Graduation Coach

At Acceleration Academies, we partner with school districts to support Graduation Candidates in earning their high school diploma through flexible scheduling, personalized learning, and a focus on outcomes. Our approach is designed to meet Graduation Candidates (Students) where they are and help them make meaningful progress toward graduation and long-term success. Every student deserves the chance to walk across the stage and experience the pride, relief, and sense of accomplishment that comes with it. We are committed to providing the support and partnership to help make that possible.

• Track students' grades, attendance, and behavior to identify potential issues before they become barriers to graduation, and intervene early when students show signs of falling behind.
• Facilitate interventions based on trends identified as potential setbacks to academic achievement.
• Collect student academic achievement data from the LMS weekly and document responses, including contact with the GC, communication with the corresponding Content Coach on low-achievement data, and revisions to the GC schedule to foster additional learning opportunities.

• Identify external factors affecting students' academic performance, such as family problems, mental health challenges, or socioeconomic difficulties.
• Connect students with services that help address these barriers so they can focus on academics.

• Facilitate communication between students, teachers, and parents to create a support network that reinforces academic achievement and consistent messaging.

• Help students explore career paths based on their interests, strengths, and academic performance, and set clear career goals.
• Provide learning opportunities in test-taking strategies, math basics, and resume writing, and prepare students for the state career assessment, college and job applications, the ASVAB, and other postsecondary readiness assessments.
• Provide guidance on college applications, scholarships, apprenticeships, and job opportunities.
• Help students build soft skills such as communication, problem-solving, teamwork, and time management.
• Connect students with internships, job shadowing, and career exploration programs.
• Monitor progress and adjust academic plans to align with the skills and qualifications needed for students' career goals.
