Connections Academy Learning Coach is a parent, caregiver, or other trusted adult who actively supports their student’s learning at home. After all, you know what your child needs. What excites them. What challenges them. What they dream of when they imagine their future.

Daily Learning Coach Tasks By Grade Level

Helping Your Child Succeed

What should you expect? You’ll be able to provide your child with a level of support and guidance that no one else can, and you’ll get to watch them learn, progress, and succeed. 

Learning Coaches are responsible for structuring their child’s school day—a task made simple with our online scheduling tool. You’ll also monitor attendance, stay in touch with teachers by phone or email, and provide one-on-one support with learning activities. However, the specifics of your role will shift as your child grows older and gains more independence.

  • Schedule your child’s day with school activities and breaks

  • Celebrate their achievements and encourage them to keep going
