How Can I Help My Student With
Online Learning?
During online instruction, each student will need the support of a Learning Coach, typically the parent or guardian, who is involved in the student's learning at home. As students progress in their success with online learning there is an increase in independence.

Provide a quiet and organized space for online learning.
Guide the student through the lessons, tools, and assignments as needed.
Oversee assignments and help facilitate hands-on learning.
Check for understanding and discuss concepts being taught.
Keep the student on schedule and on pace.
Ensure all components are done with fidelity.
Communicate with the teacher as needed.
