Learning Coach University -- PLEASE promote this to your families
Our schools are very excited to present this online class to help prepare our families for the rigors of schooling in an online public school. This is a program that families will be able to come back and reference throughout the school year, and can access this course on a computer or with mobile devices.
A family can access this course through our district website OR you can share the link below with families. This is a GREAT resource for new families and they should be encouraged to complete and get their certification. This is also a GREAT refresher for your returning families- they should also get their certification. Advisors will be notified when families have completed this as well. This is another tool to help our families get connected with our school and excited to engage.
If you have questions on this program or need further information contact Daisha Oshiro at daoshiro@k12.com.
