Academic Coahing as a Systems Lever for Student Independence

Monday February 8, 2027 10:30am - 11:15am EST

Clarify what academic coaching is and what it is not (how it differs from tutoring, homework help, counseling, advising, MTSS/RTI, and specialized intervention).

Understand the areas academic coaching can address (executive functioning, planning, task initiation, organization, study strategies, self-monitoring, metacognition, self-advocacy, and ownership) and where "teaching moments" come in before handing thinking back

Identify which student needs are best matched to academic coaching and which needs may require a different support, intervention, or system.

Consider how academic coaching can help students translate support into daily academic behaviors and increasing independence.

Reflect on where academic coaching fits within a school’s broader student support structure and how it can strengthen, rather than replace, the work already happening.

Begin thinking about what structures are needed to make academic coaching more coordinated, sustainable, and independence-centered.
