As certified teachers we understand the academic rigor that is expected of secondary students which needs to be balanced with the mental health and development of pre-teens and teenagers. Our experience in the classroom allows us to transform our coaching approach into a more positive learning environment where students can feel that they have the skills to learn but just need to understand how to apply them. We help them do that successfully.
As certified teachers we understand how elementary school students learn and develop. Also we have specialized training in both reading/writing (literacy) and math. This allows us to coach students to their strengths while remediating their weaker areas of learning.
There are two options. You can sign up for another course (which can be the course that was just completed because the content will be different) or you can opt-in a quarter or a semester of sessions at a designated time. These can either be remote or in-person.
Parent(s) need to sign a release from at the school to allow the educational coach to communicate with teacher(s). Once that is done most communication occurs through email unless a teacher prefers a phone call.
The only difference is how the content is delivered. For remote sessions the interaction is either through Google Meet, Zoom or Skype. Interactive tools are used to enhance understanding and documents are shared between coach and student(s). In-person we are face-to-face speaking to one another and able to use both technology along with paper and pencil.
There is an online messaging system that is unique to Lauren M Rand Consulting LLC that allows two-way communication with the educational coach.
Updates from each session will be provided within 48 hours in the online messaging system that you can access through your account.
Tutoring is providing short-term solutions such as the answer to the questions on the homework. Educational coaching is getting to know a student’s strengths and weaknesses and teaching her/him how to apply those strengths along with study skills to content areas so the he/she can successfully learn independently.
