Description

Reporting to the Director of Interventions and Student Success, Academic Coaches are responsible for comprehensive student outreach through specific interventions workflows, with the goal of high rates of participation in the Academic Coaching Program.

To accomplish this, an Academic Coach must help identified students articulate a personal and academic vision, and then lead students through the planning and implementation of a program of personal and academic development.

An Academic Coach must have the ability to quickly form relational bonds with a wide range of students, as well as the capacity to flexibly craft personalized courses of action for each student.

An Academic Coach will identify areas of student need; assist the student in generating strategic short-term and long-term action plans; help the student develop goal-oriented processes; support the student as they adjust goals and expectations; provide benchmarks and accountability as students work toward their self-identified goals.

Academic Coaches are expected to regularly collaborate with faculty, academic and career advisors, and other student services, as needed; monitor student progress; process data related to student outcomes; participate in weekly coaching-specific case-reviews, professional development, and strategic planning; contribute to overall office management as part of an active team member.
