Academic Coaches

 

     The Academic Coaches program consists of former educators who assist Waldorf College students with learning disabilities in developing study habits and skills.  The program was launched in 2004, and currently consists of 6 volunteers who assist 6 students.

     The Academic Coaches program has made a strong impact on each student.  The year-end test scores indicated that 67% of the students paired with an Academic Coach improved their GPA by one point or more over the semester.

"In talking with my student today and he indicted that being accountable to someone was important to his progress. He also said he got a B in Chemistry, and has done well in his other courses. That is what I call a successful semester; I believe he had a solid F in chemistry when we started."
