Academic Coaches
Academic Coaches make up a large portion of our staff at GOAL High School and they have a very important role in the success of students. ACs engage students, collaborate with other staff to support student success, provide outreach and support services, and respond to the needs of students. The work of our ACs helps to ensure that every student can reach their personal and program goals.
Because ACs are so important in the success of students, we hope to provide the support and training needed to make sure they are continually growing. To do this we attempt to offer sessions every month during Gladiator Forum that support ACs in their growth as well as Academic Coach Training days that are set aside each school year.

Resources for Academic Coaches
The Learning and Development SharePoint
We house videos of trainings and other resources for staff on the L&D SharePoint. All of our staff are automatically a member of that group, simply by being enrolled in the Teams channel for Learning and Development.
We have a special page dedicated to our Academic Coaches in our SharePoint, linked here:
You can also find videos of previous Gladiator Forum sessions, AC Training Days, and other trainings. Start on our SharePoint homepage and find the libraries of videos (along with lots of other resources!)
Academic Coach Training Stream Channel (will be retired soon)
This Stream channel is full of videos from Academic Coach training days and any other training sessions an AC might find useful. Check back often, as we upload videos to this channel after trainings throughout the year.
