Job title: KaiPod Learning Coach Substitute (Substitute Teacher) Company: KaiPod Learning Job description : KaiPod Learning Coach Job Description POSITION SUMMARY KaiPod Learning was created to address these challenges and talented, passionate KaiPod Coaches are essential to doing so. KaiPod organizes pods of 10-12 students who live close by and are all enrolled in an online school or homeschool program. We provide a location for parents to drop their students off, and staff those locations with a KaiPod Coach. KaiPod Coaches are responsible for making the space a place where students are safe, can focus and complete assignments, and have fun together. In some ways, a KaiPod Coach is similar to a traditional teacher. Coaches truly enjoy being with young people and supporting their growth. They must have strong relationships with students and their families. They must have a high standard of excellence in terms of academic achievement and be familiar with learning standards. Coaches need to deeply know their students and connect them with educational and social experiences they will find fun and engaging. Our pods are an inclusive environment and Coaches must be able to welcome and support learners from all backgrounds. In many ways being a KaiPod Coach is not like being a traditional teacher at all. KaiPod students are enrolled in an online school/homeschool program with its own curriculum and teachers. KaiPod Coaches are responsible for learning the ins and outs of each student's academic program and creating plans to support each child in meeting their academic goals. Responsibilities will include goal setting, personalized check-ins, and individualized coaching. To support students socially, the Coach has a responsibility to create opportunities for socialization through facilitated play and planned enrichments. As a Coach, you have more flexibility and autonomy than a traditional teacher to do what you believe is best for the students in your pod. If there's a new exhibit at a local museum you want to take the students to, you can make that happen. If enough students in the pod love legos, you can create a Lego League team.
