We encourage every adult that is associated with a UVA student to read through the contents of The Orientation Shoppe, Learning Coach Corner's anchor section. It explains the Learning Coach role in depth and provides resources and information that can be used throughout your journey at UVA. The Orientation Shoppe is the core component of "Phase III -- In-Depth Learning Coach Training" in the UVA Onboarding Course. We are confident that you will find the information interesting and useful. Even our experienced Learning Coaches will get a good refresher.
In the UVA Onboarding Course for new families, Learning Coaches were instructed to create the Canvas Observer account. The Observer account is important for your success and your child's success because it provides a monitoring report that is not available in the student's account. It also establishes a necessary communication channel between the school and the Learning Coach. These and other important Canvas features are addressed in the Canvas Pavilion.
Technology Mart is a rich resource full of tips that address common tech questions and issues. Topics range from laptop usage to the Remind communications platform. Browse the topics to familiarize yourself with them, and remember to check Technology Mart when a tech issue surfaces.
