Academic Coaching provides students from elementary school to university the opportunity to learn the tools and strategies they need in order to succeed, essentially helping them learn how to learn and make good choices. Focus is placed on strengthening executive function and academic skills to support the development of self-management, independence and self-esteem.
What happens in an Academic Coaching session?
Academic Coaching sessions are tailored to meet the individual needs of students through the integration and application of crucial executive function skills and active learning methods. Students attend sessions on the same day at the same time each week and work with their coach to (a) learn strategies to help them manage, approach, and complete their schoolwork, and (b) implement these strategies during session times. Students will also be provided with schedules, tools, and strategies to implement in-between sessions. With parent support, implementation and integration into the student’s daily life can occur.
