A
partnership with the Waldorf College Academic Achievement
Center for Excellence, the Academic Coaches program matches
volunteers with students in need of assistance with study
and comprehension skills. Students have proven success after
weekly interaction with their coach. In 2007-2008, 12 academic
coach volunteers assisted nine students, improving their study
skills, note taking and comprehension of class materials. After
meeting with their academic coach for a semester, 90 percent
of the students felt they understood their material better,
while 80 percent improved their study habits and felt more
confident.
“The
Academic Coaches are a vital part of our program that we could
not do without.”
