Academic Coaches
KSI's Academic Coaches work with Scholars in the after school program to help students improve their academic skills and performance in the areas of math, language arts and sciences. An Individual Learning Plan is created for each Scholar, and the Academic Coaches use that plan to guide their work with the student and to communicate with parents about each student's needs and progress.
