Parker Core Knowledge • Parker, CO

1d • $58,000 - $70,000 • Onsite

About The Position

The K-8 Student Success Coach focuses on the "how" of learning. Unlike a traditional tutor who focuses on content, this coach works directly with students to build the foundational brain-based skills such as organization, emotional regulation, and task initiation, which are needed to navigate the classroom. You will serve as a bridge between the student’s potential and their daily performance, helping them build a "toolbox" for lifelong independence.

• Minimum of 3 years of experience working with school-aged children in an educational, counseling, intervention, coaching, or related setting.
• Deep understanding of the developmental stages of executive functions in children from ages 5 to 14.

Responsibilities

• Support students in identifying triggers and using self-regulation tools to manage frustration, transitions, and classroom focus.
• Develop and monitor plans and progress for small groups of students, with specific EF goals.
• Push into classrooms to help students apply organizational strategies in real-time and provide teachers with "EF-friendly" environmental tweaks (e.g., visual schedules or simplified desk systems).
• Teach student lessons on EF on an as needed basis.
• Conduct 4-6 workshops/informational sessions throughout the school year for PCK parents to ensure organizational systems at school are mirrored and supported at home.
