for time management, commitment to tasks necessary for successful completion of the online course
work, and appropriate social and interpersonal behavior. The subject area knowledge acquisition will be
provided via online courses with learner having access to subject area expert teachers.

Therefore, the primary training focus for the Learning Coach and the Wellness Coach is to have a solid
foundation in theoretical perspectives related to the science of learning, human development,
motivation, and self-management. More specifically, the Learning Coaches and Wellness Coaches will be
trained to nurture and assist learners in the attainment of the Skills and Dispositions.

Schedule

To accommodate the needs of enrolled learners, the Orbis Learner Community will not always require a
static schedule of attendance. However, it is expected that each learner will construct an attendance
schedule, in consultation with the Learning Coach, to create the appropriate structure and time
necessary for success and consistent with accreditation standards for time-on-task. For learners whose
circumstances involve travel or other events that restricts their attendance at the learner community,
there will be an expectation to establish an equivalent learning schedule with their Learning Coach.
When the learner is traveling or working remotely, virtual discussions will occur between the learner
and Learning Coach at least once per school day.

Conclusion

The Orbis Learner Community is the entry into the matrix of educational options that can serve those
not well-served by traditional schools, and in doing so quite possibly make traditional schools “gravitate”
into its orbit.
