The Role of an eLearning Coach
An eLearning Coach is the designated adult who will have the primary responsibility of
being actively involved in all school related work and activities. eLearning Coaches are the
primary point of contact for all teachers and school staff. A parent may designate
himself/herself as the eLearning Coach or may find another trusted family adult to serve in
this role. In all cases, the parent is ultimately responsible for ensuring adherence to school
policies.
The eLearning Coach will:
- actively monitor, assist, and motivate the student daily
- communicate regularly with the student’s teachers and their eLearning Mentor
- ensure the student is engaged and follows the weekly pacing guide(s) and schedule that
includes attending teacher required live WebEx sessions and completing weekly
assignments per program requirements
In Elementary School, the eLearning Coach will work side-by-side with the student. Each
week, the eLearning Coach will review upcoming lessons to ensure any advanced
preparation is completed and attend eLearning Coach training/support sessions via WebEx
Learning Coaches will check school communications to find exact times and online meeting
links. The eLearning Coach of an elementary student can expect to spend 3-4 hours a day
supporting the student’s education.
While students begin to gain independence in both Middle and High School, they still need consistentguidance and support from their eLearning Coach to ensure academic success. eLearning
Coaches of Middle and High School students can expect to spend 1-3 hours per day supporting their
child's education. The eLearning Coach will work closely with the student’s teachers to
monitor all aspects of a child’s online schooling experience.
