[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What exactly does an EF coach do?  This is what I don’t understand

What does an EF coach do to assist in learning global EF skills not related to school work?

If an EF coach is focused on school work and they see the child 1x per week, how do they know what assignments are due or should be studied for?  Does this presume that the student wrote down their assignments/test dates while in school?[/quote]

My child's EF coach has her own "parent" account for Google classroom and gets alerts when something isn't submitted on time. During sessions, she looks at the student view of Google classroom with my child. It misses assignments not on Google classroom, but they catch 99% of assignments.[/quote]

Interesting.  That would explain how the EF coaches know what's going on in school.  Does your childs coach only focus on school related tasks or do they do other things?  For example, thinking through how much time it takes to get from A to B.  Or thinking that you should pack a snack if you have an activity from 4-8pm.  Maybe realizing that if you don't do laundry tonight, you won't have any clean clothes tomorrow?  Or developing the ability to see that they have scheduled too many things back to back or overlapping and they can't possibly be everywhere at once?[/quote]

Mostly school-related stuff, but that includes time management and balance with other activities. She'd probably work on the other things if I asked, but management of school work is my highest priority.[/quote]
