Learning Coaches

               The Orbis Learning Coaches will be highly
               skilled educators who have significant
               experience as a classroom educator, have
               shown themselves to value life-long
               learning through graduate degrees or
               other demonstrations, and are
               participating in ongoing training in the science of learning, adolescent behaviors, and learning
               technology. To ensure the continued effectiveness of the Learning Coach, OLC will provide monthly
               professional learning opportunities and require participation as a condition of employment.

               Wellness Coaches

               The Wellness Coaches will be highly skilled educators who provide guidance about college and career
               choices, community engagement, personal responsibility, and civic readiness. They will have significant
                                                     experience as a school or college guidance professional,
                                                     career counselor, or personal counselor. The Wellness Coach
                                                     will also be committed to the pursuit of a well-adjusted and
                                                     productive life and will maintain currency on all areas of

                                                     responsibility, including any professional licensure. To ensure
                                                     their continued effectiveness, OLC will provide regular
                                                     professional learning opportunities and require participation
                                                     as a condition of employment.

               Coach Training
               The OLC Learning Coach and Wellness Coach training will use as its foundation the Learning Domains
               identified in the Education Reimagined Vision; Knowledge, Skills, and Dispositions. Although this

               theoretical framework of learning is well researched
               and embraced, it is also understood that research
               and experience will continue to inform our
               understanding. Therefore, using this framework as
               the foundation for training does not preclude
               additional theoretical perspectives to inform the
               training program.
