  • Support students in navigating academic challenges, managing assignments, and breaking tasks into manageable steps.
  • Provide guidance on study skills, test-taking strategies, note-taking techniques, and the development of effective academic habits.
  • Monitor student progress and adjust coaching strategies based on individual needs and outcomes.
  • Maintain clear documentation of student progress and outcomes and participate in regular meetings to review goals and provide updates.

  • Knowledge of individualized education plans (IEPs) and 504 plans, including experience with developing and implementing accommodations and modifications.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with students, parents, and school staff.
  • Strong problem-solving abilities and a flexible, student-centered approach.
  • Ability to build rapport with students and create a safe, supportive learning environment.

Preferred Skills and Experience:

  • Familiarity with assistive technology tools and software that support executive functioning (e.g., apps for time management, organization, or goal setting).
  • Experience facilitating small group sessions or workshops on executive functioning and academic success.
  • Training in mindfulness, self-regulation, or social-emotional learning (SEL) techniques is a plus.
  • Ability to assess student needs and adapt strategies to diverse learning styles and profiles.
