The Advanced Academic Coach (AAC) works with teachers to provide access, affirmation, and advocacy for students.

• As an instructional coach, the AAC’s primary role is to support teachers in meeting the daily differentiation needs of identified students.
• The AAC provides access to advanced academic resources and critical & creative thinking strategies for ALL students through collaboration with and coaching of teachers.
• The AAC helps affirm the ongoing support for ALL student populations by helping teachers to become talent scouts and develop portfolios to gather evidence of students’ talent and growth over time.

The AAC is a student advocate committed to collaboration with teachers, as well as administrators and specialists.
