Job Description:

Academic Partnerships is wholly committed to the long term success of
state universities, believing that they must stop forfeiting market share. Academic Partnerships considers state universities sleeping giants that, when awakened, will reassert themselves and transform 21st century higher education to the benefit of large underserved populations.

Academic Coaches are highly qualified, experienced practitioners who most frequently serve as the liaison between the university faculty member and students. The exact qualifications and requirements of an Academic Coach are tailored according to individual university and program needs. Often the Academic Coach is the student\’s initial
point of contact.

Coaches monitor student engagement, facilitate course content, provide
online student support, and regularly collaborate with university faculty. Academic Coaches serve as facilitators and graders; University faculty are the teachers of record.

The Academic Coaching positions are considered part-time work (as an
independent contractor). Academic coach positions are all online and we work with individuals worldwide to assist faculty in delivery the courses and ensure student success. Positions ranging from 10 to 40 hours per week are available for qualified candidates to work from home as online teaching assistants or academic coaches.

Academic Coaches who consistently complete coach assignments with quality will be considered for additional sections or responsibilities. We do not want to over extend a coaches\’ responsibilities to such a degree that this negatively impacts their ability to serve students. In a first assignment, the practical limit is 50 students, with 30 being more typical. A highly proficient coach with ample time may be
assigned up to 150 students but this is the upper limit.

Coaches are assigned to courses, and the courses are offered in a carousel format – in which the same course is not offered each course cycle. The courses are divided into sections of approximately 30 students. You can be assigned to multiple sections within a course.

Coaching assignments are made in consultation with Program Directors and
Lead Coaches. Either of whom may guide the candidate in a short orientation to the assigned program and course. Actual course assignments are made near to the course start date and are dependent on
many factors including: area and level of graduate study, university approval and student enrollments.
