Please consider the following recommendations as you end this phase of your training:
Use the tools that you added to your Learning Coach toolbox.
Return to The Orientation Shoppe whenever you need a refresher.
Take advantage of the remaining days before lessons begin to think, plan, and discuss strategies with your child(ren) so you have everything in place for a successful year.
Be consistent in your implementation of accountability systems and monitoring routines, but be prepared (and willing) to adjust as the year progresses.
Listen to your child and observe what's happening.
Lean on your Learning Coach Support team for support and ideas.
Work closely with your child's teachers and communicate your observations when learning begins. They depend on your eyes and ears from home.
Being a part of your child's education in your capacity as a Learning Coach is a privilege that only a few people will ever have.
Prepare to enjoy the experience!
