As you learned in "Phase I -- Orientation", a Designated Learning Coach is someone other than the parent or guardian who functions as the child's Learning Coach. (Parents and legal guardians are automatically Learning Coaches.)
As you learned in "Phase I -- Orientation", a Designated Learning Coach is someone other than the parent or guardian who functions as the child's Learning Coach. (Parents and legal guardians are automatically Learning Coaches.)
Here are some additional facts about the Designated Learning Coach role:
A Designated Learning Coach must be a legal adult. A parent or guardian must authorize UVA to speak with the Designated Learning Coach about the child's progress. The required form is at the bottom of this page. It keeps us in compliance with federal (FERPA) guidelines for the safety of minors.
When the form is processed by Student Services:
We create a Remind account for the Designated Learning Coach.
The Learning Coach Partner contacts the Designated Learning Coach via Remind and other methods when required. Onboarding begins at that time.
The Learning Coach Partner notifies the parent or guardian that onboarding has begun for the designate.
We notify the Advisory teacher, counselor, and supervising teachers that a designated Learning Coach is coming onboard.
A Designated Learning Coach receives the same training you receive. When the Observer account is created by your designate, both of you will receive school communications.

IMPORTANT:
Parents and guardians do not lose their Canvas Observer accounts if a Designated Learning Coach is appointed. You will continue to receive school communications unless you choose not to. We recommend that you stay connected and informed if you appoint a Designated Learning Coach.
We do not recommend that you relinquish oversight of your child's education to your designate. Monitor your designate's activities. Monitor your child's grades. Read all communications to stay informed. Speak with your designate if you read school communications that indicate action needs to be taken or if you see grades that are concerning. Reach out to your Learning Coach Partner if you have concerns or think your designate needs additional support.
If you are designating someone else to function as your child's Learning Coach and have not submitted the required form already, please read below and submit the form now. Allow your designate to have time to get trained before the student begins assignments.
Please read the descriptions of the forms carefully so that the correct form is submitted to Student Services if you intend to appoint a Designated Learning Coach for your child.
The parent/guardian and the Designated Learning Coach must sign the form after agreeing to the responsibilities listed.
Return instructions are at the top of page 1 of the form. We recommend that you email the form and copy your Learning Coach Partner to keep the Learning Coach Support team informed.
